For the 2015-2016 MSA Grant cycle, we are proposing changes to the grant rating criteria in an attempt to simplify the application process and clarify the criteria. In summary, our proposed changes would:
a) Remove redundant criteria by including them in either the pre-application or the full application, but not in both.
b) Carry pre-application scores over to the full application; final scores would combine scores on pre- and full-application criteria. Score modifiers would remain the same as in previous years.
c) Reword criteria to more specifically describe how they will be interpreted in the rating process.
d) Remove the tobacco criterion and replace it as a minimum qualification, as described in Question 1 below.
The questions in this survey ask for input on the proposed changes to the criteria. Please review them here [http://www.countyofnapa.org/HHS/TobaccoMSA] and tell us what you think. (Please copy the link and paste into a new tab in your browser, then click the link to view the proposed criteria.)
