Can we get extensions for our regular STOP grant if we focus on spending down the stimulus package first (the regular STOP award is generally for two years)?
The purpose of the Recovery Act STOP awards is to provide additional STOP funding for States, not to replace or delay regular fiscal year funding. We encourage States to begin planning to expand their STOP activities and subgrants. That being said, OVW recognizes that resources may need to be shifted from regular STOP activities to STOP Recovery Act activities and we will consider reasonable requests to extend prior awards.
