Economic Development_Technical Assistance - Federal Grants Wire
Most technical assistance recipients are private or public nonprofit organizations and educational institutions. As defined in 13 C.F.R. § 300.3, 'eligible recipients' include a State, city, county, or other political subdivision of a State, including a special purpose unit of a State or local government engaged in economic or infrastructure development activities, or a consortium of such political subdivision, an institution of higher education or a consortium of institutions of higher education, an Economic Development District organization, a private or public nonprofit organization or association, including a faith-based nonprofit organization, acting in cooperation with officials of a political subdivision of a State, or an Indian Tribe, or a consortium of Indian Tribes. Individuals, companies, corporations, and associations organized for profit are not eligible. As used in this paragraph, 'State' includes the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau. Program funds cannot be awarded to individuals and for profit organizations.
2 CFR 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards applies to this program. Except for applications that have a national or multi-regional focus, applications are subject to the requirements of E.O. 12372, “Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs” and implementing regulations at 13 CFR § 302.9.
Each fiscal year, two EDA regional offices will provide a five-year project period for each University Center selected for funding under the requisite competition, with the initial award being made for the first year of the project period. Funding beyond the initial year is dependent upon the availability of funds and satisfactory performance, as determined by EDA and expressed in written notice. The servicing EDA regional office will contact current University Center operators regarding the procedures for applying for continuation funding. National and Local Technical Assistance projects are typically funded for a single project period without any pre- set expectation of renewal. Renewal of an award to increase funding or extend the period of performance is at EDA's sole discretion.
Matching Requirements: Generally, the amount of the EDA award may not exceed 50 percent of the total cost of the project. Projects may receive an additional amount that shall not exceed 30 percent, based on the relative needs of the region in which the project will be located, as determined by EDA. See section 204(a) of PWEDA (42 U.S.C. § 3144) and 13 C.F.R. § 301.4(b)(1). The Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development has the discretion to establish a maximum EDA investment rate of up to one-hundred (100) percent where the project (i) merits and is not otherwise feasible without an increase to the EDA investment rate; or (ii) will be of no or only incidental benefit to the recipient. See section 204(c)(3) of PWEDA (42 U.S.C. § 3144) and 13 C.F.R. § 301.4(b)(4). In-kind contributions, fairly evaluated by EDA, may provide the non-federal share of the total project cost.
