application submitted through
Grants.gov by writing the VA point of
contact specified in this NOFA within
15 days to request withdrawal with a
rationale for the request.
VI. Award Administration Information
A. Selection for Funding: VA will
utilize the ranked scores of applications
as the primary basis for selection,
ultimately made by the delegated
official who may factor in the risk
assessment and clarifying information
provided by the applicant.
B. Award Notice: Although subject to
change, the VLGP Office expects to
announce grant awards in the 4th
quarter of FY 2022. Awards will be for
12 months. The initial announcement
will be made via news release which
will be posted on VA’s VLGP website at:
https://www.cem.va.gov/legacy/
grants.asp. Following the initial
announcement and after the application
deadline, the VLGP Office will send
notification letters to the grant
recipients. Applicants who are not
selected will be sent a declination letter.
C. Grant Agreements: After an
applicant is approved for award, VA
will draft a grant agreement to be
executed by VA and the grantee. Upon
execution of the grant agreement, VA
will obligate the grant amount. Grantees
will be subject to requirements of this
NOFA, the VLGP regulations (38 CFR
38.710–38.785), other Federal grant
requirements under 2 CFR part 200 and
the grantee’s VLGP application. A full
copy of the regulations governing the
VLGP is available at the VLGP website
at: https://www.cem.va.gov/legacy/
grants.asp.
D. Administrative and National
Policy: VA places great emphasis on
responsibility and accountability. VA
has procedures in place to monitor grant
programs and outcomes associated with
the services provided under the VLGP.
E. Payment: Grant awards will be paid
in a method that is in accordance with
VA and other Federal fiscal
requirements. Funds will be disbursed
on initial obligation and halfway
through the grant period (i.e., for 1st 6
months and then for the 2nd 6 months).
Awardees will be required to support
their request for funding based on the
project budget.
F. Reporting: 1. Annual report: All
grantees must submit to VA, not later
than 60 days after the last day of the
grant period, a final report. The final

evaluation, proof of meeting VA
objectives as outlined in the mission of
the VLGP and a summary of the
effectiveness of the completed proposal.
The grantee must be open to a possible
site visit and external evaluation to be
considered for future funding.
2. Additional reporting: VA may
request additional information, records
and reports to allow VA to assess
program effectiveness.
G. Recovery of funds: VA may recover
from the grantee any funds that are not
used in accordance with the grant
agreement. If VA decides to recover
funds, VA will issue to the grantee a
notice of intent to recover grant funds,
and the grantee will then have 30 days
to submit documentation demonstrating
why the grant funds should not be
recovered. After review of all submitted
documentation, VA will determine
whether action will be taken to recover
the grant funds. When VA decides to
recover grant funds from the grantee,
VA will stop further payments of grant
funds until the grant funds are
recovered and the condition that led to
the decision to recover grant funds has
been resolved.
H. Financial Management: The
grantee shall conform to the Single
Audit Act Amendments of 1996, as
implemented by 2 CFR part 200. All
grantees must use a financial
management system that complies with
2 CFR part 200. Grantees must meet the
applicable requirements of OMB’s
regulations on Cost Principles at 2 CFR
part 200.
I. Availability of Grant Funds: Federal
financial assistance will become
available subsequent to the effective
date of the grant as set forth in the grant
agreement. Recipients may be
reimbursed for costs resulting from
obligations incurred before the effective
date of the grant, if such costs are
authorized by VA within this NOFA or
the grant agreement or subsequently by
VA in writing and otherwise would be
allowable as costs of the grant under
applicable guidelines, regulations and
terms and conditions of the grant
agreement.
