       Dear all,
       We are pleased to announce that the 2017 OAD Annual Call for
       Proposals is now open. This call has been altered from previous
       years to enhance engagement with project leaders and the
       potential impact of projects.

       The new call for proposals consists of two application stages.
       The Stage 1 proposal (due 31 May 2017) is open to proposers from
       anywhere in the world. Proposers submit a brief online
       application with the key aspects of their project. Stage 1
       proposals, typically only 2 pages long, will be scored by the
       OAD Task Forces based on a set of defined criteria. We are now
       accepting applications for Stage 1.

       Selected proposals will be invited to submit a more
       comprehensive Stage 2 application. During Stage 2, teams will
       engage and work closely with the OAD, its Regional Offices where
       applicable, and other experts, who will provide guidance and
       feedback to improve the application. Based on these
       interactions, proposers may modify their Stage 2 application and
       submit by 15 September 2017. The revised Stage 2 applications
       will be reviewed by the OAD Task Forces, which will make
       recommendations on projects to be funded. After final approval
       from the Steering Committee, applicants will be notified of the
       results in November 2017.

       A comprehensive new "Getting Started" section provides
       background information on Astronomy for Development, project
       design, needs analysis, monitoring and evaluation, surveys,
       assessments, etc. Please refer to this section before you start
       your application.
