While the EAC understands adjustments may be needed during the course of the grant cycle, your project was selected based on the application submitted and the criteria set forth in the RFA. Not all requests may be approved if significant changes are made that deviate from the Project Plan and Budget Table that were selected by the RFA selection committee.
