What commitment of time does USDOL require of an applicants key personnel?
All key personnel must work full-time, and allocate 100 percent of that time to the project and live in the target country. Key personnel positions must not be combined. In addition, to support the information submitted in the key personnel sections of applications, applicants must submit a letter of agreement for each key personnel candidate, signed by the candidate, which indicates their agreement to serve on the project and their availability to commence work within 30 calendar days of the cooperative agreement award. Applicants must submit these letters as an attachment to the application, which will not count toward the page limit. If key personnel letters of agreement are not submitted as part of the application, the application will be considered non-responsive and will be rejected.
