Project Review Meetings
EWG will host virtual project review meetings for project sponsors. The review meetings provide an opportunity for project sponsors to meet with EWG staff to discuss various components of the proposed project, including project concepts, eligibility, project schedule, etc. Sponsors will be able to sign up for a 30-minute time slot, from 9:00 a.m. – 12:10 p.m., on the following days: January 5, 2024, January 12, 2024, January 19, 2024 and January 26, 2024. These meetings are intended for project sponsors that have at the very least a specific project concept to present for review. Sponsors are required to submit a Project Review Meetings Information Form or draft application before the meeting so the panelists can gain some knowledge of the projects they will be reviewing. Each sponsor may bring no more than two projects to discuss in a half-hour time slot. Attendance at these meetings is encouraged, but not required to submit a project application. Registration for the project review meetings is full. If you would like to discuss your project with EWG staff, please email staff at stps@ewgateway.org.
