Welcome to the BEST Grant Application self-paced training. This course includes an overview of BEST, and a walkthrough of the grant application process. This is provided in the form of self-paced tutorials explaining the various aspects of the program and application. Please feel free to attend each or use the below sections as a menu for refreshing your knowledge of the BEST Grant. For returning applicants, we recommend the Recent Changes segment as well as the GAINS walkthrough, once available.

This training is updated annually where changes have been made, just prior to the launch of the next grant round.

As always, if you have any additional questions, please contact us!

* indicates training sections updated December of 2025 for the 26-27 grant round, otherwise content is substantially identical to prior grant rounds
