The TIG application process in the General TIG category begins with the submission of a brief Pre-Application to apply for funding. The submission of a Pre-Application enables a prospective grantee to get feedback on their project idea. We invite full proposals for those projects that have a reasonable chance of success in the grant competition process based on LSC’s analysis of the information provided in the Pre-Application. Below are links to the Pre-Application Resource Guide and Pre-Application Module. Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact TIG staff with any questions or to get information about prior TIG projects. Please note that applicants for Technology Improvement Projects (TIPs) category do not need to submit Pre-Applications.

For proposals in the TIG General and the Sustainability, Enhancement, and Adoption (SEA) categories, LSC invites successful pre-applicants to submit a Full Application in the LSC GrantEase online system. Full applications are due on June 18, 2025.

LSC will host an informational meeting for invited applicants on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. EDT.
