Re: Grant Application Scoring Rubric
We go at it a little differently in that the majority of our questions on the LOI are multiple choice and each answer option has a value assigned to it already (assigned by leadership/staff). We pull the data into the scoring template which automatically gives each organization a score per question and a total score so that we can sort and filter from there. And like many have said, this is truly just a starting point and doesn't dictate funding decisions or amounts or anything—it's just a way for us to narrow down our finalist pool where we then connect with the orgs to get more information.
Re: Grant Application Scoring Rubric
Hi @CameronWood,
I realize it's been quite a while since your original post, but I was wondering if you could share your application to see how the questions in it are weighted? Also interested to learn how you built it so that applicants can also see the score/weight of the question.
A lot of our application questions lead to qualitative responses which has made evaluating inconsistent at times and I'd like to implement scoring into the questions to help guide our evaluations.
Thanks so much for your time and for asking these important questions!
