Step Seven: Hold a Final Subrecipient Selection Meeting
If the selection committee is using a competitive selection process, after the U.S. Attorney has certified applicants, the selection committee should meet on its own to review the proposals and select subrecipients.
The committee should determine in advance how it will make the selections. The group might choose to simply meet to discuss the merits of each proposal and come to consensus. Alternatively, the committee may choose to use a scoring instrument to more objectively weigh the proposals, which is useful if entertaining more than a few proposals. Sample instruments can be found in the Tool Box.
If, on the other hand, the selection committee is simply choosing the subrecipients based on their expertise, then the committee should meet to make sure that all previously identified candidates received a certification from the U.S. Attorney and that there is a consensus on the decisions among the selection committee members.
