What is a UEI?
UEI stands for Unique Entity Identifier. To do any sort of business with a government entity, you have to register your business or organization in the System for Award Management (SAM) and renew every year. When you register with SAM you get an UEI, and it is free to get one. You must have a UEI and be fully registered in Sam.gov before submitting your application (you cannot just have a UEI assigned, it needs to be an “active registration”). If you do not have one, your application will not be considered.
If your organization does not already have an UEI, apply with SAM so one can be assigned to you.
What is the budget limit?
The total annual award amount is $220,000. This amount is the combination of the award amount for each of the three services listed. All services listed in the application have award amounts stated. If you apply for one specific service, or two specific services, you will only have the potential to be awarded the total of that one (or two) award amounts. You will not be given the total award amount stated above unless you apply for all three services.
Can I request indirect costs in my budget?
As we understand there are costs associated with administration of funding along with project implementation, we allow for a 10% rate of the direct costs for “Grant Implementation, Reporting, and Invoicing”.
I submitted my application. When will I be notified that I moved to the next round of review?
If your application is selected for the next round of reviews, you will be notified by the end of the first week of April. If selected, this will give you enough time to prepare a presentation for the next round of review. A template will be provided when you are notified that application is moving to the next round. If your application is not selected to move on to the next round, you will also be notified by the end of the first week of April.
