FY22 Pre-Application Training
Our upcoming Pre-Application (Pre-App) trainings will build off the PPD trainings that took place this past Fall. So be sure to visit our Webinars page in order to catch up before attending this upcoming training. Pre-App training will then teach you how to take your well-developed, community-based, project approach and align it with ANA’s Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Topics will include:
- How to address ANA Framework elements;
- How to communicate the input you garnered through your community-based approach; and,
- How to describe both the reasoning and methodology behind your community’s chosen project.
**If you have not worked closely with your community to develop a project idea before attending this Pre-App training, we highly recommend you complete our PPD training first! Come to Pre-App with your community’s project already in mind.
