If you can ask what they prefer, then ask, as others have said. In the absence of definitive direction, I'd send a PDF. The proposal represents valuable intellectual property that you don't want anything to mess with. We know that Word has a tendency to mangle documents if there is an opportunity for Murphy's Law to apply.

If they are going to ask for electronic submissions, they should provide the specifications for you to do so correctly. Let's hope they don't have fields in a web page for you to fill in. :-)

submitted in Word, or as a PDF?

My inclination is to PDF. Thoughts?
