With the Call for Proposals for Round 7 due in less than one month's time, Aidspan has published three documents providing guidance for applicants considering applying in this round. The three documents are:

1. Deciding Whether to Apply for a Round 7 Global Fund Grant
2. Deciding Whether to Submit a Non-CCM Proposal for the Global Fund's Round 7
3. Deciding Whether to Submit a Regional Proposal for the Global Fund's Round 7

All three documents are available at www.aidspan.org/guides. The text of each document has been extracted from a forthcoming guide entitled he Aidspan Guide to Round 7 Applications to the Global Fund, which will be released shortly after 1 March 2007, the expected date for the release of the Call for Proposals. Already available on the same web page is An Analysis of the Strengths and Weaknesses of Proposals Submitted to the Global Fund in Rounds 3-6 - Based on Comments of the Technical Review Panel, which is another excerpt from the forthcoming Round 7 guide. When The Aidspan Guide to Round 7 Applications to the Global Fund is released, it will contain, in addition to the above-mention extracts, a step-by-step guide to filling out the Round 7 Proposal Form.
