Completing the Application
⭐ Do you have a simple sample application with all the questions included so we can prepare a draft prior to entering in the application?
The Application Guide (Updated) serves this purpose. It walks the applicant through each question on the application and outlines the required documents. It is recommended that applicants draft and save their responses and complete all required prior to beginning the online application.
⭐ Can we submit more than one application?
No.
⭐ Can we save our application as we complete entries?
Yes, the application may be saved once so you may complete it at a later time.
⭐ How do you save the application?
At the bottom of the application you may submit without designating the “complete” checkbox and this sends you an email that is encrypted to reopen for completion at a future time. The person who started the application must be the one to complete it by using that email to return to where they stopped in the process. If the email is lost, a new application must be started.
⭐ How do you complete the application so that it will be reviewed?
When you complete the application, you must select the completed checkbox as that is what triggers your application for consideration. Without this step, the application is considered incomplete.
⭐ Is the SAM number required to complete the application?
A SAM (System for Award Management) number, also known as a Unique Entity ID (UEI), is required to receive federal funds. While applicants do not need a SAM number to apply, they will need a SAM number before receiving funds. There is no fee to apply for or receive a SAM number. To apply for a Sam Number visit www.sam.gov.
⭐ How long does it take to complete the application?
It should take about 10 minutes to complete the application if you have already pulled the required documents listed in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) (Updated) or the Application Guide (Updated).
⭐ Can applicants receive a copy of the submittal?
Yes, all applicants receive a copy of their submission by email – this occurs if the applicant is in process and as well as when submitted upon “completed” checkbox selection.
