Editorial analysis

What the funder is trying to accomplish

The program aims to establish NASP at 12–20 new schools each fiscal year by providing a starter archery equipment kit so schools can begin the program in PE classes. It is limited to schools that are not already affiliated with NASP.

Editorial analysis

Strong-fit project signals

The school is a California K–12 educational institution and is not already affiliated with NASP. A proposed Archery Instructor is identified and can provide the required Grant Criterion letter addressing NASP’s integration into the curriculum and its potential student impact. The school has a practical plan to incorporate NASP into PE classes, the setting identified for starting the program. All proposed NASP instructors can complete the free national training after award and before the school begins teaching NASP curriculum. The school can receive and use the specified starter kit, which includes bows, targets, an arrow-resistant net, bow racks, arrows, and a maintenance kit.

Editorial analysis

What reviewers may prioritize

The evidence packet provides no formal scoring criteria or reviewer priorities. It is reasonable to infer that the required Grant Criterion will be central: it must explain how NASP will be integrated into the curriculum and its potential student impact. Eligibility as a new NASP-affiliated school and ability to complete training are confirmed program requirements, but the packet does not establish their relative scoring weight.

Source-backed synopsis

What this grant funds

The CalNASP grant is awarded to 12-20 new schools each fiscal year. (July 1-June 30). The grant pays for a starter archery equipment kit so new schools can start the program in their PE classes. The kit includes: Twelve Genesis compound bows, five bulls-eye targets, one arrow-resistant net, one or two bow racks, five dozen arrows and an equipment maintenance kit. To be awarded the grant, schools cannot already be affiliated with NASP. They must fill out the grant application and submit a Grant Criterion. A Grant Criterion is a letter from the school's proposed Archery Instructor detailing how NASP will be integrated into their curriculum and the potential impact it will have on students. Grant applications and Criterion must be submitted by 7/30 each year. Grant awardees will be announced by 9/15, with equipment being purchased and distributed by 12/15. After grant awardees are announced, awarding schools must have all proposed NASP instructors complete NASP national training (provided for free up and down California). Once a school has a trained instructor and their equipment kit, the school can start teaching NASP curriculum.
