Does all the funding to come from partners have to be locked down at the time of proposal submittal?
Response: A project sponsor should be reasonably certain of the availability of partner funds counted as leveraging when the Project Evaluation Team reviews the proposal. If the anticipated funding is not subsequently available to help fund the project and this funding was counted in evaluating the proposal in competition with other proposals, the sponsor risks forfeiting the grant depending how influential this criteria was in determining the competitive score of this particular project, and depending on the reason the funding is not subsequently available.
