Grant funding is awarded on a competitive basis to political subdivisions of the state.
Both local and state governmental agencies are invited to participate in the grant award process. If you have prior experience with OTS grants, you will notice a significant change in the grant application process. With the goals of encouraging a broader range of participation and minimizing the amount of staff time required to complete the application, OTS has streamlined the process. Rather than requiring a detailed proposal, OTS grant funding decisions will be based on a simple concept paper. If you will be participating in the OTS grant process for the first time, you should find it relatively straightforward and uncomplicated.
