The applicant may be asked to update elements of the application in order to meet requirements. In those cases, TEA grant negotiators will provide guidance directly to the applicant. If TEA determines during the negotiation process that the application is not eligible to be funded, the agency will notify the applicant of its ineligibility for funding.

TEA is not responsible for paying for any expenditure incurred by the applicant. When TEA and the applicant have negotiated the grant application to approval, TEA awards grant funds by issuing the Notice of Grant Award (NOGA). The NOGA incorporates by reference all guidelines and instructions issued by TEA in the RFA as well as the negotiated application, and it constitutes the binding agreement between TEA and the applicant.

The NOGA also identifies the start and end of dates of the grant program period. Along with the NOGA, the grantee receives a document called Supplement to the NOGA. This document provides more information about the grant being awarded.
