On March 13, more than 90 researchers from all three partners convened at Berkeley Lab for "Proposers' Day," to learn more about the seed program, the opportunities provided by President Obama's BRAIN initiative, and especially to share their research ideas and forge new collaborations.
All these CTSI-managed opportunities included incentives for proposers, but in early years, these were generally nonmonetary.
And in this, we have developed a growing appreciation for identifying incentives not only for proposers but also for commenters and reviewers.
Always check the Call for Proposals and Proposers' Observatory Guide for current information, and be sure you are using the latest versions of software linked off the Proposer page when you prepare a proposal.
Game theoretic models prescribe that the optimal solution is for the Proposer to offer as little as possible (say 10 cents), and for the Responder to accept this small amount on the grounds that something is better than nothing [ 8].
In the UG, the payoff-maximizing strategy for the responder (individual level) is to accept all offers, and, reciprocally, for the proposer it is to make the smallest possible offer [ 16].
According to standard economic theory, the rational strategy is for the proposer to offer the lowest possible amount (in order to keep as much money for himself as possible) and for the responder to accept even the smallest amount, since the alternative is getting nothing at all.
The request for proposals (RFP) asked all proposers to submit a plan to collect trash identically to what our residents have now, including continuing to pick up everything you leave at your curb, canned or not.
After finishing the game, the participants, who had allowed their pictures to be taken and used in future trials for future participants, were asked to play the role of proposer and to write 10 different proposals on paper.
Please provide all bidders / proposers the following contract documents, as part of your Request for Proposal "RFP"* or Invitation for Bid "IFB"**, as applicable.
