We are pleased to announce two new Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to fit within NPM’s two new research streams. We are looking to increase NPM research to address our strategic direction, research themes and our identified research priorities. The streams are:

1. Thematic Research Commissioning. Open to projects within NPM research priorities. Projects will be selected to join NPM research. A total of $3 million is available over the next 2 years, and projects will be expected to start April 2012. Applications must be from researchers at a participating research entity (PREs).
