Sample Answer
When a local clinic pulled out of our mobile vaccination pilot six months in, I paused to map immediate risks to the grant’s 9-month timeline and $150,000 budget. I called the clinic lead within 24 hours to understand concerns, then convened a 5-person response team (funding officer, legal, community liaison, program coordinator). We redistributed clinic tasks across three smaller partners, negotiated a one-month deadline extension with the funder by sharing a revised timeline and mitigation plan, and secured a temporary contract with a community health worker network that added 300 patient contacts. We kept affected residents informed via weekly updates and a town-hall that 120 people attended. We delivered the core deliverable on time and kept community trust intact.
