Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Uniform Project Description (UPD) Program Narrative Format
for Discretionary Grant Application Forms.
OMB No.: 0970-0139.
Description: The proposed information collection would renew the
Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Uniform Project
Description (UPD). The UPD provides a uniform grant application format
for applicants to submit project information in response to ACF
discretionary funding opportunity announcements. ACF uses this
information, along with other OMB-approved information collections
(Standard Forms), to evaluate and rank applications. Use of the UPD
helps to protect the integrity of ACF's award selection process. All
ACF discretionary grant programs are required to use this application
format. The application consists of general information and
instructions; the Standard Form 424 series, which requests basic
information, budget information, and assurances; the Project
Description that requests the applicant to describe how program
objectives will be achieved; and other assurances and certifications.
Guidance for the content of information requested in the Uniform
Project Description is based in 45 CFR 75.203, 75.204, and 45 CFR part
75, Appendix I.
Respondents: Applicants to ACF Discretionary Funding Opportunity
Announcements.
