What are the evaluative criteria for the ESP grants?
ESP grants are evaluated based on the extent to which the proposal addresses the characteristics of successful partnerships, which are listed in the Introduction to the AIE guidelines. Helpful hints for answering the application questions are found in pop-up text boxes within the online application. They can be accessed (and printed) by opening the online application and clicking on each question. Applicants can also find a Partnership Self-Evaluation Tool and other valuable resources on the ESP website at www.espartsed.org. The Self-Evaluation tool can help your partnership get a sense of its strengths and weaknesses, which will aid in your partnership planning efforts and your proposal preparation.
