    Abstract: The NHPRC posts grant announcements to their Web site and 
to Grants.gov (www.grants.gov), where the information will be specific 
to the grant opportunity named. The basic information collection 
remains the same. The NA Form 17001 is used by the NHPRC staff, 
reviewers, and the Commission to determine if the applicant and 
proposed project are eligible for an NHPRC grant, and whether the 
proposed project is methodologically sound and suitable for support.
