Can you provide additional guidance on how to include the necessary information, including budgeting, for the inclusion of mentors in a submitted application?
Within the budget narrative attachment form, funds to the mentor should be included as a single line item, under the category of ‘subaward’. See example below:
| Category | Name/Description | Quantity | Price Per Unit | Est. Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Food and Beverage | Coffee (Gallon) | 6 | $16 | $96 |
| Participant Support Cost | Community Member Training Fees | 10 | $250 | $2,500 |
| Subaward | Subaward to (EN Mentor Org.) | 1 | $15,000 | 15,000 |
| Total Other Costs | $17,596 | |||
Applicants applying with a mentor must submit Additional Attachment D as part of their application package, which includes:
- A letter of support confirming project participation by the mentoring organization.
- A description of how the recipient would coordinate with the mentor using methods such as regular teleconferences, meetings, or written status reports.
- A description of how the recipient would coordinate with partner(s) to ensure that partner activities are reflected in semi-annual and final reporting (see Section 8B).
- If the recipient plans to distribute funding to mentors, (1) a description of the method for doing so and (2) an overview (line-item description) of the proposed subaward budget (up to $15,000).
