2024 Pre-Application Training

The ANA Western Region Pre-Application (Pre-App) Training registration is open! 

Our upcoming Pre-App trainings will aid you in communicating your community-based project in alignment with the NEW Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFO). This training will cover the new review criteria and how to address each in your application. Before joining our upcoming training, it is crucial that you have already begun developing a project around the community’s wants and needs and involving your community’s input in the design of the project plan. This strong community foundation will enable you to easily and successfully draft a competitive grant proposal. This is not a step you’ll want to miss! Find more information about project planning in the resource library, in our past blog posts, and on the webinars tab above.

Topics for both in-person and virtual Pre-App trainings will be dependent on time constraints, but both will include:

  • How to read the NEW NOFOs;
  • How to align your community-based project design to the NOFO; and,
  • How to apply for ANA funding.

If you haven’t started on the process of engaging your community or if you would like to catch up on a missed PPD training, then visit our Webinars tab.

This virtual training will meet on 2 days each week over the course of 2 weeks.

Plan to attend all training days in the session.

A spread out training will help you apply concepts in your community in real time and digest the information we present.
