14	What happens after your project has been submitted? After we receive your application, we review for completeness and grade each project based on our PROGRAM EVALUATION CRITERIA
15	You will be notified whether or not your project scored well in this preliminary review. If necessary, you will be given time to provide documents that are needed to complete your application.
16	Once we receive all the information we need, the completed project applications move forward for review by SPARC (State Parks And Recreation Commission). If we do not have all of your information in time for the SPARC review, your project will not be eligible for the current year. SPARC approval completes the STATE REVIEW portion of the process.
17	Next, we’ll prepare your project folder for the National Park Service review. Once your project is approved, a project number will be assigned
18	When you have received notification of approval at the STATE level, your application is then moved to the My Projects folder. You will have ‘read only access’ at this point, so any additional documents you’d like to submit will need to be sent via email and we will upload to the system for you. We will send you a state contract package to sign & return.
