Project teams should be composed of the members who bring the competencies and skills needed to successfully carry out the proposed activities. Projects that combine members from academic, decision-maker and corporate organizations are considered to have additional strength that will be recognized during the application review process.
Projects MUST include a decision-maker partner. Collaboration is encouraged with the population of interest, the decision-maker, other relevant organizations and researchers. When relevant and appropriate, those affected by the proposed initiative should be involved in the development, implementation and evaluation of the project.
