Executive Summary: Pursuant to this announcement and, contingent upon available funding, the Office of Community Services (OCS) will award discretionary grant funds through a cooperative agreement to conduct ongoing evaluations of two programs administered by the agency: Community Economic Development (CED) and Rural Community Facilities (RF). Program effectiveness will be assessed by examining: (1) program purpose and design; (2) strategic planning; (3) program management; and (4) program results and accountability. I. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION Legislative Authority Section 680(b) of the Community Opportunities, Accountability, Training and Educational Services (COATES) Human Services Reauthorization Act of 1998 ( P.L. 105-285) requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to require that all activities receiving assistance under Section 680 be evaluated for effectiveness, and states that "funding for such evaluations shall be provided ... through a separate grant awarded by the Secretary specifically for the purpose of evaluation of a particular activity or group of activities." Purpose The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to continue the development and implementation of coordinated program evaluations of two OCS discretionary grant programs. The program priority areas and the estimated level of funding available under each area are: Community Economic Development (CED) for $200,000 and Rural Community Facilities (RF) for $75,000. Project Goals: Evaluation activities to be conducted by the grantee will accomplish the following project goals: Project Scope Evaluation of the two OCS discretionary programs is intended to be national in scope and involve current and future program grantees and, in the case of the RF program, program grantees and intermediary organizations. The evaluations will assess both process and performance outcomes. Information and data will be collected, analyzed, and reported by the grantee at least annually and in formats prescribed by OCS that comport with the Executive Office of the President, OMB's performance reporting requirements and statutorily mandated reports to Congress.

4. Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs: State Single Point of Contact (SPOC) This program is covered under Executive Order (Exec. Order) 12372, "Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs," and 45 CFR Part 100, "Intergovernmental Review of Department of Health and Human Services Programs and Activities." Under the Exec. Order, States may design their own processes for reviewing and commenting on proposed Federal assistance under covered programs. As of August 1, 2006, the following jurisdictions have elected to participate in the Exec. Order process: Arkansas, California, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands. As these jurisdictions have elected to participate in the Executive Order process, they have established SPOCs. Applicants from participating jurisdictions should contact their SPOC, as soon as possible, to alert them of prospective applications and receive instructions. Applicants must submit all required materials, if any, to the SPOC and indicate the date of this submittal (or the date of contact if no submittal is required) on the Standard Form 424, item 16a. Under 45 CFR 100.8(a)(2), a SPOC has 60 days from the application deadline to comment on proposed new or competing continuation awards. SPOCs are encouraged to eliminate the submission of routine endorsements as official recommendations. Additionally, SPOCs are requested to clearly differentiate between mere advisory comments and those official State process recommendations, which may trigger the "accommodate or explain" rule. Comments submitted directly to ACF should be addressed to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Grants Management, Division of Discretionary Grants, 370 L'Enfant Promenade SW., 6th Floor, Washington, DC 20447. Although the remaining jurisdictions have chosen not to participate in this process, entities that meet the eligibility requirements of the Program Announcement are still eligible to apply for a grant even if a State, Territory, or Commonwealth, etc., does not have a SPOC. Therefore, applicants from these jurisdictions, or for projects administered by Federally-recognized Indian Tribes, need take no action in regard to Exec. Order 12372. The official list, including addresses, of the jurisdictions that have elected to participate in Exec. Order 12372 can be found on the following URL: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/grants/spoc.html. 5. Funding Restrictions: Fundraising is not an allowable cost under this program. Construction and purchase of real property are not allowable activities or expenditures under this grant award. 6. Other Submission Requirements: Please see Sections IV.2 and IV.3 for deadline information and other application requirements. Submit applications to one of the following addresses: Submission by Mail Barbara Ziegler-Johnson Hand Delivery Barbara Ziegler-Johnson Electronic Submission Please see Section IV.2 for guidelines and requirements when submitting applications electronically via http://www.Grants.gov. V. APPLICATION REVIEW INFORMATION The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (P.L. 104-13) Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 40 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed and reviewing the collection information. The project description is approved under OMB control number 0970-0139, which expires 4/30/2007. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. (This information collection is currently under OMB review for extension of the expiration date. According to OMB policy, the approval will not expire while the collection is under its review.). 