Part 435 - General Provisions
Section 435.4 - General applicant information

(a) Application procedures for funds under this Subchapter shall depend on the type of project for which funds are sought. Applicants for funds for State, municipal or historic preservation projects should refer to Part 436 of this Title, applicants for funds for municipal park projects should refer to Part 437 of this Title and applicants for funds for urban cultural park projects should refer to Part 438 of this Title.

(b) It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to evaluate the proposed project using the eligibility criteria found in each Part and to determine under which program to apply for assistance.

(c) Some projects may consist of several elements which fit into different categories; for example, a historic property, such as a stone bridge, in a municipal park. Applicants are advised to divide the project into these elements and to submit a separate application for each element under the appropriate program.

(d) An applicant shall not submit an application for the same project to different programs for consideration during the same grants cycle. However, applications for separate elements of the same project may be submitted simultaneously. In our example, a municipality may simultaneously apply for a historic preservation grant to repair the stone bridge in the municipal park and a municipal park grant to develop a picnic area and playground.

(e) If an application does not receive funds in two consecutive grants cycles in one program, it may be submitted for funds under another program. The application should be refiled using the procedures of the second program.
