What if I submit a project proposal but it doesn’t get funded?

Applying to the President’s Administrative Innovation Fund has been a competitive process – not all proposals have received funding and we expect that will continue to be the case going forward. There is a finite amount of funding and we generally receive more good ideas than it is possible to support.

Our intention is to provide feedback on all proposals so that you can continue to strengthen your idea for future consideration.

Additionally, we encourage you to review Funded Projects and to use the resources on the President’s Administrative Innovation Fund to continue to learn more about innovation.
