Why are proposals declined?
For many reasons. The most common is that there are more worthwhile projects than funds available. Sometimes, however, relevant information is missing from the grant request, e.g., how a project will be sustained once grant funds terminate or how the project outcomes will be evaluated. Occasionally, the work plan will be incomplete or not thought to be adequate to achieve the desired outcomes.
