Five-Step Grant Award Process 1. Preliminary Screening of Applications. The Board staff will screen applications to determine if all requested information is complete and adheres to application requirements. An application must be received or hand-delivered with proper authorization from the program director(s) and the institution s representative for sponsored programs by 5:00 p.m. before or on March 1, 2006 to qualify for further consideration.

The reviewers will evaluate each application based on criteria established by rule for the Minority Health Research and Education Grant Program. Those criteria may be adapted for this grant competition to more effectively judge the merits of proposed applications. Generally, the criteria are: Significance of program Resources to perform program Program design Cost-sharing Cost-effectiveness Evaluation and expected outcomes 3. Staff Recommendations. Board staff will rank each application based on points assigned by reviewers and recommend a priority ranked list of applications to the Commissioner. 4. Commissioner s Funding Decisions.

In making funding decisions, the Commissioner also may consider state and regional needs and priorities. Individual funding decisions will be based on the written information provided on the application.
