Review Criteria for NAFA/FF Small Grant Program

Review Criteria for NAFA/Falconry Fund Small Grant Program

All proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the NAFA Conservation Committee (and other appointed subject experts, as needed). Reviewers will have a broad range of expertise and background and will not necessarily be subject matter experts. Proposals should be written accordingly. The committee will send the RFSG funding recommendations to the NAFA board for formal approval of funds to be distributed. NAFA leadership will forward approved proposals to the FF board for joint award announcement and distribution.

Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated on the basis of the following criteria:
