Propose a Project

The adoption of new programs and projects allows HESI to address the most relevant emerging science and serve as a resource for its stakeholders to pursue collaborative scientific evaluation. HESI advances science through our scientific committees, which are comprised of public and private sector scientists who contribute their expertise and resources. Learn more about how we work. HESI provides a unique opportunity for scientific peers from different sectors to work as collaborators in a neutral, scientifically rigorous, and professionally coordinated setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who can submit a proposal?

    Who can submit a proposal? Anyone from the public or private sectors can submit a proposal. Submissions do not require current or prior affiliation with the HESI organization.

  • What are the proposal selection criteria?

    What are the proposal selection criteria? The following criteria are used by the EIC to identify potential projects appropriate for HESI action:

    • The issue should be a priority for a broad cross-section (academia, industry, government, etc.) of the scientific community and should have current public health significance.
    • HESI’s efforts to address the issue will have measurable scientific impact.
    • Lengthy academic research proposals will not be considered. Proposals should reflect applied science as contrasted with basic discovery science.
    • Proprietary and product-specific issues will not be considered. Proposals should not include lobbying or advocacy components.
    • HESI’s efforts to address the issue should not be duplicative of other groups.
    • Although not required, projects that come with matching resources will be given special consideration.
  • Do I need to have dedicated funding to propose a project?

    Do I need to have dedicated funding to propose a project? No. Proposal submissions do not require a commitment of resources, however, projects that bring matching funds or collaborative grants will be given special consideration. HESI will provide staff support for scientific program design, coordination, and management. HESI relies on in-kind contributions from participants as well as dollar contributions from partner organizations to complete more complicated projects, such as laboratory studies.
