Is a separate SF 424 form for the partnering organization needed in addition to the SF 424 for the lead applicant? Are any other forms needed?
Applicants applying as an EN partnership must include details in the project narrative; please review the guidance in Appendix E ‘Project Narrative Overview’ to see exactly where details on your partnering organization/partner contacts are required.
Though additional forms are needed for partnership applications (see ‘What sections of the SN should I familiarize myself with, if I am interested in applying as an EN partnership?’ FAQ), a separate 424 form is not necessary. However, the submitted 424 form should include any costs that would be awarded to your partner as a pass-through entity as a ‘subaward’ under the ‘other’ budget category. Be sure to also capture these costs in the Budget Narrative Attachment Form (again, list it as a subaward under the ‘other’ budget category). Please see Section 3D of the Solicitation Notice and the following link for more information on subawards: Grants Policy Issuance (GPI) 16-01: EPA Subaward Policy for EPA Assistance Agreement Recipients.
