Task 4: Establish Goals, Objectives, Activities and Timelines

Guideline: The grant proposal defines the program's goals, objectives, work activities and timelines. The goals represent a desired state of anticipated outcomes. The objectives identify specific desired changes with a measurable result. The activities represent the tasks involved with accomplishing each objective. The timeline tells when things will happen. Together, they form the grant seeker's road map for what they intend to do and serve as the basis for evaluating whether they have accomplished what they set out to achieve.
