KCIR members are eligible to apply for a Krupp Award; if this is your first time applying for an award, ensure you have completed a membership application. Before diving into the award application process, please review the Request for Applications (RFA) document below. In order to plan for your online submission, we offer the invitation to review potential project ideas that may be developed. We will advise applicants on potential relevance of concept ideas as they relate to the objectives of the Krupp Endowed Fund (KEF). Submitting a concept idea for review is not necessary. After an idea is well-developed, application for an award begins with a Letter of Intent (LOI).
