Quick Tip for CREATE Grant Applications

There are several important pieces to a successful CREATE Grant Application. Explaining your request amount is critical. Providing as much detail and information as possible up-front strengthens your application and allows for a smoother overall application, award, and reimbursement process. As you are filling out your CREATE Grant Application, you will notice that you are asked to provide a break-down of each fee including description and amount. If you are applying for “fees”, you must explain what those fees provide and for what each portion of the fee pays (books, parking, etc.). As outlined in the July 2014 – June 2015 Grant Guidelines, CREATE does not cover the following expenses: (1) Vaccinations or personal protective equipment; (2) Background checks; (3) Meals including per diem allowance; (4) Uniforms and shoes; (5) Purchasing or leasing or training equipment; (6) Stethoscopes, sphygmomanometers or other durable medical equipment. Detailing the fee break-down may take some time and effort since you may need to track down that information from other individuals, agencies or organizations, so as always, start the application process early as possible.
