The Excess Delivery Acquisition Program (EDAP) allows NCBRT to charge for a course delivery
when the Federal grant that developed the program is completed or more deliveries
of a requested class are needed than the grant funds can accomodate. This cost per
class is approved by the
Office of Grants and Training
(G&T) so that States pay for the cost of instruction only, not the curriculum
development costs that were paid by G&T training grant funds. Homeland Security
Grant Program funds can be used to pay for the delivery of these classes within
a State at the request of the State Administrative Agent or Training Point of Contact.
DHS-Certified Courses: An off-the-shelf
course can be sold using the EDAP process if the course is (1) DHS-certified and
either (2) the NCBRT has exceeded deliveries for the year, (3) the state has received
its equitable share of deliveries for the year, or (4) the course is being requested
by an entity not eligible for delivery without charge. The EDAP process utilizes
a sales and service agreement for whole courses sold to an entity. Individual participants
may purchase a course registration without entering into a sales and service agreement.
Any revenue earned through the EDAP process is categorized as program income and
is restricted to the Cooperative Agreement program.
Non-DHS Courses: The sale of off-the-shelf
non-DHS products and services also utilizes a sales and service agreement (not the
EDAP process) for whole courses sold to an entity. Non-DHS sales to individual participants
do not require a sales and service agreement. Any revenue earned from the sale of
courses outside the Cooperative Agreement goes into a restricted sales and service
account and may be available for use in the business of the NCBRT under state and
University guidelines.
Individual Registrations: NCBRT-hosted
off-the-shelf courses that are sold directly to participants through individual
registration fees. Participants reserve a course seat using web-based registration,
which enables credit card payment. Any revenue earned from the sale of individual
registrations through the EDAP process is categorized as program income and is restricted
to the Cooperative Agreement program; revenue earned outside the Cooperative Agreement
goes into a restricted sales and service account and may be available for use in
the business of the NCBRT under state and University guidelines.
