Other Information of the NOFO for instructions to upload this attachment.

· The same individual cannot sign a CIA as both the sector representative and the coalition representative.
· There must be one completed CIA for each sector. Do not provide more than 12 CIAs. American Indian and Alaska Native applicants may include more than 12 CIAs as needed.
· A coalition sector representative must not represent more than one of the 12 sectors. Choose the individual who best represents each of the 12 sectors.

· CIAs must include a rationale describing why the individual is an appropriate choice for coalition sector representative. This rationale can be brief, but should effectively describe why this individual is qualified for this role.
Instructions for Completing the CIA Form As Attachment 1, complete the Sector Table below and include with a completed CIA for each of the identified sector representatives. The sector representatives identified on the Sector Table must match the CIA provided as part of the DFC application.

The Selection Rationale must include the sector affiliation and justify how the individual selected fits the definitions outlined above.
When completing the CIA, remove the italicized language and enter your coalition’s information. The CIA is an agreement between the coalition and the selected sector representatives, the applicant should identify the agreed upon responsibilities for both the coalition and the sector representative. A CIA is required for each sector representative identified in the Sector Table.
If your coalition already has signed and dated agreements with each of the required sectors that are dated between January 2020 and the deadline for this application, these can be used in lieu of the CIA sample format provided in this NOFO.
