Your good practice guides will supplement the resources on this topic that are already available on their website.<br />
 
If you are interested in this topic, you may also be interested in the D’Art report, <a href="http://www.ifacca.org/topic/grant-assessment-timeframes/" title="Grant Assessment Time-frames">Grant Assessment Time-frames</a>, which analyses the length of time it takes for arts funding agencies to complete a grants giving process, from application closing date (or receipt of applications) through to notifying applicants of results.<br />
