-
How can I find out the status of my Grant Application?
To check the status of a grant application, please go to View
My Grant Applications on this web site and follow the simple
registration instructions. You will then be able to see a listing of your

How long will it take before a decision is reached?

I am experiencing difficulty with the Budget Schedule as several fields are
protected.
You cannot key directly into the Total column, as this is a protected field.
You need to complete the unit price and quantity columns, then the total column
will be automatically populated by the system.
-
What is a Needs Assessment?
A Needs Assessment is conducted to identify gaps in the knowledge of targeted
healthcare professionals. Needs assessments help determine the educational
objectives and program topics. A complete needs assessment typically contains
findings as well as methodology. There are many methods used to prepare a Needs
Assessment which may include the following: an educational gap analysis survey
of the target audience; previous program evaluations where attendees list
topics of future interest; results of focus group discussion; expert opinion
from national or regional Key Opinion Leaders; literature searches; or, target
audience testing.
-
What do you mean by Conflict of Interest resolution policy?
The ACCME Standards for Commercial Support require that all identified conflict
of interest is resolved. Just disclosure of the conflict is not sufficient for
resolution. This applies to everyone involved in the educational program
including speakers and planning committee members.
