New application process for SPS Multi-Year Projects
12 June 2025
2 MIN READ
NATO’s Science for Peace and Security Programme (SPS) fosters timely and impactful technological innovation to address security challenges. In light of the changed security environment, the Programme has experienced a significant increase in visibility over the past several years. In 2024, two calls for proposals received 300 submissions – the highest number for one calendar year in the Programme’s history.
To streamline the growing number of applications for Multi-Year Projects (MYPs), the SPS Programme has introduced a new two-phase application process applicable to the recently opened call for proposals.
In phase one, applicants are invited to submit a short-form proposal, which will be evaluated by the SPS Office and the Independent Scientific Evaluation Group (ISEG). Only applicants whose proposals have been recommended for further development by the ISEG will be invited to participate in phase two of the application process by submitting a full proposal for second evaluation. Once submitted, phase two proposals will be evaluated and those recommended for award by the ISEG will be shared with Allies for final approval.
The application process for Events has not changed.
The simplified proposal in phase one will allow applicants to present their innovative ideas with fewer administrative requirements during the initial step, while those invited to participate in phase two will benefit from increased engagement with the SPS Programme during the further development of their research proposal. The new two-phase application process for MYPs will provide more opportunities for engagement with applicants early in the process, leading to higher-quality research proposals, clear relevance to SPS priorities, and the improved likelihood of successful and applicable outcomes.
