Applicants selected for the second stage of review will be invited to submit full proposals. At this time reviewers seek additional information regarding measurable objectives, plans for evaluation, anticipated impact and expectations for long-term financial and programmatic sustainability.

Instructions for submitting full proposals will be included with the invitation. Ten sets are required. All pages of the proposal narrative must be typed in 12-point font, double-spaced, with one-inch margins on all four sides. LFP will hold a proposal workshop via an online Web conference in September 2008 to help the invited applicants prepare their proposals.

Members of an national advisory committee, NPO staff and RWJF staff will review all full proposals. After this review, projects still under consideration for LFP grants will receive site visits. By the time of the site visit there must be clear evidence that matching funds will be in place for the first year and that local funding sources for subsequent years have been identified.

RWJF does not provide individual critiques of proposals submitted.
