Deadlines and process...
Deadlines
Notices of intent to apply for a grant are due by October 1 of every odd-numbered year. Designation decisions are made by March 1 of the following even-numbered year. Submission of the Comprehensive Services Plan generally occurs in mid-March or April, after designated grantees have been notified of their approximate allocation amount.
Note:
When available, this section indicates the deadlines for applications to the funding agency which will
be stated in terms of the date(s) or between what dates the application should be received.
When not available, applicants should contact the funding agency for deadline information.
Range of Approval/Disapproval Time
From 30 to 90 days.
Preapplication Coordination
The standard application forms (SF- 424) as furnished by the Federal agency must be used for this program. This program is excluded from coverage under E.O. 12372.
Note:
This section indicates whether any prior coordination or approval is required with governmental or nongovernmental units
prior to the submission of a formal application to the federal funding agency.
Appeals
Applicants will be notified of approval or disapproval of the Comprehensive Annual Plan and if disapproved, given a reasonable time to make adjustments and resubmit the Plan. Final disapproval of an application or plan submitted by a designated grantee will not be made without affording the grantee an opportunity for reconsideration.
Note:
In some cases, there are no provisions for appeal. Where applicable, this section discusses appeal procedures or allowable rework time for resubmission
of applications to be processed by the funding agency. Appeal procedures vary with individual programs and are either listed in this section or
applicants are referred to appeal procedures documented in the relevant Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
Renewals
Grant awards may be renewed annually, while designation as a grantee applies for 2 years.
Note:
In some instances, renewal procedures may be the same as for the application procedure, e.g., for projects of a non-continuing nature renewals will be treated as new, competing applications; for projects of an ongoing nature, renewals may be given annually.
