Moltry outlines FAQs: multiple applications allowed, changes need approval, and no purchases before contract

During a question-and-answer portion, Lori Moltry said applicants may submit more than one application and that each proposal is considered on its own merits. She advised that if a funded project needs to be changed, grantees must submit a request to the HCI administrator and obtain committee approval before making material changes. Moltry also cautioned that if bids come in higher than expected the HCI award amount does not change and the grantee is responsible for covering the difference.

Moltry reiterated the rule that purchases and work should not begin before a fully executed contract is in hand and described the extension process: if a project cannot be completed within the contract term grantees should submit a written extension request explaining circumstances for HCI committee review. She closed by giving contact information and offering to schedule application review appointments.
