CDE Process for Submitting RFA Questions

In order to ensure that all applicants have access to the same information about application requirements, and for purposes of quality assurance, all requests for clarification of the RFA content will only be accepted in writing from the applicant. The CDE will respond to questions in writing to the person initiating the question once the response has been posted to the RFA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document located on the CDE website. This process will allow everyone access to the same information regarding RFA content, the application, and the award process. It will also ensure consistency in CDE’s responses to questions from the field. 

The link to submit a question and to view the RFA FAQ document is on the CDE website at: http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/ba/cp/funding.asp .
