One of the ESP RFP items live at capture. ESP RFPs "define focused problems and outline clear target outcomes. They are more prescriptive and time-bound", and per the EF announcement each RFP carries "a set application window" - but no dates are published on the RFP listing page. Support also includes "Visibility and amplification across Devcon channels", "Non-financial support (connections, guidance, coordination)" and "Limited Devcon tickets (free or discounted), based on contribution and availability".
