| Questions submitted and Answered Jan.5 2011. 1. On page 1 of the Budget Information – Non-Construction Programs page, Section A Budget Summary, the (a) column asks for Grant Program Function or Activity and asks for a Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number (column (b)) for each of those activities. Does that mean that this one page could be used for several different grant applications at the same time? or should that number (column (b)) be the same for each activity included in the one grant application? The CFDA number is 15.530, each application should have this page with it. 2. Columns (c) and (d) under Estimated Unobligated Funds–are these the budgeted amounts without the requested grant (which would presumably total a deficit on line 5)? And are the New or Revised Budget (columns (e) and (f)) the budget of the project if the grant were to be received? Unobligated funds do not apply to new grant applications. New Budget is the budget for your project, if we ask you to revise it after the evaluation, you would use this form and mark it revised. 3. Under Section C – Non-Federal Resources, are lines 8-11 for cooperating partners whose contributions will make up part of the required 50% match? Yes. As I have studied the Grant I started with (15.530 Water Conservation Field Services Program), I have noticed 2 or 3 different due dates and have concluded that there are 2 or 3 different USBOR grants available–one due January 31, one due February 11, and possibly one other. Is there a simple source for determining which of these I should be working on and what the difference is between them? Most likely they are for different regions, ours is the Upper Colorado Region, due Jan 31, 2011. |
