Each year, IRL has a specific theme that applicants are requested to address in their proposal. Please make sure any new application has a focus that is aligned with the theme for the cohort to which you are applying.

If you or members of your team apply after not being selected, you will want to consider revising your application in scope, focus, or team composition for a new application. Please see the Crafting a Competitive Application page.

All members of the team must not have previously been selected with a previous IRL team.
