Funds may be used for such purposes as: • Salaries and/or purchased services of a part-time project coordinator, part-time technical assistance coordinators, and other personnel for which a need is clearly demonstrated in the proposal; • Costs related to travel in providing training and technical assistance services (please note the Travel Requirements below); • Supplies and materials costs associated with the development and provision of training and technical assistance, including translation, braille, and audio tapes as needed; • Room/facility rental associated with provision of training; • Interpreters and language translators at training sites; • Project evaluation activities; • Purchase of equipment to support activities of the project (not to exceed 3 percent of the total budget; it is expected that such purchases will primarily occur in Year 1 of the project and therefore not require an annual allocation of funds for equipment); • Postage, printing, duplicating, telephone, and fax; • Advertising of training and technical assistance opportunities; and • Administrative OR indirect costs (not to exceed 3 percent of the total budget). Funds may not be used to: • Supplant salaries of existing staff; • Supplant activities and services funded by other federal, state, and local sources; or • Cover costs of moving, remodeling, or building. Institutions of Higher Education that receive a state award or federal pass-through award for a grant program administered by the Illinois State Board of Education will be restricted to a maximum indirect rate of 8% or other indirect cost rate calculated by their cognizant federal agency, whichever is less, pursuant to an exception to the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) and GATA approved by the Governor’s Office of Management and Budget.
