Per the Basic Information page of the Notice of Funding Opportunity, the Federal Assistance Listing number is 93.912. However, when completing forms online at Grants.gov, this field auto-populates with 93.690. What is the correct Federal Assistance Listing number for this program?

The correct Federal Assistance Listing number is 93.690. It is listed incorrectly in the NOFO

PDF.

Can you please clarify if the budget ceiling is $100,000 each year, or $100,000 for the entire two-year period of performance?

The funding allocation is $100,000 per year, for a total of $200,000 over the 2 years of the grant. We will fund successful applications at the full ceiling of $100,000 per year, so please budget for this full amount.

Can single organizations (e.g., a “parent” organization or headquarters) apply more than once for this funding opportunity on behalf of its satellite offices or clinics?

More than one application may be submitted under the same UEI if each proposes a distinct project; however, single organizations (e.g., a “parent” organization or headquarters) may not apply more than once for this funding opportunity on behalf of satellite offices or clinics (page 8 of the NOFO.) The affiliated entities may submit their own independently prepared applications, as long as they include attachment 7. Otherwise, only the last application submitted with the same UEIs/EINs will be considered. Each applicant organization must be located in a different rural area and serve a different population. See page 8 of the NOFO for more details.

Where can I find the Technical Assistance (TA) webinar and slides?

The TA Webinar and slides are posted here.

Is it allowable for an individual to participate in multiple RCORP-Planning grant applications?

HRSA does not restrict participation across multiple applications. You may serve on more than one RCORP- Planning application (e.g., as a co-Project Director on one and a https://www.hrsa.gov/grants/find-funding/HRSA-26-036 consultant on another), if needed. However, individuals cannot charge more than 1.0 full-time equivalent (FTE) of effort across all federal awards.

Can an applicant include letters of support from more than two network partners?

Per the NOFO, the requirement is for applicants to provide letters of support from two proposed network partners. You may include any other relevant and optional documents using Attachments 9-15, up to the page limit.

Who should we count as a network partner?

Entities identified as a network partner will need to be able to meet all listed requirements and expectations on page 14 of the NOFO (including full involvement, regular meetings, completing assessment and implementing action plan). At least one of your two network partner letters must be from an organization that is physically located in your target rural service area. As your network grows, 50% of your network must be physically located in your target rural service area.

There is a list of potential partner types listed on page 13 of the NOFO; however, you are not restricted to these examples. In addition to network partners, you may also form relationships with other entities, such as those serving as general advisors or consultants or filling a specific function for your project.
