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 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 availability for the state fiscal year.

Below is the SFY 2007 RfP. This RfP requires that all entities interested in applying for Section 319(h) funds submit an Intent to Apply Form by March 24, 2006. A web-based version of this form is included below. Pre-application meetings will then be scheduled with each potential applicant to discuss project logistics by May 12, 2006 in order to be eligible to submit a pre-proposal by the June 30, 2006 deadline.
