Who Should Apply

If you have completed a significant practice-based research project in the last two years and share EDRAs commitment to advancing design research, you should apply to CORE as a way to show how your design research effort is making a real impact on design.

Fees

The application fee is $250 per submission. You will be prompted with a 'Payment' Step during the submission process where you will be redirected to a secure payment site. Once your payment is submitted, you will receive a confirmation number that you will need to enter on the 'Payment' Step of your application to confirm payment. Note: in order for an application to receive an evaluation, the application fee for the submitted project must be received. Initial notification of decisions will be shared on February 1, 2017.

In addition to the standard process of rigorous blind review by an interdisciplinary panel of experts, the 2016 CORE program will again offer an appeals process. Requests for appeals will be accepted for two weeks after initial results are shared with applicants (i.e., from February 1, 2017 to February 15, 2017).

The fee for an appeal review is $50 per submission. If an applicant opts for an appeal, the payment will be made at the time via a secure online payment site. Note: in order for an application to receive an appeal evaluation, the appeal review fee for the submitted project must be received. Final notification of decisions and public announcement of 2016 CORE recipients will be shared on March 15, 2017.
