    Historically, ACF has found that the imposition of a matching 
requirement on awards under these programs results in an increased 
level of community support and, often, a higher profile in the 
community. This can contribute to the success and sustainability of the 
project. The Fiscal Year 2009 funding opportunity announcements for 
each listed program will advise applicants on the percentage of funds 
that must be contributed through non-Federal

[[Page 67184]]

resources, the composition of the match, and the merit of the match as 
a criterion in the competitive review. The administratively imposed 
matching requirement will apply only to new awards and their 
continuation awards, made under the Fiscal Year 2009 funding 
opportunity announcements listed in this notice. This Fiscal Year 2009 
matching requirement does not represent an addition to the existing 
matching requirements on awards made under funding opportunity 
announcements issued in Fiscal Year 2008 or before. The amount and 
acceptable types of non-Federal resources allowed is not negotiable. 
However, matching may be provided as direct or indirect costs. The 
presence and composition of matching funds may be used as a criterion 
in evaluating the merits of an application during competitive review. 
Specific information related to the matching requirement and 
competitive review will be provided in each listed funding opportunity 
announcement. Unmatched Federal funds will be disallowed. Costs borne 
by matching contributions are subject to the regulations governing 
allowability found under 45 CFR 74.23 and 45 CFR 92.24.
    The Department of Health and Human Services' Grants Forecast is a 
database of planned grant opportunities proposed by its various 
agencies. Each Forecast record contains actual or estimated dates and 
funding levels for grants that the agency intends to award during the 
fiscal year. Additional details about ACF planned FY2009 funding 
opportunity announcements can be found on the Grants Forecast Web site 
at https://extranet.acf.hhs.gov/hhsgrantsforecast/. Published ACF 
funding opportunity announcements are available on Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov and the ACF Grant Opportunities Web page at http://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/open.html.
