Also, grant seekers may consider reviewing the federal budget for the current and future fiscal years to determine proposed dollar amounts for particular budget functions. The grant seeker should carefully study the eligibility requirements for each government or foundation program under consideration (see, for example, the Applicant Eligibility and Rules and Regulations sections of the CFDA program description). Federal department and agency websites generally include additional information about their programs. CFDA program descriptions and websites include information contacts. Applicants should direct questions and seek clarification about requirements and deadlines from the contacts. The applicant may learn that he or she is required to provide services otherwise unintended such as a service to particular client groups, or involvement of specific institutions. It may necessitate the modification of the original concept in order for the project to be eligible for funding. Questions about eligibility should be discussed with the appropriate program officer. For federal grants, funding opportunities notices appear on websites such as Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov or FedConnect at https://www.fedconnect.net. Applicants can search and sign up for email notification of funding opportunities, and download applications packages. To submit applications, registration is required. The grantseeker must also obtain Dun and Bradstreet (DUNS) and register with Central Contractor Registration (CCR): Grants.gov provides instructions and links. Deadlines for submitting applications are often not negotiable, though some federal programs do have open application dates (refer to the CFDA program description). For private foundation funding opportunities, grant seekers should contact foundations or check the Foundation Center’s website for daily postings of Requests for Proposals (RFPs) at http://foundationcenter.org/findfunders/fundingsources/rfp.html. Specified deadlines are usually associated with strict timetables for agency or foundation review. Some programs have more than one application deadline during the fiscal or calendar year. Applicants should plan proposal development around the established deadlines. </div>\n<div class=\"ff6\" style=\"font-size:104px\">\nGetting Organized to Write the Proposal </div>\n<div class=\"ff4\" style=\"font-size:75px\">\nThe grant seeker, after narrowing the field of potential funders, may want to approach the most likely prospects to confirm that they might indeed be interested in the project. Many federal agencies and foundations are willing to provide an assessment of a preliminary one- or two-page concept paper before a formal proposal is prepared. The concept paper should give a brief description of the needs to be addressed, who is to carry out the project, what is to be accomplished, by what means, how long it will take, how the accomplishments will be measured, plans for the future, how much it will cost, and the ways this proposal relates to the mission of the funding source. Developing a concept paper is excellent preparation for writing the final proposal. The grant seeker should try to see the project or activity from the viewpoint of the grant-making agency or foundation. Like the proposal, the concept paper should be brief, clear, and informative. It is important to understand that from the funder’s vantage point, the grant is not seen as the end of the process, but only as the midpoint. The funder will want to know what will happen to the project once the grant ends. For example, will it be self-supporting or will it be used as a demonstration to apply for further funding? Will it need ongoing support, for how long, and what are the anticipated outcomes? </div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<div class=image_layer style=\"z-index: 1\">\n<div class=ie_fix>\n<img class=\"absimg\" style=\"left:129px;top:69px;width:642px;height:6px;clip:rect(1px 641px 2px 1px)\" orig=\"http://html.scribd.com/14nn1rnyo02yv9l8/images/7-6f6c93eb77.jpg\"/>\n<img class=\"absimg\" style=\"left:129px;top:1071px;width:642px;height:6px;clip:rect(4px 641px 5px 1px)\" orig=\"http://html.scribd.com/14nn1rnyo02yv9l8/images/7-6f6c93eb77.jpg\"/>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n"]);
