The initial focus was to make a start: to act quickly and, in doing so, provide the sector with a return on the amount of time and energy it had so willingly invested in the EFF process. The process that was used was a grant application-based process with decisions overseen by a funding panel called the Network of Networks, consisting of members from the different networks. Through the process up to £10,000 was available and decisions were carried out over 3 days and roughly £120k was deployed over this time. 7 grants went to networks and 16 grants went to projects.
