Grantee Question
Priority Funding Provision
QUESTION: On Pg. 18 of the FOA under “Funding
Consideration” how do we know if we qualify when
we don’t know what our FY 14 Award is?
RESPONSE: We will notify those grantees that are
eligible for priority funding in the next few weeks
but well ahead of the Part B Supplemental
application deadline.
33
Grantee Question
Eligibility
QUESTION: Need clarification on the "5% fund
cancellation" ineligibility. Does that include a state
grantee that is deobligated for not meeting the
75% obligation of award within 120 days after
receipt?
34
Grantee Question
RESPONSE: This is referring to the UOB penalty. If a
State/Territory has UOB of their formula award which
exceeds five percent, two penalties are imposed:
1. Future year award is reduced by amount of
UOB less the amount of approved carryover; and
2. The grantee is not eligible for a future year
supplemental award
35
Grantee Question
QUESTION: The Project Abstract instructions
for the Supplemental FOA are the same as
the Formula FOA.
1. Are they really supposed to be the same?
2. Does HRSA want the identical project
abstract as what was submitted with the
formula award?
36
Grantee Question
RESPONSE:
1. Yes. The instructions for the Project Abstract are
outlined in Section 4.1 of HRSA’s SF-424 Application
Guide. The application guide applies to all HRSA
Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOA).
2. No. The Project Abstract you submit with this FOA
should be a summary of your Part B Supplemental
application.
