What CNCS/CV considerations do we need to take into account when making the decision to change our program design?
CV encourages applicants to focus their programs on issue areas in which partnerships have specific expertise, and that directly relate to the community need identified in the program narrative. In scoring applications, reviewers will consider several factors to evaluate the legal applicant and partnership’s capacity to administer the proposed program, including the grantee’s past history and performance, connection of program design to the community need identified and likely impact or change that will result in what the community needs, etc.
