Menu-Driven RAPID - RAPID Guides for SPO Funding Mechanisms  
RAPID Guides

The RAPID data requirements for proposals and awards have been formulated into RAPID modules which reflect the SPO Funding Mechanism:  WFO/Federal; WFO/NIH: WFO/Non-Federal; Users, Gifts, DOE/M&O Contractors, and CRADAs.

 

Each module is a RAPID menu link – hence the concept of Menu-Driven RAPID.  Only the data requirements for the SPO Mechanism you are working on will need to be completed.

 

This re-configuration of RAPID leads End Users to only the pages that need to be completed and then only the data required for the type of proposal (mechanism) that they are working on.

 

If you do not know what type of SPO Mechanism to use, please contact your SPO Contracts Officers.

 

The RAPID Manuals are listed to your right.  Several are being revised and the links to do yet work.  If  you have any questions, please contact RAPIDHelp@lbl.gov
