- Agencies frequently receive funding opportunities through requests for proposals (RFPs).
- Deciding whether to pursue these funding opportunities requires careful consideration of potential benefits and drawbacks.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide administrators with a structured evaluation framework for assessing funding proposals.
