Before applying
● Map the existing resources in the most common languages of migrant communities in your country.An archive of the materials previously funded by CoPE is available here. Also the i-base (http://i-base.info/) and NAM websites (http://www.aidsmap.com/) are good resources for existing documentation in different languages.
Define the document that you would like to translate
Ask for authorization from the original author for the use of the material. Specify the eventual changes you would like to make to the original (adapting it to the local context).
Make a detailed cost estimate of the cost of production of the publication, including translating, proofreading, design & layout, printing and dissemination. The estimate should be based on actual quotes from different service providers.
Please note that currently the maximum amount that can be awarded for a CoPE grant is 2,800 EUR. Applications requesting lower amounts will be considered favourably in the selection process.
Make a realistic timeline for the production process. Please note that, if accepted, the project should be finalized within 3 months from the signing of the grant agreement. The final grant amount may be decreased in case of delay caused by the grantee. Therefore, make sure you and your collaborators are ready to start working instantaneously if your application is approved.
Draft a dissemination plan. The publication should be widely promoted (locally, regionally and nationally) via different channels.
