Continuation Funding
Determination of continuation funding will be based on your performance under the current award and the availability of funds, which is not guaranteed. The requirements and methods for determining continuation funding are generally detailed in the program announcement published in the Federal Register. A separate application will generally be required to be considered for continuation funding.
Even though a grant may be for a specified period (3-5 years), it does not guarantee yearly funding. Each grantee is requested to submit an annual proposal for continuation funding based on the guidelines provided by the Federal funding agency. Although each grant program may have its specific requirements for what is contained in a continuation grant, most agencies ask grantees to provide information about performance for current grant, new or continuing project objectives and project budgets. Deadlines for continuation grants are established by the awarding agency. There may be negotiations on continuation grants from year to year depending on:
- Funding availability
- Recipient’s performance in meeting program goals for the period
- General compliance by the recipient
- The best interest of the Federal government
