Responsive Component: Applicants Move to Stage 3
On September 3, 2015, nine partnership teams delivered pitch presentations to the MCW Consortium on Public and Community Health and external content experts.
Based on the presentations and discussion of the proposed projects, the MCW Consortium invited eight partnerships to advance to the final, full proposal stage.
In the full proposal, partnership teams describe their initiative in further detail and respond to questions and suggestions from the brief proposal and pitch presentation phases. Projects will be selected for funding in November and begin in January.
The next opportunity to learn more about the Responsive component is in late November 2015 with a brief proposal deadline of early January 2016.
