Each year New Jersey publishes a Request for Proposals (RfP) to solicit grant proposals for section 319(h) funds from eligible entries. This RfP serves doubly as a guidance document which establishes criteria for projects based on federal requirements and state priorities; identifies specific administrative, procedural, and programmatic requirements necessary for applicants; and provides timetables for funding processes and decisions. A notice is also required to be published in the New Jersey Register (N.J.R.) on 319(h) pass-through grant amount and availability for the state fiscal year.

Below is the SFY 2006 guidance document and RfP. This RfP requires that all entities interested in applying for section 319(h) funds submit a web-based Intent to Apply Form by April 29, 2005 that is also included below. Meetings will then be scheduled with each potential applicant to discuss project logistics by June 15, 2005 in order to be eligible to submit a pre-proposal by the July 8, 2005 deadline.
