Many RFPs are rather poorly written and require multiple reads to digest all of the important information. Sometimes, no matter how many times you read it, a part of the instructions may still not make sense. Chances are, if you’re confused, so is somebody else. Check the procurement’s FAQs online. If you don’t see an answer to your question, submit one. Keep checking those FAQs as this is the only way funders can legally distribute new information to all potential applicants once the RFP has been issued.
