The pre-grant conversation with the Program Officer is beyond helpful in adjusting and fine-tuning your request. They know what the key points to the grant review are and will let you know what areas the proposal needs to highlight in order for it to get it's best review.

Definitely schedule a "Discovery Call" with a Next50 staff person, They offer many appointment times and it is easy to sign up. Regardless of your level of experience as a grant writer, I think the call is valuable and time well spent.

I would recommend doing the Discovery Call to ensure all your questions are answered in advance. NFI is so organized and easy to work with!
