with all grant guidelines listed in Section I, fully address all of
the issues found under "Grant Proposal Content Requirements" (Section
III) and who, in the sole judgment of the NSSF, propose activities
that best promote hunter recruitment, participation and retention objectives.
(All decisions of NSSF are final and non-reviewable.)
Grant recipients shall be required to sign a written Grant Conditions Acknowledgement
Agreement with the NSSF immediately following notification of acceptance.
Grant recipients shall also be required to execute and submit all
other necessary documentation (e.g., reports) as directed during the
term of the grant to ensure their commitment to the Grant Program.
Grant applicants are strongly advised to review the Grant Conditions Acknowledgement
Agreement with their contracting departments prior to submitting their
proposals to determine whether they can comply wit hthe Agreement
as written.
The NSSF reserves the right, at any time, to cancel or amend this Review and Selection Process, reject any or all proposals, in whole or in part, waive minor irregularities in proposals, or to allow applicants to correct minor irregularities, if the best interests of the Grant Program will be served by doing so.
