Description

    The 2000 Application Guidelines for AmeriCorps National, State, and 
Indian Tribes and U.S. Territories provide the background, requirements 
and instructions that potential applicants need to complete an 
application to the Corporation for funds to operate AmeriCorps 
programs.
    The Corporation seeks public comment on the forms, the instructions 
for the forms, and the instructions for the narrative portion of these 
application guidelines. The application forms and instructions are 
being revised to reflect the evaluation criteria approved by the 
Corporation board last year. In some instances this means that 
questions appear under different categories than previously. In an 
effort to streamline and consolidate this application package, there is 
one title page all AmeriCorps National, State, and Indian Tribes and 
U.S. Territories can use. The budget form and title page have been 
revised so that information is asked for one place and does not need to 
be copied to some other part of the form as in the past. Form 
instructions are clearer and are written in plain language.
