We must set forth criteria for review and evaluation of the project, closing dates and times, and grantee reporting requirements. The narrative is the heart of the application. It explains the need and the problem which the grant proposes to solve. We need to show that we have the experience to get the job done and show references, such as letters of support from state officials. Our grant applications will be passed on by the state agency and then reviewed by a panel of federal officials.
Unique proposals are the most likely to be funded.
