The application period for the 2004 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program is Monday, March 1, 2004, to Friday, Apri12, 2004. Complete application packages must be submitted electronically or otherwise received by us on or before the close of business (5:00 �.m. EST) on Friday, April 2, 2004. Applications submitted by mail must be post- marked by March 30, 2004, or received by us on or before close of business (5:00 p.m. EST) on April 2, 2004. We will not accept late, faxed, or emailed applications. The automated grant application system has features built into it that will guarantee that the application is complete when submitted. We will not accept incomplete applications submitted by mail. We will evaluate each application in the preliminary screening process to determine which applications best address the program's established priorities. This preliminary screening is based on the applicants' answers to the activity-specific questions. Each activity within an application will be scored and applications that have multiple activities will have the scores prorated based on the amount of funding requested for each activity. The best applications as determined in this preliminary step will be deemed to be in the "competitive range." All applications in the competitive range will be subject to a second level review by a technical evaluation panel made up of individuals from the fire service including firefighters, fire marshals, fire training instructors, etc. The panelists will assess the application's merits with respect to the clarity and detail provided in the narrative about the project, the applicant's financial need, and the project's purported benefit to be derived from the cost. �
