Iowa Admin. Code r. 571-33.4

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 11, December 11, 2024

Rule 571-33.4 - Grant applications, general procedures

(1) Applications for all grant programs shall be made on forms provided by the department.

(2) Applications shall provide sufficient detail as to clearly describe the scope of the project. Any application that is not complete at the time of project review and scoring, or for which additional pertinent information has been requested and not received, shall not be considered for funding.

(3) Application deadlines are the same for county, city, and private open space grant programs. Applications will be reviewed and projects selected for funding at least once per year. The department shall publish on its website the date and time for submitting a funding proposal, providing at least 90 days' notice. Applications must be submitted to the department as described on the website.

(4) Joint applications are permitted. One entity must serve as the primary applicant. Joint projects sponsored by entities competing for funds from different REAP accounts (e.g., a joint city/county project) are allowable. Applications must clearly spell out the respective shares of project costs to be derived from various REAP accounts if the project is approved for funding. Any cooperative agreement between joint applicants must be provided as a part of the application.

(5) Applicants shall not use other department grants, such as land and water conservation fund or wildlife habitat promotion with local entities, as leveraged funds for a project requesting REAP funds. Likewise, REAP funds shall not be used as matching funds for applications to other grants.
