*Some organizations that will get funded directly by an agency will work with that agency outside the clearinghouse from this point on.

**Project selection for some grant programs takes place prior to the agency having a budget. Therefore, although a project is selected for funding, actual funding is based upon Congress passing a budget that funds the agency grant program and the agency receiving adequate funding in the grant program to fund projects. Projects are funded based on individual agency timelines.
