Reviewer 2059 - Grant Applicant - applied in 2023

I would read about the organization first, ask around and see what information others also have and then read the critiria. It helped me decide if this was something I wanted to put time to. Time is precioius and we simply do not have enough of it these days. In the end I thought it was worth it and I thought the learning could enhance my work with my youth.
