Is there an expectation on whether small subawards, for ~ $50K, or large subawards, for ~$750K are preferable? For example, a large subaward could be the only thing a regional PR could award if they ask for the minimum of $2,000,000.
The RFA does not state a preference for the size of the subaward, so long as the subaward is within the $50,000 to $750,000 limit. GLNPO will look to applicants to describe the program to be carried out and why this amount of subaward funding makes sense for their specific…

You could submit two applications, one for regional and one for basin-wide (if selected, we would only fund one GLEJGP). Additionally, you could choose to submit only basin-wide. You may be selected for the full proposal or depending on programmatic needs we might work with your program to focus on…

Full Question: The RFA mentions that contractors and subawards must be awarded competitively, however in our niche field and in many of these underserved communities (especially in less urban environments) there may only be 1 or 2 sub-awardees/contractors to work with at all. Should we apply with support listed from…
