Key financial constraints include a cap on administrative costs at 10 percent of direct costs, and a requirement that training be competitively priced with the state's Eligible Training Provider List. The application process involves three critical steps: IGX registration and a Letter of Intent both due by October 14, 2026, followed by the final application deadline on November 18, 2026.
