• Defer action on the application for 

such reasons as lack of funds or a need 

for further review. 

H. Withdrawal of Application: 

Applicants may withdraw a VLGP 

application submitted through 

Grants.gov by writing the VA point of 

contact specified in this NOFA within 

15 days to request withdrawal with a 

rationale for the request. 

VI. Award Administration Information 

A. Selection for Funding: VA will 

utilize the ranked scores of applications 

as the primary basis for selection, 

ultimately made by the delegated 

official who may factor in the risk 

assessment and clarifying information 

provided by the applicant. 

B. Award Notice: Although subject to 

change, the VLGP Office expects to 

announce grant awards in the 4th 

quarter of FY 2022. Awards will be for 

12 months. The initial announcement 

will be made via news release which 

will be posted on VA’s VLGP website at: 

https://www.cem.va.gov/legacy/ 

grants.asp. Following the initial 

announcement and after the application 

deadline, the VLGP Office will send 

notification letters to the grant 

recipients. Applicants who are not 

selected will be sent a declination letter. 

C. Grant Agreements: After an 

applicant is approved for award, VA 

will draft a grant agreement to be 

executed by VA and the grantee. Upon 

execution of the grant agreement, VA 

will obligate the grant amount. Grantees 

will be subject to requirements of this 

NOFA, the VLGP regulations (38 CFR 

38.710–38.785), other Federal grant 

requirements under 2 CFR part 200 and 

the grantee’s VLGP application. A full 

copy of the regulations governing the 

VLGP is available at the VLGP website 

at: https://www.cem.va.gov/legacy/ 

grants.asp. 

D. Administrative and National 

Policy: VA places great emphasis on 

responsibility and accountability. VA 

has procedures in place to monitor grant 

programs and outcomes associated with 

the services provided under the VLGP. 

E. Payment: Grant awards will be paid 

in a method that is in accordance with 

VA and other Federal fiscal 

requirements. Funds will be disbursed 

on initial obligation and halfway 

through the grant period (i.e., for 1st 6 

months and then for the 2nd 6 months). 

Awardees will be required to support 

their request for funding based on the 

project budget. 

F. Reporting: 1. Annual report: All 

grantees must submit to VA, not later 

than 60 days after the last day of the 

grant period, a final report. The final 

report must include: a program 

evaluation, proof of meeting VA 

objectives as outlined in the mission of 

the VLGP and a summary of the 

effectiveness of the completed proposal. 

The grantee must be open to a possible 

site visit and external evaluation to be 

considered for future funding. 

2. Additional reporting: VA may 

request additional information, records 

and reports to allow VA to assess 

program effectiveness. 

G. Recovery of funds: VA may recover 

from the grantee any funds that are not 

used in accordance with the grant 

agreement. If VA decides to recover 

funds, VA will issue to the grantee a 

notice of intent to recover grant funds, 

and the grantee will then have 30 days 

to submit documentation demonstrating 

why the grant funds should not be 

recovered. After review of all submitted 

documentation, VA will determine 

whether action will be taken to recover 

the grant funds. When VA decides to 

recover grant funds from the grantee, 

VA will stop further payments of grant 

funds until the grant funds are 

recovered and the condition that led to 

the decision to recover grant funds has 

been resolved. 

H. Financial Management: The 

grantee shall conform to the Single 

Audit Act Amendments of 1996, as 

implemented by 2 CFR part 200. All 

grantees must use a financial 

management system that complies with 

2 CFR part 200. Grantees must meet the 

applicable requirements of OMB’s 

regulations on Cost Principles at 2 CFR 

part 200. 

I. Availability of Grant Funds: Federal 

financial assistance will become 

available subsequent to the effective 

date of the grant as set forth in the grant 

agreement. Recipients may be 

reimbursed for costs resulting from 

obligations incurred before the effective 

date of the grant, if such costs are 

authorized by VA within this NOFA or 

the grant agreement or subsequently by 

VA in writing and otherwise would be 

allowable as costs of the grant under 

applicable guidelines, regulations and 

terms and conditions of the grant 

agreement.
