-
Will basin wide PR serve areas without a designated PR for smaller part of the region, or will their service areas overlap?
If the Project RFA will be serving the entire basin, I.e., a basin-wide GLEJGP, this could be delegated within a coalition (if it is a coalition that has applied). Otherwise, the PR organization will be serving the entire basin. If there is a basin-wide PR as well as a smaller…
-
Can the application also include program admin support for various coalition partners outside of the principal recipient?
Yes. Coalitions are allowable. Applicants should reflect related admin-related costs in the budget narrative. Please see Question 2 under this section for additional information.
-
Can EPA give some clarity on the 6-year timeframe and additional potential years of funding as it relates to project timeline(s)? For example, is the timeframe intended to expect multiple years of RFAs released by the prime under the initial application to the EPA, or one RFA with extended time for project completion and reporting?
The design and overall program approach toward the Project RFA should be decided by the applicant. However, all subawards under the Project RFA must be completed and closed out within the 6-year window.
-
Is the grant reimbursement-based or can money be requested up front incrementally?
The cooperative agreement will be funded incrementally and with the award, there will be an initial increment of funding made available. EPA will be looking to the applicants to budget for that. Applicants will estimate funds needed for that first year and will then work with their assigned EPA project…
-
Will the recipient have to front the money to sub recipients? Or how would the initial year of funding be determined?
The cooperative agreement will be funded incrementally, which means that it will be up to the principal recipient to plan for and budget that first year of funding and all additional years if funds are awarded. Please reference EPA General Terms and Conditions #5. If awarded, funds will be disbursed…
-
Will there be a non-federal cost share or match required of grants made by the principal recipient?
No, non-federal cost share is not required. If an applicant proposes voluntary cost share, they should carefully review section III.B on page 21, description of Supporting Materials in section IV.D on page 27, and section V.B.
-
Funding amounts are for the entire project period and not annually, correct?
Yes, that is correct. Funding amounts are for the entire 6-year period and not annual amounts.
-
How do applicants reflect the 6th year of funding on the SF424A form, as there is only room for 5 years?
We realize this is a limitation of the form and expect applicants to provide information to the best of their ability. Applicants should also provide sufficient information in the budget narrative section of their application.
-
Does funding through this grant include municipalities within the Chicago River watershed?
Yes, including the historic Chicago River watershed.
-
Does EPA have a minimum threshold/definition for the Regional scale program? In other words, what does Regional mean or is it open to applicants to determine at any scale?
GLNPO wants to be extremely flexible and encourage PRs to think about which regions they could expect to effectively cover when creating their application. There are no additional criteria from EPA on how big or small the Project RFA should be.
