SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for a new generic clearance to collect data to
help to ensure grants, cooperative agreements and other Federal
financial assistance programs are awarded to applicants best suited to
perform the functions of the awards.
Periodically Commerce solicits grant applications on <a href="http://grants.gov">http://grants.gov</a> by issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement, Request for
Applications, Notice of Funding Announcement, Notice of Solicitation of
Applications, <a href="http://Grants.gov">Grants.gov</a> announcement, or other funding announcement
type. Applicants are generally required to perform two pre-award steps
The first part of Commerce grant applications consists of submitting
the application form(s), which includes the Standard Form 424,
Application for Federal Assistance and may include additional standard
grant application forms. The second part of a grant application usually
requires a technical proposal demonstrating the applicant's
capabilities in accordance with a statement of work or selection
criteria and other related information as specified in the funding
announcement. Following the grant award, the grant awardee may also be
required to provide progress reports or additional documents.
In addition to grants and agreements, there are other types of
funding announcements. Commerce agencies announce new Federal financial
assistance programs in the Federal Register in a Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA) or other types of funding or program announcements.
Generally, the applicants need to apply for financial assistance under
the new program. The agencies generally require application forms and
related forms for the applicants to apply for Federal financial
assistance.
