Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education Supplemental Information
form for the SF-424 is used together with the SF-424, Application for
Federal Assistance. Several years ago ED made a decision to switch from
the Application for Federal Education Assistance or ED 424 (1890-0017)
collection (now 1894-0007) to the SF-424, in order to adhere with
Federal-wide forms standardization and streamlining efforts, especially
with widespread agency use of <a href="http://Grants.gov">Grants.gov</a>. There were several data
elements/questions on the ED 424 that were required for applicants and
were not included on the SF-424. Therefore, ED put these questions that
were already cleared as part of the 1894-0007 collection on a form
entitled the, U.S. Department of Education Supplemental Information for
the SF-424. The questions on this form deal with the following areas:
Project Director identifying and contact information; General Education
Provision Act Section 427 Assurance; New Potential Grantee; Human
Subjects Research; and Infrastructure Programs and Build America, Buy
America Act Applicability (BABAA). The ED supplemental information form
can be used with any of the SF-424 forms in the SF-424 forms family, as
applicable.
