Grant Allocation. Grant funds shall be allocated in accordance with the criteria set forth in Regulation .07B of this chapter. Grant awards to eligible applicants shall take into consideration the need to fund a variety of projects, and to serve as many geographic areas of the State as possible. The Department may refuse to consider applications with incomplete information. The Department may make grant awards to particular projects and decline to make awards to otherwise eligible projects, based on the Department's assessment of the project's overall merit and its merit relative to competing applicants. The Department may fund projects at levels less than requested based on the: Number of applications; Merit of each project; and Amount of funding available. Application Solicitation.
