How long should I give myself to apply for a CREATE
grant?
Applying for a CREATE grant should not be left until the
last minute. In order to receive a grant number and access to the application,
you must first complete
the five pre-application
steps outlined in the grant guidelines. Because of this, it is not advised to start the
pre-application process right before the
application deadline. Once all five pre-application steps have been completed
successfully and these items have been verified by CRHC CREATE grant staff, a
confirmation email is sent to the applicant within 3 business days that
includes login instructions to access the grant application. Once
you have access to the application, it is to your advantage to allow ample time
to craft a well-written application, seek feedback from others, and ultimately
submit a grant that accurately reflects the needs of your organization.
