- The funded program period and expected utilization are realistic.
Distribution
- Staff know where and how eyewear will be offered.
- Reader powers are organized clearly when readers are included.
- Storage and transportation are practical for outreach sites.
Inventory and reporting
- Starting inventory is documented.
- Frames distributed and inventory remaining are tracked.
