What is the project work plan summary?

Do we need to attach an additional project work plan summary for each grant objective? In the past, work plans were completed in a table format.

Hello,

Great question,

The 'work plan summary' in GeMS is actually a copy of all that you have entered under work plan goals and objectives under the View, Edit and Complete Forms link. You will not need to create a project work plan table as in the past.

I may be answering WAY more than what is needed here but think this info will be helpful for anyone with questions around the work plan.

So.... for instance, in completing the work plan portion of the application let's say you have 2 goals with 2 objectives under each goal.

You would enter the name and description for Goal One- save Goal One and then create Goal Two (you can also come back and create another Goal later).

When opening the Objective section of GeMS you would select which Goal (drop down) that the objective you are preparing to enter would be a part of or 'go under'.

Next, enter the narrative and all fields for that objective and save. You would then need to add the next objective under Goal One and repeat the process with Goal Two and both objectives that pertain to that goal.

The summary does contain everything that was previously inlcuded in the table- just in a different format.

I hope this answers your question!
