Version History
| Version | Modification Description | Updated Date |
|---|---|---|
| The text of Funding Opportunity Announcement FOA-ETA-16-11 is inconsistent as it applies to the requirement that a consortium of Community-based Organizations applying for grant funding must provide a Consortium Agreement with the application package. Though Section III.C.1 and Section IV.B.4 of the FOA require a consortium applicant to provide a copy of the consortium agreement in order for their application to be deemed responsive, the consortium agreement was inadvertently omitted from the applicant checklist provided in Section III.C.1 of the FOA. In light of this discrepancy, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) will not deem a consortium applicant as non-responsive should this agreement not be included in the application. In this case, ETA will request that the Consortium Agreement be provided by the applicant prior to grant award, or as a term and condition of the grant award. | May 06, 2016 | |
