Summary


The application and budget forms are being incorporated pursuant to new requirements of Chapter 120, FS. The Derelict Vessel Grant Program rule is being moved to this rule to provide consistency with other Commission grant programs. The State Wildlife Grant program guidelines are being changed to reflect the Program’s progress and development within the agency. These changes include eliminating the preliminary review option for grant applications, clarifying (but not changing) the partial prohibition of indirect costs used as matching funds to allow them not to exceed more than 15% of the salary request per fiscal year, adding statements relating to unemployment/workers compensation, and clarifying our metadata requirements. Also included in the changes is a provision directing grantees to plan a project timeframe to allow for completion of the draft and final reports without requiring an amendment for additional time, as such could be considered a late deliverable when reviewing future applications.
