Year-Round Training and Events for Successful Programs and Projects
The ANA Western Region is gearing up for our 2023 Pre-Application Training with 2 in-person training sessions and 2 virtual training sessions. We’re looking forward to meeting with you face-to-face or online to help you turn your community-based project into a competitive application. And, as always, if you are unable to attend our live sessions, our pre-recorded trainings are available!
We also offer free one-on-one technical assistance at any time! Simply submit a assistance request, here. Pre-recorded trainings can be viewed on our Webinars Page here.
2023 Pre-Application Training
Our upcoming Pre-App trainings will help you work closely with your community to frame your community-based project plan as a viable and competitive ANA grant application. Drafting an ANA grant is not difficult when you take a project built around the community’s wants and needs and use it as the basis of your proposal; and we’ll show you exactly how to do that! Topics for both in-person and virtual trainings will be dependent on time constraints, but both will include:
- How to understand the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO);
- How to align a community-based project design with the scoring criteria used in panel review; and,
- How to prepare for the next steps in the submission process.
This training is focused on application development and will not cover how to design a community-based project plan. If you have not engaged your community to identify the project they wish to see implemented, then be sure to check out our Project Planning and Development training videos on our Webinars tab. Don’t wait! Start planning now!

This training usually takes place in the Summer or Fall of each year, check back for our next event!
- Pre-Application (Pre-App): In-person event to walk you through the Federal Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), what’s expected in your grant proposal, and how to adapt your community-based project to ANA’s review criteria. Come to this training with a project idea already in mind. If you aren’t quite there yet, consider attending our PPD training first or check out the <PPD manual> in advance. This training usually takes place in the Winter or Spring of each year, check back for our next event!
- Post-Award: In-person event held strictly for recent ANA grantees. Here we walk through the ANA grant cycle and expectations for reaching project objectives and goals. If you are a new grantee, you are required to attend this training and ANA will be in touch with more details. If you are an applicant, you can learn more about ANA’s expectations by looking at the Post-Award Manual or the Grants Management Toolkit – use these resources to flesh out your project design.
