The program received 48 preliminary proposals totaling approximately$27 million. Of those proposals, <br /> 32 have been determined to be either competitive or marginally competitive. The remaining proposals were <br /> determined to be not competitive. Our projected amount for grants this cycle is$17 million. <br /> Assigning three degrees of competitiveness is a way to ensure that only full applications with a sound chance of <br /> receiving awards will be submitted. This process is intended to allow applicants to make informed decisions about <br /> whether or not to pursue the time and expense associated with submitting an application. <br /> We anticipate proposals that receive a competitive and marginally competitive label will submit a full application, but <br /> we caution that this does not guarantee funding of a project. We also anticipate that improvements from the original <br /> proposals will be made in order to compete not only for an award, but to solidify interest in order to achieve the full <br /> goals proposed. We do not expect to receive full applications from proposals that were determined to be not <br /> competitive. <br /> Do not hesitate to contact your SCDP Representative with questions about suggestions to improve a competitive or <br /> marginally competitive proposal. However, if your proposal was assigned as not competitive, please allow us time to <br /> work with competitive and marginally competitive proposals. We will provide those associated with not competitive <br /> proposals the opportunity to work with us after 2016 grant implementation workshops on improvements for possible <br /> resubmission for 2017 funding. <br /> Full applications are due to our office by 4:30 p.m. on February 25th. No fax or electronic copies will be accepted. <br /> The proposals that received a determination of competitive were: <br /> DeGraff <br /> Eagle Bend <br /> Howard Lake <br /> 1 <br />