1. Criteria: Part I THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION OVERVIEW PURPOSE The project description provides the majority of information by which an application is evaluated and ranked in competition with other applications for available assistance. The project description should be concise and complete. It should address the activity for which Federal funds are being requested. Supporting documents should be included where they can present information clearly and succinctly. In preparing the project description, information that is responsive to each of the requested evaluation criteria must be provided. Awarding offices use this and other information in making their funding recommendations. It is important, therefore, that this information be included in the application in a manner that is clear and complete. GENERAL EXPECTATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS ACF is particularly interested in specific project descriptions that focus on outcomes and convey strategies for achieving intended performance. Project descriptions are evaluated on the basis of substance and measurable outcomes, not length. Extensive exhibits are not required. Cross-referencing should be used rather than repetition. Supporting information concerning activities that will not be directly funded by the grant or information that does not directly pertain to an integral part of the grant-funded activity should be placed in an appendix. Pages should be numbered and a table of contents should be included for easy reference. Part II GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING A FULL PROJECT DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION Applicants that are required to submit a full project description shall prepare the project description statement in accordance with the following instructions while being aware of the specified evaluation criteria. The text options give a broad overview of what the project description should include while the evaluation criteria identify the measures that will be used to evaluate applications. PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Provide a summary of the project description (one page or less) with reference to the funding request. OBJECTIVES AND NEED FOR ASSISTANCE Clearly identify the physical, economic, social, financial, institutional, and/or other problem(s) requiring a solution. The need for assistance must be demonstrated and the principal and subordinate objectives of the project must be clearly stated; supporting documentation, such as letters of support and testimonials from concerned interests other than the applicant, may be included. Any relevant data based on planning studies should be included or referred to in the endnotes/footnotes. Incorporate demographic data and participant/beneficiary information, as needed. In developing the project description, the applicant may volunteer or be requested to provide information on the total range of projects currently being conducted and supported (or to be initiated), some of which may be outside the scope of the program announcement. APPROACH Outline a plan of action that describes the scope and detail of how the proposed work will be accomplished. Account for all functions or activities identified in the application. Cite factors that might accelerate or decelerate the work and state your reason for taking the proposed approach rather than others. Describe any unusual features of the project such as design or technological innovations, reductions in cost or time, or extraordinary social and community involvement. Provide quantitative monthly or quarterly projections of the accomplishments to be achieved for each function or activity in such terms as the number of people to be served and the number of activities accomplished. When accomplishments cannot be quantified by activity or function, list them in chronological order to show the schedule of accomplishments and their target dates. If any data is to be collected, maintained, and/or disseminated, clearance may be required from the OMB. This clearance pertains to any "collection of information that is conducted or sponsored by ACF." Provide a list of organizations, cooperating entities, consultants, or other key individuals who will work on the project along with a short description of the nature of their effort or contribution. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The following are requests for additional information that must be included in the application:
BUDGET AND BUDGET JUSTIFICATION Provide a budget with line-item detail and detailed calculations for each budget object class identified on the Budget Information Form (SF-424A or SF-424C). Detailed calculations must include estimation methods, quantities, unit costs, and other similar quantitative detail sufficient for the calculation to be duplicated. If matching is a requirement, include a breakout by the funding sources identified in Block 15 of the SF-424. Provide a narrative budget justification that describes how the categorical costs are derived. Discuss the necessity, reasonableness, and allocation of the proposed costs.
TOTAL DIRECT CHARGES, TOTAL INDIRECT CHARGES, TOTAL PROJECT COSTS EVALUATION CRITERIA: The corresponding score values indicate the relative importance that ACF places on each evaluation criterion; however, applicants need not develop their applications precisely according to the order presented. Application components may be organized such that a reviewer will be able to follow a seamless and logical flow of information (i.e., from a broad overview of the project to more detailed information about how it will be conducted). In considering how applicants will carry out the responsibilities addressed under this announcement, competing applications for financial assistance will be reviewed and evaluated against the following criteria: OBJECTIVES AND NEED FOR ASSISTANCE - 10 points The application will be evaluated on the extent to which the applicant documents and addresses evaluation needs of the CED and the RF programs. The applicant will be evaluated on their ability to describe:
APPROACH - 60 points Applicants will be evaluated on how well their proposed evaluation project design and implementation plans are likely to accomplish the following:
ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILES - 10 points Applicant organizations will be evaluated based on:
STAFF AND POSITION DATA - 15 points Applicant staffing and position information will be evaluated based on the extent to which the applicant identifies the individuals who will have the key responsibilities for managing the project, coordinating survey development and administration, training and technical assistance to program grantees, analysis and evaluation report preparation. The focus will be on qualifications, experience, capacity, and commitment to the program. The person identified as project director should have supervisory experience, experience in human services evaluation design, implementation, and reporting.
BUDGET AND BUDGET JUSTIFICATION - 5 points 1) The application will be evaluated on the extent to which the applicant indicates that the resources requested are reasonable and adequate to accomplish the project.
