ANS RS T® ITE101TlLY AS I) C I,ENGE G Q~STI®NS <br />Can there be several projects within one application proposal? <br />An application proposal may contain several closely related project components that are necessary <br />to accomplish the overall project goal. Projects that are not closely related or dependant on each <br />other should be submitted in separate applications. <br />Can the same application be submitted for funding from the LWRPMP and Feedlot Challenge <br />Grant Programs? <br />No. A similar application received from the same geographical area will be disqualified from <br />funding consideration. <br />Are cost share projects eligible for Challenge Grant funding? <br />Cost share projects are eligible for LWRPMP Challenge Grant funding, but are not eligible for <br />Feedlot Challenge Grant Program funding. <br />Can project expenses that are incurred prior to Challenge Grant funding be used as match or <br />be paid by Grant funds? <br />No. Match and Grant funds can only be used during the grant period October 1, 1998 -September <br />30, 2000. <br />Can Challenge Grant funds be used to employ staff? <br />Yes, but the state assumes no obligation as to their performance, and employment after the end of <br />the grant period (September 30, 2000) or Grant funds have been expended, whichever comes first. <br />After the Grant period is over, what will happen to equipment or supplies purchased with <br />Challenge Grant funds? <br />The applicant may retain equipment or supplies purchased with Challenge Grant funds so long as <br />the equipment or supplies are used for LWRPMP activities. <br />When will successful Challenge Grant applicants receive funds? <br />The designated fiscal agent of successful Challenge Grant applications will receive funding checks <br />in about seven to ten days after signed grant agreements are returned to the BWSR. <br />Who can be contacted to respond to any additional guidance needed to submit an application? <br />Any questions or concerns should be directed to your Board Conservationist. You should discuss <br />your project with your Board Conservationist before submitting it to them. <br />What are my chances of being funded? <br />Challenge Grants in recent years have been very competitive. Approximately 1 out of every 3.5 <br />applications are full or partially funded. <br />H:99CHGR <br />18 <br />
