| 2025-01-08 09:28:34 – Barbara Long (Modification Comments) To provide more clarity on the NOFO, please see the below information: • What is the permitted period of performance for SOIs? – 18-36 months • Will DRL consider SOIs for programs less than the identified funding floor of $500,000? – DRL is not able to consider funding for proposed programs amounting to less than $500,000. However, DRL will consider joint applications by groups applying as a consortium where their respective subawards are for less than $500,000. However, for these SOIs to be considered, a single lead applicant who will assume overall liability for the full program amount of at least $500,000 must be identified. • Applicants may submit a total of two SOIs in response to this RSOI under any theme, but the proposed programs and activities in each SOI must be unique and distinct. |
