NYSED Consortium Policy for State and Federal Discretionary Grant Programs
Applicants/participants can form a partnership or consortium to apply for the grant. In order to do so, the partnership or consortium must meet the following requirements:
- The partnership or consortium must designate one of the applicants/participants to serve as the applicant and fiscal agent for the grant. The applicant agency must be an eligible grant recipient. All other consortium members must be eligible grant participants, as defined by the program statute or regulation.
- In the event a grant is awarded to a partnership/consortium, the grant or grant contract will be prepared in the name of the applicant agency/fiscal agent, not the partnership/consortium, since the group may not be a legal entity.
- The applicant agency/fiscal agent must meet the following requirements:
a. Must be an eligible grant recipient as defined by statute;
b. Must receive and administer the grant funds and submit the required reports to account for the use of grant funds;
c. Must require consortium partners to sign an agreement with the fiscal agent that specifically outlines all services each partner agrees to provide.
d. Must be an active member of the partnership/consortium, except where SUNY or CUNY Research Foundations are the fiscal agent.
e. Cannot act as a flow-through for grant funds to pass to other recipients. NYSED may establish a minimum level of direct service to be provided by the fiscal agent.
f. Is PROHIBITED from sub-granting funds to other recipients. The fiscal agent is permitted to contract for services with other consortium partners or consultants to provide services that the fiscal agent cannot provide itself.
g. Must be responsible for the performance of any services provided by the partners, consultants, or other organizations and must coordinate how each plan to participate.
