VBA asks whether it may use appropriated funds to pay for incentives in the form of refreshments or light meals to increase participation in and the effectiveness of focus groups.
VBA notes that because many potential focus group participants work during the day, the time when VBA has the best chance of assembling a representative group is in the early evening, which is, of course, the time of day when most people usually eat dinner.
