This 300+ page reference package provides cut-and-paste content that will save the applicant hundreds of man-hours in researching and writing a grant application to support a WiMAX-based project.
The BTOP Grant Application Support Package enables service providers, municipalities and other grant applicants to quickly and accurately write a technology-detailed, application-specific grant application to fund a WiMAX network in their unserved or underserved market.
At the core of the BTOP Grant Application Support Package is the Template for BTOP Grant Application Business Plan, which is an 85 page template for a business plan to support a Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) grant application.
The Template addresses various focus areas and critical issues such as:
- Eligibility for a grant (ARRA 2009 6001)
- Public Benefits: Access, applications, and affordability for unserved or underserved markets
- Core WiMAX Applications: Support for education, healthcare, EBS spectrum, public safety, video surveillance, security, quality of service, job creation, low-income households, flu pandemic, etc.
- Leading Edge Applications: "smart grid" applications, utilities, school districts, 1:1 computing, VoIP backhaul, etc.
- Financial and Strategy: Cost estimates, financials, expected outcomes, deployment strategy, budgeting, auditing and oversight of the project
- Miscellaneous: Public-private partnerships, market specifics, "greening" the application, why the project could not be done in the time frame of the grant period without federal grant funding, VoIP, backhaul, meeting the build out requirements
Key Benefits:
- Based on the ARRA 2009
- Saves grant writers hundreds of hours in researching the grant program
- Saves grant writers hundreds of hours in identifying applications for broadband technologies to be funded by the program
- Identifies a number of social goals to be accomplished by the grant program and their relationships to broadband technologies
- Identifies applications that will add weight to any application such as 1:1 computing, “greening” the application, telemedicine, “smart grid” applications, etc
