Multi-Year Funding Procedures: The following is a description of Multi-Year Awards for those applicants subsequently recommended for funding. Multi-Year financial assistance awards have an award/project period of 2 to 5 years. Multi-Year Awards are partially funded upon approval and are subsequently funded in increments. One of the purposes of Multi-Year Awards is to reduce the administrative burden on both the applicant and the operating unit. For example, with proper planning, one application can suffice for the entire multi year award period. Once approved, full applications are not required for the continuations into the out years. Funding for each year's activity is contingent upon the availability of funds from Congress, satisfactory performance, and is at the sole discretion of the agency.
