Some areas of DASA’s proposal submission service will be temporarily unavailable while we undertake necessary upgrades
Work to implement upgrades to our online proposal submissions service is due to complete by 16 March 2023
During this time you will not be able to apply for DASA’s Open Call, Innovation Focus Areas or Themed Competitions
Relevant competition documents, proposal guidelines and a locked PDF version of our new application form will be made available enabling submissions to be started offline.
Following feedback from innovators and assessors, DASA is working to make improvements to our application process. As this work is being undertaken, we will need to temporarily close the online submissions service for the Open Call for Innovation (including Innovation Focus Areas) and Themed Competitions until 16 March 2023. This is a later date than previously advertised and we apologise for any inconvenience.
The updates to the submission service will include:
Improvements to the application form to make it easier to complete and assess
Clearer application guidelines for innovators
Clearer assessment guidelines for assessors and moderators
Open Call for Innovation (including Innovation Focus Areas) and Themed Competitions
To minimise disruption, the DASA Open Call for Innovation will reopen on 2 March as planned and we will continue to launch new Themed Competitions. However, you will not be able to submit applications to these competitions online until 16 March. A locked PDF version of the application form will be made available so that proposals can be started offline. Once the portal has reopened, information can be transferred to the online application form.
Defence Innovation Loans/DTEP
You may still submit applications for Defence Innovation Loans and the Defence Technology Exploitation Programme (DTEP) using the submission service.
Completion of Work
The submissions service is due to fully reopen on 16 March 2023. We will publicise this on the DASA website, social media and through our mailing lists.
If you have any questions during this time, please contact your local Innovation Partner.
