. . . Using the Form The SRTS Grant Application is meant to be deployed electronically. It can be accessed on the Minnesota SRTS Website, or on CD or in hardcopy by request. The SRTS Grant Application is a structured MS Word form that allows the user to input information into form fields. The applicant obtains the Grant Application Instruction Package, and the Grant Application Worksheet from SRTS website or on disk by request. The Grant Application Worksheet should be renamed and saved locally, completed as directed, and e-mailed back to the SRTS Coordinator Kristie.Billiar@dot.state.mn.us. Where possible, subsequent documentation (maps, images, photos) should also be sent as attachments to the e-mail. The sections to be completed and the amount of additional documentation are dependent on the overall breadth and scope of the project. A printer-friendly version of the Grant Application Worksheet is available, although the electronic version is preferred. All applications must be received by 4:30 PM COT July 6, 2006. Any applications or supporting materials received after the deadline will be automatically disqualified. Multi~School Applications: It is permissible to apply for 1 grant to cover several schools. However, if it is an infrastructure grant the schools must be in close proximity of one another. This means that the schools must share or have adjacent campuses, neighborhoods, or blacks. Non-Infrastructure projects do not have a proximity requirement; however, they should have similar student demographics. The remainder of this document consists of the sections to be completed by the applicant, in addition to the worksheet. Fallowing the sections are appendixes intended to clarify the process. As stated above, it's preferable that the completed sections, and the worksheet be e-mailed electronically back to the SRTS coordinator.
