Answer
An applicant who declines to accept a grant during negotiation would not be penalized for declining the award. However, we would consider the grantee to be a poor performer if they accepted an award and subsequently returned it because they cannot fulfill the grant requirements. This does not mean the poor performing grantees are precluded from applying for future assistance. It merely means past performance is taken into account prior to awarding any new grants. Prior performance has always been a consideration for funding.
