October - January	WGFD opens a three-month solicitation period for new landowner proposals which closes at the end of the year. Grant proposals, compliance documentation, work plans, and all associated proposal documentation are reviewed by the WGFD fiscal LIP coordinator for completeness. Proposals are forwarded first to the respective WGFD region for review and then to the LIP Award committee.
January - March	Review committee begins a 60-day review period of all landowner proposals where each proposal is ranked.
March	Final ranked proposals are reviewed by the WGFD budget committee.
April	Approved proposals are taken to the WGFD commission meeting for final approval.
May - July	Biologists will meet with successful landowners, finalize paperwork, and ensure that compliance documentation is in order. WGFD general accounting will review and submit a grant amendment including all successful proposals, compliance documentation, and additional paperwork to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) for approval. Once the FWS approves the project, landowners and WGFD will sign the grant agreement.
July - July	Implementation of projects will begin each July 1 throughout the grant period. Species and habitat monitoring will be conducted annually; including pre- and post-treatment the first year, with annual inspections completed thereafter or at periods specified within the LIP Grant Agreement.
