A. NOTIFICATION OF SELECTION

The LITC Program Office will notify all applicants by November 2026 whether they have been selected to receive a 2027 grant award. Selected applicants will first be notified by an LITC Grants Portal email directing them to log into the portal where they can view the funding notification.

If Congress has passed final appropriations legislation for the 2027 fiscal year by the time applicants are notified of selection, the notification of selection will include the final amount of the award. If Congress has not passed final appropriations legislation for the 2027 fiscal year by the time applicants are notified of selection, the notification will indicate that the funding amount listed is dependent upon the passage of appropriations legislation. If the total amount of appropriation or the award cap is reduced, the amount listed in the funding notification may be subject to reduction. In addition to the funding amount, the notification may also include notations regarding needed changes to the budget, or it may list special terms and conditions for the award.

An applicant can signal acceptance of the funding notification in the LITC Grants Portal by selecting “Start an Application Amendment” or “Request a Conference” if the applicant has questions before proceeding. All applicants that agree to the funding notification will be required to complete an application amendment to finalize the award.

After notification of selection, the LITC Program Office will invite the Clinic Director and Qualified Business Administrator of first-time LITC grant recipients to a mandatory welcome webinar. All grant recipients are also required to send representatives to attend the Annual LITC Grantee Conference in-person, unless excused. See Section VI.C.iii, Annual LITC Grantee Conference.

Applicants not selected to receive an award will be notified through the LITC Grants Portal by email. The applicant may contact the LITC Program Office for information about the reasons for non-selection.
