Applicants

ACTION: Notification of availability.

SUMMARY: The National Endowment for the Arts is requesting proposals 
leading to the award of a Cooperative Agreement to oversee the 
preparation of independent assessment reports of approximately 200 
applicants for a FY95 Challenge grant, for use in the grant decision-
making process. The assessments will result from the analysis of 
application documents and through telephone interviews with key staff 
and board members of the applicants, and will address each applicant's 
ability to successfully meet the Challenge Grant requirements for the 
proposed activities. The artistic quality of the applicant organization 
or the proposed project will not be included in the analysis. The role 
of the recipient of this Cooperative Agreement will be to provide 
independent assessment reports; advise the Endowment, its panels, and 
other decision-making bodies as to the feasibility and potential impact 
of a Challenge Grant for the applicants; and attend all meetings where 
applications are reviewed to answer questions about the assessment 
reports. Those interested in receiving the Solicitation package should 
reference Program Solicitation PS 94-06 in their written request and 
include two (2) self-addressed labels. Verbal requests for the 
Solicitation will not be honored.

DATES: Program Solicitation PS 94-06 is scheduled for release 
approximately March 14, 1994 with proposals due April 14, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Requests for the Solicitation should be addressed to the 
National Endowment for the Arts, Contracts Division, room 217, 1100 
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20506.
