Common Grant Application

Coalition led by John Mohr @ MacArthur is designing a CGA. Each effort like this is a chance to integrate public data hooks into a broad network of grant pipelines, at the proposal stage. [w/o having to ask each grantor in turn for a private data collaboration]

Update w/ specific data schemas all are encouraged to make public; and the mechanism for noting willingness to share.
