- Grants should concentrate on three four areas
- Research
- Plant Construction
- Salaries of AguaClara Engineers Abroad
- These salaries can be included in the plant cost
** Design Work
- These salaries can be included in the plant cost
- Change your language in the grant according to which goal you are concentrating on.
- If it is a Research grant, then the language should be more technical in nature as you can expect the funders to have more knowledge about the subject.
- If the grant is for Plant Construction plant construction, then try to make it less technical and mention more of the direct benefits provided by each AguaClara plant.
- Be sure to quantify your findings when ever possible (i.e. The AguaClara Plants are designed to reduce water turbidity to less than 1 NTU.)
Panel 1NTU is our (slightly distant) goal, but currently we are only meeting 5NTU, which is the PAHO standard
- REMEMBER TO HAVE YOUR GRANT PROOFREAD BY SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE IN THE TECHNICAL ASPECT OF THE WRITING AS WELL AS BY INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HAVE A TALENT FOR LANGUAGE. Also make sure that all grants are passed to Monroe for a final read-through. He has to submit grants personally through Cornell's system first!
