== Hey Guys - I've taken the link for our Grant off line for a few hours to try to get all of the pieces to flow together. I'll get it loaded back up by late this evening or tomorrow morning. If you need access to it for any reason, please don't hesitate to call me 270-791-0235. == ==So I set today aside to do grad work, forgetting that the systems would be down. Could they have picked a worse time?!?! Anyway, call me if I can be of any assistance with the grant-610-392-3526. I'll be home all day. ~Nicole== =(u03a1) Grant Writing - Rubric = Students will collaborate in the writing of a technology grant.

Here is the 10 page edit. I have compacted what was there but did not change anything vital.
Here are Terri's comments: Hey Catherine, I’m looking over it right now and I REALLY appreciate your work on condensing. I’m looking over it now with Nicole’s and Julie’s suggestions in mind too. I think you’re right about possibly only needing a little tweaking! AND I SO APPRECIATE the fact I was lucky enough to have an English teacher on my team to look over this draft! I’ll let you know something within the hour. Thanks again I know this editing was time consuming

Nicole's Comments: I just looked over the grant and I think it looks great. I actually think we can submit the above attachment as our final copy, unless anyone else has any further changes. If there are any other changes, we should probably repost the final copy on here so everyone has access to it with the system down. I did not insert any further comments on the above copy; I just made minor changes here and there. Thanks for condensing it Catherine!
