Iowa Admin. Code r. 265-41.7 - Application review process

The following procedures will be used in the review of applications for most purposes.

(1) Review; threshold criteria; eligible activities.

a. Review of applications. Applications will be reviewed by a panel appointed by IFA. Applications will be reviewed based on priorities established during each competition round. Review criteria include, but are not limited to, program design, applicant experience and capacity, community partnerships and need, performance, and budget and grant management.

b. Threshold criteria. IFA will identify threshold criteria that all programs are required to meet in order to be eligible.

c. Activities eligible during funding cycle. Each competition round will specify which of the total eligible program activities will be supported.

(2) If an application contains an activity determined to be ineligible, at IFA's discretion, the ineligible activity may be deleted from the application or the application may be disqualified.

(3) Before making final funding recommendations, IFA may review applications with other state agencies or other groups with expertise in the area of serving homeless persons. Consultation with other agencies is intended to avoid duplication and promote maximum utilization of funding sources.

(4) Based on the review process, IFA may revise the overall funding request by activity or funding level and recommend a final funding figure to the IFA board of directors for approval.

(5) IFA shall establish the period of funding for each competition.
