Between these two rounds of grants, DOL <br />intends to award at least $150 million to grantees that provide On- the -Job Training (OJT) to all <br />participants. The remaining funding will be awarded to applicants that'provide other training <br />strategies to participants. Across the two types of grants awarded (OJT and other training <br />strategies), DOL intends to award at least $45 million to applicants proposing to provide training <br />in the health care industry and $60 million to applicants proposing -to focus on the long -term <br />unemployed. These set - asides are not-mutually exclusive; In other,words, applicants can - <br />propose to' provide OJT'in the health care industry and if successful, their funding amount•will <br />count toward both set- asides.

Applicants that submit more than one application to a <br />round of funding will be considered non - responsive, and none of their applications will be <br />considered for funding. If an applicant is not successful when submitting an application during <br />round one, it should note that ETA cannot ensure that applicants will receive a summary of the <br />panel's comments on the original application before the second closing date. Therefore, if an <br />applicant chooses to submit a second application for the later closing date, absent receipt of the <br />summary of the panel's comments, any changes to their original proposal will be made at their <br />own discretion. <br />Grants proposing the two types of training strategies (OJT and non -OJT) will be paneled <br />separately. <br />B.
