I. Abstract

    The S-K Program provides financial assistance on a competitive

communities. In addition to standard Federal government grant 
application requirements, S-K applications must provide a project 
summary form (NOAA Form 88-204), use NOAA Form 88-0205 instead of SF-
424A for budget information, and provide nine copies of applications. 
Successful grants applicants are required to submit semi-annual 
progress reports and a final report.
