I didn't really have an opinion on 1 & 2 but was not able to submit the poll without answering those.

I wasn't able to complete my poll as well. Also how many pages is this grant?

I went ahead and just put in a random answer for 1&2 so I could weigh in on 3&4...

Thanks Colby and Lonnie - we'll look at poll again shortly.

Lonnie re: pages - draft RFA is 21 pages - plus links/attachments

For 2019 round, we were notified of award on Dec 12, 2019 and had contract signed on April 17, 2020. Took a little while!

Is the fishing trip grant funded?

I support LaDonna's idea of poll question whether first time applicant

LaDonna take your time, you're doing great! I hear you on being tired

I support the LIVE grant workshops that Ladonna is mentioning

Not sure if CARB has done consultations with applicants, but could be a part of the workshop process

Allow for 15 or 30 minute slots and people can sign up

My Yes/No is under Reactions

I don’t see the poll question

under reactions!

If you’re issuing a phone tap the three dots on the left

Using

Grant writing workshop is good idea; I've heard of having to pay 1000s of dollars for a grant writer for a single grant.

yes - new

Yes - NEW APPLICANT

Click "Participants" on the box that comes up, click "Yes" if you are a new applicant.

No - CVAQ has been awarded before.

No

Yes - New

No - we’ve applied before but I still responded ’90-days’ because we’ve developed grants for collaborative projects with multiple partners, which can take more time to coordinate and finalize materials.

It's fast with existing project teams. Building new partnerships can take time.

+++ to Adrian

Agree with Adrian.

My understanding is the idea is to leverage existing partnerships and relationships. Part of the deliverables can be developing new partnerships and relationships that forward the goals of AB 617.

Kevin - yes, correct.

The latest budget has $5M for Woodstoves added back into it.

I GREATLY appreciate the 90 days. I work for a small non-profit, which means I'm the one managing the grants and doing all the work on them. We need to apply for new grants as our existing ones are running out. It takes time to come up with a new project idea, and carefully think through all the key aspects to make sure the time lines and budgets are do-able. So having a longer window makes it possible to come up with something without putting current grants in jeopardy by missing their deadlines.

90 days also allows time for more community input into potential scope

Thank you Rachel, Dr. Lentz, and Adrian for your comments!

Outreach to Tribal Communities for Comm Air Grants could use improvement. Shannon Dilly at CARB may be able to help improve messaging to Tribes.

Do Third parties and/or contractors have to be located in California. Can they be from out of California?

Thanks for clarifying this. I was confused at first

Joe has a great question on contractors

Thanks Joe for comment on Tribal outreach - we can work with Shannon.

Re: contractors - there are no restrictions in agreement we see. But we can confirm this. Thank you Joe.

Thank you all for this informative workshops .
