039-7 Wyo. Code R. § 7-1
The Board shall review, evaluate, rank and prioritize applications for grants. The evaluation process shall include a pre-application screening of all applications. That screening shall consist of a preliminary review of all grant applications for compliance with the Wyoming Wildlife and Natural Resource Funding Act and for adherence to the criteria for grants established by the Board. The Board shall, at its sole discretion, determine which grants should move beyond the pre-application screening.
For those applicants selected to move beyond the pre-application process, such applicants must allow for a site visit by Board members, staff, or other qualified evaluators as may be designated by the Board.
The Board shall rank and approve or reject final grant applications based on the overall purposes of the Act. Large project grant applications approved by the Board will be forwarded to the Select Committee for its review and recommendation.
In reviewing, evaluating and ranking final applications, the Board shall:
a) place an emphasis on those projects that are partnerships involving private and public entities;
b) consider the effects of the project on citizen access to public lands for hunting, fishing and recreational activities; and
c) consider the socioeconomic impacts of the grant proposal on the affected community.
