Round of Disappointment

[rfcmitch]

Now I wonder... for 3 years my department has applied... for 3 years my department has been denied! So one starts to wonder why?

Do you guys think it has anything to do with us having 3 departments within 7 miles of each other?

Or maybe they just dont like us.

But then this point gets raised at our hall...

There is a department near-by that has one the grant this year. They already have more money than they know what to do with and they win? It has happened repeatedly. So I havent filled out the application or anything but does it ever ask budget? pupils? size? I am just kinda curious, cause atleast in my area, the departments that need it arent getting it.

Your location shouldn't have too much to do with it. Im in much the same situation. There are 3 other stations within 5-6 miles. As its been said here before, its all in the application. We're 2-3 for well over $200K. There is no way we could upgrade as much as we have with that. How about someone from outside your situation reviewing your app? I know there are people here that would be willing to look it over.
