<p class="MsoNormal">Michigan used to do a small summer programming grant and a larger year long project grant. We are still doing the larger one, but the small one is on hold. I am pondering how to revamp it so I don’t have to review 150-200 ideas and budgets
in a few weeks flat and then do the same with the reimbursements a few months later. The workload is too much. I am considering identifying a few summer projects – You can do X with this exact purchasing list and these evaluation questions. I welcome any insights
on how and how well you think it might work. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If we don’t have time in sessions, maybe we could have a subgrants discussion dinner one of the days.
