The two most important tools for grant writers are the ALC Logic Model and the NREPP Program Summary. Please download a copy of the logic model and place it in your grant, along with an explanation of the steps it shows in the text of your grant.

You can also quote directly from the NREPP Program Summary when describing the ALC. Please download the PDF of the NREPP program summary, and if space permits, attach it as an appendix to your grant proposal.

All the articles in this section should also help you better conceptualize how to write about the ALC in your proposal. And remember, you can always contact Dr. DeBenedittis if you have questions.
