How to apply...
Application Procedure:
The 12 TAACs apply each year for funding for the coming fiscal year. Industry associations or other organizations seeking industry assistance must submit an application Standard Form 424, if invited to do so as a result of the meeting with EDA representatives.
Note: Each program will indicate whether applications are to be submitted to the Federal headquarters, regional or local office, or to a State or local government office.
Award Procedure:
Awards to TAACs are made based upon applications and previous performance. Awards to industries are made based on conformance with program requirements and availability of funds.
Note: Grant payments may be made by a letter of credit, advance by Treasury check, or reimbursement by Treasury check.
Awards may be made by the headquarters office directly to the applicant, an agency field office, a regional office,
or by an authorized county office. The assistance may pass through the initial applicant for further distribution by
intermediate level applicants to groups or individuals in the private sector.