2. Review and Selection Process:
No grant award will be made under this announcement on the basis of an incomplete application.
Each application will be screened to determine whether it was received by the closing date
and time (Section IV.3.) and whether the requested amount exceeds the ceiling or upper range
value, whichever is appropriate (Section II.) Initial Screening: Each application submitted will be screened for completeness and conformity with the requirements listed in this announcement. Late applications or those exceeding the funding limit will be returned to the applicants with a notation that they were unacceptable and will not be reviewed. Evaluation of Applications: Applications that pass the initial screening will be reviewed and rated by a panel based on the program elements and review criteria presented in the relevant sections of this program announcement. The evaluation criteria are designed to enable the review panel to assess the quality of a proposed project and determine the likelihood of its success. The criteria are closely related to each other and are considered as a whole in judging the overall quality of an application. The review panel awards points only to applications that are responsive to the program elements and relevant review criteria within the context of this program announcement. The OCS Director and the program staff use the reviewer scores when considering competing applications. Reviewer scores will weigh heavily in funding decisions, but may not be the only factors considered. Applications generally will be considered in order of the average scores assigned by the review panel. Because other important factors are taken into consideration, highly ranked applications are not guaranteed funding. These other considerations include, for example: the timely and proper completion by the applicant of projects funded with OCS funds granted in the last five years; comments of reviewers and government officials; staff evaluation and input; amount and duration of the grant requested and the proposed project's consistency and harmony with OCS goals and policy; geographic distribution of applications; previous program performance of applicants; compliance with grant terms under previous HHS grants, including the actual dedication of the applicant to acquire additional funding and other committed resources as set forth in project applications; audit reports; investigative reports; and applicant's progress in resolving any final audit disallowance on previous OCS or other Federal agency grants.
Approved but Unfunded Applications Applications that are approved but unfunded may be held over for funding in the next funding cycle, pending the availability of funds, for a period not to exceed one year. 3. Anticipated Announcement and Award Dates: Not ApplicableVI. AWARD ADMINISTRATION INFORMATION 1. Award Notices: The successful applicants will be notified through the issuance of a Financial
Assistance Award document, which sets forth the amount of funds granted, the terms and
conditions of the grant, the effective date of the grant, the budget period for which
initial support will be given, the non-Federal share to be provided (if applicable), and the total
project period for which support is contemplated. The Financial Assistance Award will
be signed by the Grants Officer and transmitted via postal mail.
Following the finalization of funding decisions, organizations whose applications will not be
funded will be notified by letter, signed by the Program Office head. 2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements:
Grantees are subject to the requirements in 45 CFR Part 74 (non-governmental) or 45 CFR Part 92 (governmental).
Direct Federal grants, sub-award funds, or contracts under this ACF program shall not be used to support inherently
religious activities such as religious instruction, worship, or proselytization. Therefore, organizations must take
steps to separate, in time or location, their inherently religious activities from the services funded under this
program. Regulations pertaining to the Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations, which includes the
prohibition against Federal funding of inherently religious activities, can be found at the
HHS web site at:
http://www.hhs.gov/fbci/waisgate21.pdf. A faith-based organization receiving HHS funds retains its independence from Federal, State, and local governments,
and may continue to carry out its mission, including the definition, practice, and expression of its religious beliefs.
For example, a faith-based organization may use space in its facilities to provide secular programs or services funded
with Federal funds without removing religious art, icons, scriptures, or other religious symbols. In addition, a
faith-based organization that receives Federal funds retains its authority over its internal governance, and it may
retain religious terms in its organization's name, select its board members on a religious basis, and include religious
references in its organization's mission statements and other governing documents in accordance with all program
requirements, statutes, and other applicable requirements governing the conduct of HHS funded activities.
Faith-based and community organizations may reference the "Guidance to Faith-Based and Community Organizations
on Partnering with the Federal Government" at:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/government/fbci/guidance/index.html.
HHS Grants Policy Statement
The HHS Grants Policy Statement (GPS) is the Department of Health and Human Services new single policy guide for discretionary
grants and cooperative agreements. Unlike previous HHS policy documents, the GPS is intended to be shared with and used by grantees.
It became effective October 1, 2006 and is applicable to all Operating Divisions (OPDIVS), such as the Administration for Children
and Families (ACF), except the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The GPS covers basic grants processes, standard terms and
conditions and points of contact as well as important OPDIV-specific requirements. Appendices include a glossary of terms and a list
of standard abbreviations for ease of reference. The GPS may be accessed at
