Second Round Discussions

(May 18th, 2009)

Dear Proposal Authors,

The STF Committee will be holding second round proposal discussions this Thursday (May 21), from 3:45-5:30 PM in Padelford Hall, room C-301. As per usual policy, it is requested but not required that a representative attend the meeting to answer any and all questions the Committee may have regarding your proposal. As this is the second round of proposal deliberations, all decisions will be final and binding.

Proposals to be discussed: 2009-003-2, 2009-014-2, 2009-022-2, 2009-041-2, 2009-051-2, 2009-056-2, 2009-098-2, 2009-107-2.


Second Round Open

(April 30th, 2009)

Dear proposal authors,

The first round has ended and award notifications have been sent out! If your proposal was rejected or partially funded, you can submit a second round proposal if you would like the Committee to reconsider part or all of our decision regarding your first round proposal.

The process for second round submissions has now begun, and no submissions will be accepted after Friday, May 15th. Please keep in mind that resubmitting a proposal for the second round also means the Committee has all options on the table - meaning if your proposal was originally partially funded, the Committee may choose to reduce the funding further or altogether reject the proposal. Moreover, due to the unusually high volume of proposal submissions this year, the Committee only has available slightly over $100,000 for funding the second round.

For more information regarding the second round process, please view the documents section of this website, or contact the Program Coordinator at techfee@u.washington.edu


Proposal Tax Problems

(January 23rd, 2009)

Dear proposal authors,

Because there are a good number of 2009 proposals that do not list tax and shipping, please review your proposals to see if yours is one of them. If you have not included this information, please email techfee@u. with the subject title "Attention: Tax & Shipping information correction" and correct the error. Due to the large amount of funds requested this year, if the tax & shipping amount is not included in your proposal when it is presented to the STF Committee, we may be unable to fund them if they are presented to us at a later time.

Thank you!


Updated Information

(November 3rd, 2008)

The techfee website has recently been updated with two new important pieces of information available in the "Documents" section of the website. There is now an updated Frequently Asked Questions PDF that has been modernized to better answer common questions proposal authors may have. Also, the new 2009 Techfee Handbook is available in PDF form in the same section. This document strives to provide all relevant information to proposal authors, committee members, or anyone who has questions about STF. Take a look!
