RFP Process Timeline

Our process timeline is like a roadmap for our projects. It shows the steps we need to take and when to do them. This helps us stay organized and lets everyone know what’s happening.

 

We set goals and deadlines to make sure we stay on schedule. It’s important for us to have this timeline so that our projects go smoothly and everyone is satisfied. Take a look.

 

Thank you to everyone who has submitted grant applications for this funding opportunity. Our review team is in the process of evaluating the submissions and will make an award announcement by Dec 30, 2024.
