RecapLessons Learned

• For 2014-15: Time process for earlier– CoE to modify top 10 sector categories by May– Consortia revisits prioritization during summer– Submission in September

• Effective practice - include LWIBS/EDCs in prioritization

• Never enough resources. Aim to be equitable– Similar funding pool for similar sized macro-regions– Differentiate between Priority vs. Emergent funding– SB 1070 will go away by end of 2015, unless new funds founds

• Grants fund capacity– Long term = annual but potential for 2-5 years– Short term = annual but performed in 1-2 years– Spot = less than 12 months

Open Questions from the Field

• Define “authentic partnership”?• Does similar size mean geographical size and/or populations?• Can you provide the timeline (release submittal) for the RFAs for

Sector Navigators, consortia chairs, and TA provider?• Are timelines for Centers and SB1070 established?• Are priority sectors by region final or is there still time to make a case

for your priority?• LA County has the largest concentration of advanced manufacturers

in the world. Why has the region not identified it as priority?• How is Environmental Technology being defined? I can’t find a

definition on the DoingWhatMatters web site. Can you give me some direction on this?
