section 5 small grant

missing an intro statement

Planning grant text changes - from online review

Question 1.1 – spell out “semi-colon” and put “;” in parenthesis. Alternately we could delete this instruction, it doesn’t seem necessary
Question 1.2 – 1) change instructions about how to select multiple things to “use Cntrl key on your keyboard to select multiple” 2) change “other” next to text box to “Other/innovation”
Questions 1.15 and 1.17 – change from “No, this organization is not…” to “No, this project is not…”
Question 2.5 – delete word “either” in paragraph 2

Planning grant #2.2

Question 2.2 needs instructions for optional upload

Small grants - reference to budget question/section

6.1 and 6.3 say to skip to 6.5 but it should be budget section, it does seem a little strange to have a whole new section for one question that then asks you to go to the upload section. We could have it say …skip to budget question below… or ….skip to budget question at the end of this section. Open to ideas but having it be 6.5 doesn’t work well since it is not related to workforce.

large / small question 2.2

why is this question different between the small / large applications? I think we should strive for consistency where possible.

Help text - Priority Populations

Hey @derekwmiller - We have one term, “priority population” which we think needs to be defined for everyone who reads the application (whether they scroll over the term or not). That term shows up 13 times in the large application and is dispersed throughout. This is different than the terms that we are defining for hover/pop-up definitions. Everyone needs to see it. How would you recommend handling that?

Planning grant section 4

Section 4 – question 2.2 needs an optional upload

final application step -- submit

Unlike the paper applications, for the online forms you need one final action by the user -- submit this application

This is different than the 'save progress' action for each section

You'll need text to accommodate this action

section 3 question 7 small grant

is this a text input or a file upload?

Large grant Section 6 text right before 6.11

Last bullet change persons to people

question 1.9

it's 1.9 on the planning grant. sure it's in the other two grant types as well but unclear on the number right now

seems to me that you're going to get messy data the way this question is written

i would recommend start date / end date, or a number input followed by a type select (day, week, month, year)

Small grant text changes

All changes below are to Small Grant application
1.1 – spell out “semi-colon” and put “;” in parenthesis. Alternately we could delete this instruction, it doesn’t seem necessary
2.8 replace last sentence with “If you already have a written agreement with your fiscal sponsor that includes this information you can attach the agreement instead of writing the narrative description.”
3.1 – Change “Innovation” to “Other/Innovation” in check box and “If innovation,…” to “If other/innovation,…” above text box
3.4 – word count under box- add words “not including Attachment C”
5.2 change word “complete” to “answer”
Section 6 intro text - In bulleted list under 2nd primary bullet, 3rd and 5th sub-bullets change persons to people. Last bullet change persons to people

priority populations code language

Are priority populations defined in code language? If so, should we include that and reference the code document?

Large grant 6.16.b

Planning grant text change

Question 2.4 text change - pasted old text below with new text that should replace it. The new part is in the bullet, couldn't figure out how to highlight in this platform. There is no change to the second bullet in this question (If No,...) so I didn't paste it in.
Old text:
Is the proposed project designed to primarily benefit any of the following PCEF priority populations: people of color, women, people with disabilities, people with low income, or people who are chronically underemployed?
• If Yes, briefly describe the specific population(s) the project is designed to benefit and continue to question 2.5. Do NOT include contractors and people employed to work on the project; they are addressed in another section. (50 to 100 words)
New text:
Is the proposed project designed to primarily benefit any of the following PCEF priority populations: people of color, women, people with disabilities, people with low income, or people who are chronically underemployed?
• If Yes, briefly describe the specific population(s) the project is designed to benefit, including an estimate of the percent of project beneficiaries that will come from that population (e.g. 75% of project benefits will go to women of color),** and continue to question 2.5. Do NOT include contractors and people employed to work on the project; they are addressed in another section. (50 to 100 words)

Closing survey

Hey @derekwmiller - We want to add 2-3 questions for anonymous feedback. We want people to participate but also to trust that it is anonymous. Can this be supported in the same system or should we create the survey somewhere else and link to it? Ideas?

Large grant 6.16.b.ii

Capitalize White

Small grant - attachment A not a thing to upload

3.4 – attachment A is not something you upload, it is just a list of information requirements to include in your project description and scope, no upload instruction needed. Open to ideas about how to make this more clear

need link to guide

question 1.14

section 3 missing question numbers

the first question in section 3 doesn't have a number. throws off the index btw the db and questions on all the other questions.

fixed on my side but my questions now do not share the same numbers as yours

small grant section 6

the opening statement for this section asks for a certification # but there's no question for it... it's in parens in a block of text.

thoughts?

first bullet of the second paragraph

discrepancies between applications

as a general rule, where there are minor discrepancies (same meaning... slightly different language, difference in suggested word count, etc) between the applications (same question ... different grant type) --- I've tried to be consistent.

question 2.2 small / large grant is an example. in this case, I did NOT make the questions consistent.

suggested word count on 2.3 is a case where I did make them consistent

Planning grant #1.3 question

Question 1.3 – if they click Yes will it remind them to upload in section 4?
