Maoin Ath-bheothachadh Coimhearsnachd – Measadh Iarrtasan

There is circulated Report No. CIA/12/23 dated 14 March 2023 by the Depute Chief Executive.

The Committee is invited to:-

i.  consider all applications presented for funding and agree whether to approve, defer or reject the application.  An approval of funding should detail the amount approved and outline any conditions of funding that Members wish to attach to the approval over and above the required technical conditions.  A deferral would allow an applicant to resubmit the current application at a future date with updated information or for the project to be approved subject to further funding becoming available.  A rejection would mean that the application will not proceed and any future application to the fund should be brought forward initially as a new expression of interest; and
ii. agree which applications should receive a funding award from CRF up to the value of the available area allocation.
