CAH does not accept mailed, emailed, or hand-delivered copies of grant applications and/or the required attachments. CAH will accept reasonable accommodation requests from applicants with disabilities to submit grant applications via mail, email, or hand-delivery. To request a reasonable accommodation, contact [email protected] and await request approval.
CAH’s grant application process is competitive and subject to the availability of funds.
Applicants are fully responsible for the content of their application materials. An automated confirmation of an applicant’s submission does not guarantee an applicant’s eligibility and therefore review by the advisory review panel. CAH staff are not permitted to make corrections to applications on behalf of applicants. After the deadline CAH staff reviews applications for completeness and contacts applicants within five (5) business days of the deadline. Applicants are then responsible for updating their application within five (5) business days of CAH’s notification. Failure to do so will disqualify the application.
