(a) An agency shall select for funding during a strategic funding period only those eligible programs and projects that both fall within the scope of an initiative identified in the corresponding strategic funding plan and are predicted to advance the objective(s) identified as critical to that initiative. An agency's selection of eligible projects and programs shall comply with NJ.S.A. 26:2C-51.

(b) An agency's selection of an eligible program or project shall be supported by an evaluation of:

2. The degree to which the project or program is predicted to advance the objectives ranked as beneficial to the applicable initiative.

(c) If circumstances require an agency to choose between more than one eligible program and/or project, the agency shall give priority to the program and/or project that is predicted to best advance the objective(s) identified as critical to the applicable initiative. If more than one eligible program and/or project are predicted to equally advance the objective(s) identified as critical to the applicable initiative, the agency shall give priority to the program and/or project predicted to best advance the objective(s) considered to be beneficial to the applicable initiative.
