Sec.  59.8  How is a grant awarded?



    (a) The notice of grant award specifies how long HHS intends to 

support the project without requiring the project to recompete for 

funds. This period, called the project period, will usually be for three 

to five years.

    (b) Generally the grant will initially be for one year and 

subsequent continuation awards will also be for one year at a time. A 

grantee must submit a separate application to have the support continued 

for each subsequent year. Decisions regarding continuation awards and 

the funding level of such awards will be made after consideration of 

such factors as the grantee's progress and management practices, and the 

availability of funds. In all cases, continuation awards require a 

determination by HHS that continued funding is in the best interest of 

the government.

    (c) Neither the approval of any application nor the award of any 

grant commits or obligates the United States in any way to make any 

additional, supplemental, continuation, or other award with respect to 

any approved application or portion of an approved application.
