SUMMARY: The Employment and Training Administration announced on December 14, 2020, the availability of funds and the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) FOA-ETA-20-08-A for NFJP Career Services and Training Grants Reopening for Select Service Areas.

This amendment to the FOA revises language in Section IV.B.3 Project Narrative and Section III.D.3. Eligible Participants.

The document is hereby amended as follows:

SECTION IV.B.3 Project Narrative

The following language is added to the beginning of Section IV.B.3:

The Project Narrative must demonstrate your capability to implement the grant project in accordance with the provisions of this Announcement. It provides a comprehensive framework and description of all aspects of the proposed project. It must be succinct, self-explanatory, and well organized so that reviewers can understand the proposed project.

The Project Narrative is limited to 30 double-spaced single-sided 8.5 x 11 inch pages with Times New Roman 12 point text font and 1-inch margins. You must number the Project Narrative beginning with page number 1. We will not read or consider any materials beyond the specified page limit in the application review process. The following instructions provide all of the information needed to complete the Project Narrative.

Carefully read and consider each section, and include all required information in your Project Narrative. The agency will evaluate the Project Narrative using the evaluation criteria identified in Section V.A. You must use the same section headers identified below for each section of the Project Narrative:

SECTION III.D.3. Eligible Participants

Section III.D.3.c(2) is amended by striking the last two paragraphs beginning with “Please note that TEGL 18-16 and TEGL 2-14…” and replacing them with the text below:

Please note that TEGL 18-16 and TEGL 2-14 specify DOL policy regarding NFJP eligibility for individuals granted relief under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). In those guidance documents, DOL noted that an individual who has been granted relief under DACA and has employment authorization documents may be eligible to receive NFJP services (provided that the individual meets all other program eligibility requirements). NFJP grantees must continue to follow existing DOL policy in TEGL 18-16 and TEGL 2-14 and any updated guidance DOL releases on these individuals’ eligibility for DOL-funded programs. For further information about eligibility for DACA, please review the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website.
