Dear Skyprancers,

Thank you for your inquiry.  We do not have a work plan template, but encourage you to refer to sections 4.5 and 5.2 in the Round 8 Guidelines for more information on its development, as well as the information within the Performance Framework, as you mention in your email.

In your development of this document, please keep in mind the following points:

1.      The work plan should have detailed, quarterly information for years 1 and 2.

2.      The work plan should show the anticipated start and end dates for all activities over the initial two years, set out like the description in s.4.5.1. of the Proposal Form (i.e., by objective, SDA, and specific activities).

3.      The work plan should also use the same or similar numbering as in the detailed budget (s.5.2.) to enable a review of both documents together.

4.      In the work plan, the TRP is looking to see that applicants have a clear understanding of when work must start to ensure timely service delivery. This work plan does not replace the need to provide a detailed written narrative of activities in s.4.5.1.

5.      Applicants may use one integrated Work Plan and Budget spreadsheet, but if so, activities that have no cost associated with them should also be very clearly listed as part of the work to be undertaken so that there is a clear description of all activities and their timing.

We trust you will find this information helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us with further inquiries.

Sincerely,

Country Proposals
