Receipt of proposals will be acknowledged via email. Please ensure that your email address is included in your proposal application. The CRI may be in touch with applicants during this process to discuss their submission. − − Applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible so that the CRI can provide feedback. At least one round of feedback is suggested. The deadline for submitting final proposals is April 18, 2023. If there is still sufficient funding for future years, the CRI will launch additional call(s) to solicit proposals. − − Submitted proposals will be assessed to determine best fit with the overall objectives of the Regulators’ Capacity Fund. Successful applications will be determined based on the results of a competitive review process and budgetary considerations, as determined by the Assessment Committee (composed of TBS representatives). Successful proposals will be notified that they have been selected to receive funding under the Regulators’ Capacity Fund and will begin the process to draft a Memorandum of Understanding in order to obtain funds and initiate their project. Applicants that were not selected for funding will be notified. Line 83:

The results of the study will help determine the regulatory equivalency of drone-based applications to ground based and airplane-based applications to inform future regulatory decision-making.
