Hi all,
When determining what to apply for in a grant, a risk assessment should be performed. The risk assessment should identify areas in a department's capabilities that need improvement, and grant funds should be put towards meeting needs in those areas. However, if a department is lacking in more than one type of equipment for the same overall deficiency, does it hurt to ask for more than one type of equipment in the same grant? For example, let's say a department identifies interior firefighting as a risk area due to deficiencies in turnout gear, SCBA, and radios. Will applying for funding to purchase all three decrease awards chances due to the "laundry list" that is being requested? Should you try to improve one deficiency per year, or go ahead and make the jump to get the entire problem fixed all at once? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Andy
