After you have watched the pre-recorded application training, you will be provided the opportunity to attend work sessions to ask specific questions to increase the quality of your application. While work session attendance IS NOT required, it is strongly encouraged. Remember, this is a competitive funding process and only the top-scoring programs are placed on panels and are able to receive funding so you don’t want to leave any points on the table in a competitive funding process! Even if you do not have any specific questions in mind, some great “real life” discussion will be happening about completing the application and should prove invaluable!
