It is required that this be 2 full-time individuals, or can 1.0 FTE be comprised of 2 part-time individuals? In other words, can we have 1 full-time staff member and 2 part-time staff members (50% of their time) who make up a full 1.0 position? | One full-time staff member and two part-time staff members are acceptable as long as the total hours meet the minimum of 2.0 FTEs.

| Apr 9, 2024 11:58 AM | RFA, Section 2, 2.01 "Please see Attachment F of the RFA to complete the Work Plan narrative."
