Funding Requests. 11.1 The Consortium seeks the approval of the Fund Council for research and other programs to implement the SRF by submitting CRP proposals to the Fund Council. The Fund Council and the Consortium are expected to determine and coordinate an appropriate degree of and approach for Fund Donor input into the development of CRP proposals. Descriptions in each CRP proposal and reporting by the Consortium on the use of funds received under the resulting CRP are expected to have sufficient granularity to demonstrate progress on activities funded in such program, with a focus on outputs, outcomes and impacts, highlighting the SRF and impact pathways. 11.2 In submitting a CRP proposal to the Fund Council for approval, the Consortium is understood to agree that such CRP proposal is within the scope of the SRF and that, following Fund Council approval, the ensuing CRP will be within the scope of the SRF for purposes of implementation. In approving a CRP proposal, the Fund Council is understood to agree that such CRP proposal is within the scope of the SRF. 11.3 Each CRP proposal submitted to the Fund Council for funding has one Lead Center, as described in the proposal. Implementation of each CRP is expected to involve two or more Centers and their partners, with relevant management arrangements to be described in the proposal submitted to the Fund Council. 11.4 The Fund Council has no authority to make changes to Consortium or other recipient proposals prior to approval, but may always recommend changes and resubmission. 11.5 The format for and other aspects of CRP proposals are as agreed between the Fund Council and the Consortium. Each such proposal is expected to include, among other aspects, a program content description and financing plan with a Core Budget in United States dollars, setting out the reasonably anticipated funding expected to be received from (i) Window 1 and Window 2 (i.e. the Fund Council-Allocated Component) and (ii) Window 3 and Bilateral Funders (i.e. the Window 3 and Bilateral Component) during the proposed life of the CRP. In addition to the Core Budget, each such proposal may include a description of the activities that would be conducted, and the costs of each such activity, if additional, then-unanticipated Window 3 or Bilateral Funding financial resources become available during the proposed life of the CRP (i.e. the Expanded Funding Component). (The Fund Council-Allocated Component, the Window 3 and Bilateral Component and the Expanded Funding Component shall each be a Component and together constitute the Total Budget for the CRP.) The Fund Council may develop procedures for the review of such proposals. 11.6 All CRP proposals are expected to receive review and comment from the ISPC, consistent with the Fund Council’s Rules of Procedure, on scientific merit and partnership aspects prior to any Fund Council approval of the proposal. 11.7 At the time the Fund Council is considering a CRP proposal for approval, the Fund Council is expected to have the following information available: (i) from the Consortium, specific identification of all funds from all funding sources expected to finance the proposal, including the Fund Council-Allocated Component and the Window 3 and Bilateral Component, and possibly an Expanded Funding Component, (ii) from the Fund Office, information about prospects for future contributions to the CGIAR Fund and future amounts committed or indicated through Contribution Agreements and Arrangements, (iii) from the Trustee, cash balances in the CGIAR Fund, and (iv) from the ISPC, advice and comment on the proposal. The Fund Council, in consultation with the Consortium, decides (i) whether to approve the proposal, including Total Budget and each Component thereof proposed by the Consortium, and (ii) if so, from what combination of Window 1 and 2 funds to finance the approved funding commitment to the Consortium, as applicable. The Fund Council may decide (i) and (ii) at different times. 11.8 The Fund Council may at any time commission additional expert reviews for any funding proposals presented for its approval. In doing so, the Fund Council seeks to balance its interest in receiving advice with the goal of limiting administrative burdens on the Consortium and Centers.
