How Will Project Proposals be Reviewed and Selected?
Tribal project proposals will be reviewed and approved for validity and completeness by each respective region and then forwarded, along with regional comments, to an EPA Headquarters, Office of Pesticide Programs review panel. The team will consult with regional staff regarding their comments as necessary. If there is money left over after the selection process is completed, the review team will discuss and determine the allocation of the money. Selections will be made by close of business April 30, 2003. EPA reserves the right to reject all applications or initial/final proposals and make no awards. All costs charged to these awards must be allowable under OMB circular A87. B. How will Applicants be Notified? Regions will notify their respective applicants of the selections. Those applicants not awarded funds may request an explanation for the lack of award from EPA regional staff.
