Applicants who received funding at this past July 2010 in take (and previous in takes in 2010), and who have not yet completed their projects and submitted the required activity and financial reports are not eligible for consideration for this in take.

The number of applications we receive for each in take has increased significantly.  As a result, the dollar amounts we are able to allocate to groups may not be for the entire amount requested given the limited amount we have for each in take.
