The process is long and arduous. After the submission, it took 3-4 months before we got to know the outcome. So when a friend who is working in the government sector rings to say congrats you've got the money...so what did you put in for? Urr... cant really remember, but I know its something to do with cooking and exercise, let me check to see what I wrote!

$143K for 4 series of 10 workshops around exercise, nutrition and cooking for diabetic and cardiac clients. There's always small grants around, I've written a few for 1-2k but this is the biggest lot of money I've ever recieved.
Needless to say, I'll be doing the cooking and nutrition session. But hey, they'll be no golden taps here... we are truly poor.

Congrats! Sound like a huge achievement!
Wah! Job well done on getting the grant! :)
Well, I guess the govt is very generous around this time of the year but I take my hats off to the people assessing it. Going through 2000+ applications that are at least 20-30 pages each.
P.S. Can I apply for some professional development money from Wyeth ;)
Hey, you never know. Send a letter in to Corporate Affairs. :) Maybe you can work something in about childhood nutrition, seeing we do make S-26. :)
