Once a grant application has been submitted, the board of directors and executives will review all applications and begin to decide which project(s) is most deserving of SAAFER funding. Ideally, we’d like to find ideas and research with big intentions, big hopes, and little funding. Currently, many promising research projects are being conducted and receiving substantial grants from the government. In an attempt to fund those projects not already receiving large government grants, we will weigh a project’s current funding with its goals and determine how effectively and immediately the public will benefit from the project.
