Grants & Awards: LGRMIF: 2009 Grant Application Materials

Awards

The Local Government Records Advisory Council (LGRAC) recommends which applications to fund based on reviewers' evaluations, and presents these recommendations to the Commissioner of Education, who makes the final decision on the awarding of grants. The New York State Division of the Budget releases funds necessary to make grant payments.

The State Archives will not release information regarding the status of an application until all applications have been reviewed and the Commissioner of Education has approved the proposed grant awards.

All applicants will be notified by mail concerning the status of their applications, usually in late June. Award decisions are final and are not subject to appeal. In the notification letter, a summary of the reviewers' recommendations is provided explaining the decision and why the decision was made.
