Proposal Comparative Analysis

This report contains two visuals and a table that facilitate comparative analysis of proposals. The section was designed to help answer the following questions:

  • Am I meeting my proposal submission goals for this year?
  • How am I doing with proposal submissions through a particular month as compared to the same quarter (or month) last year?
  • How am I doing year-to-date on awarded, pending, and not funded proposals, compared to the same quarter (or month) last year?
  • Are there any trends in award rates for certain months, and can these trends be associated with other factors? for example, is there increased or decreased success when proposals are submitted close to deadlines?
