The purpose of stage one is to satisfy the Funding Committee that the proposal is sufficiently aligned with the objectives and assessment criteria of the Fund to progress to stage two (feasibility study).
The minimum requirements of a feasibility study are set out in the Feasibility Study Guidance Notes.

Timeframes for the funding process are expected to be as follows:
- 18 December 2009: Closing date for applicants to submit concept proposals to the Ministry.
- 1 February 2010: Applicants notified of whether the proposal will proceed to stage two (feasibility study).
- 31 May 2010: Feasibility studies completed.

- 30 September 2010: Business cases completed.
