E-RACP application Submission Process

ALL E-RACP APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED USING THE DCED ELECTRONIC SINGLE APPLICATION WEBSITE.  AN APPLICATION CERTIFICATION WILL BE RECEIVED UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE SUBMISSION PROCESS.  BE AWARE THAT ONCE A FUNDING ROUND IS CLOSED, NO LATE SUBMISSIONS CAN BE PROCESSED.
 

Before completing a Business Plan, project eligibility must be verified. See the Itemized Projects Eligible for Funding 1986-Present section of this website for the required criteria.

Prior to accessing the DCED Electronic Single Application website, Candidates are strongly encouraged to review the e-RACP instructions available on the RACP website. Please be advised of the following:

  •  First time users will need to go through a separate registration process, returning users will login.

  •  A completed set of budget forms also known as the RDA 300, RDA 301, and Construction Cost Breakdown will be needed for submittal and reference throughout the e-RACP Application.

  • The e-RACP Application should be completed from the viewpoint of the Candidate/Beneficiary.
 An Application Certification will be generated after the e-RACP Application has been successfully submitted to the DCED Electronic Single Application website.  Please print the certification and retain it for record purposes.  e-RACP Applications MUST be submitted by the deadline stated on the Funding Round Schedules section of this website.

  • During the initial review, e-RACP Applications that do not meet the minimum requirements for eligibility and completeness will be removed from the selection process.

A summary of all e-RACP Applications will be sent to the Administration for grant award consideration.

If selected, an Award Letter to submit a formal Application and Business Plan for a RACP grant will be sent to the awardee.  If you did not receive an award letter by the date the Office of the Budget officially closes a funding round, as posted on our website, then you were not selected for an award.  You will need to re-apply during a subsequent open funding round.
