Project Steps

The Project Steps Section contains two segments: 1) steps the project team will take to stimulate or assist producers in accomplishing the proposed risk management outcomes (What Project Team Does) and 2) the steps producers will take toward achieving those outcomes (What Participants Do). The Project Steps should be the logical progression of the project’s plan of work that will lead your target audience to achieve proposed outcomes.

What Project Team Does

Describe the steps that your project team and collaborators will take in designing and delivering the proposed project. This might include activities that involve the development of program curriculum, conducting of workshops, designing assessment tools, administering follow up surveys, providing technical assistance, etc.

What Participants Do

Describe specific steps that your target audience will need to take to achieve the proposed outcomes. This might include attending your workshops, completing homework assignments, contacting project team with questions, etc.

“Estimated Number” refers to the number of producers you anticipate will complete the step(s) that will help them achieve the risk management outcomes that you have proposed. Some project steps will not have a corresponding number of producers, such as curriculum development. For these type of project steps, the number of participants can be left blank.

Enter the anticipated date by which each project step will be completed in the “Projected completion date” box. Enter a date or use the calendar button to select a date.

The Project Steps section of the Application will help the Review Panel assess whether you have a good grasp of what needs to happen by your team and target audience on a step-by-step basis, leading the audience to achieve the proposed risk management outcomes.
