The CFI launched a Call for Proposals for the New Initiatives Fund Competition in July 2005. The Call was launched jointly with that for the Leading Edge Fund, with which it has a joint a budget of $325M. The first step was the submission of Notices of Intent (NOIs) in November 2005. This is now complete and there are more than 400 Notices of Intent requesting over $1 billion from the CFI. This represents almost $2.5 billion in infrastructure requests when one includes the partner funding.
