—Budget and Budget Justification 15
points.
For FY 2011, the two criteria for the
SEDS–AFI FOA will be titled and
weighted as follows:
—Approach 90 points and
—Budget and Budget Justification 10
points.
The criteria titles will match the titles
found in the project description section
of the FOAs. Matching titles will help
applicants to better understand the
connection between the two sections of
the FOAs. The assigned weights better
reflect what ANA considers to be the
most important elements of the project
application. (Legal authority: Section
803(c) of NAPA, as amended.)
ii. ANA Evaluation Criteria: Included
here is a summary of each criterion. The
FOAs will include a more detailed
description of the evaluation criteria
and the associated project description.
(a) Objectives and Need for
Assistance: Under this criterion,
applications will be evaluated on the
applicant’s community and applicant
identification, connection to the
community, community participation in
the project development, the problem
statement, and the briefly stated
objectives.
(b) Outcomes Expected: Under this
criterion, applications will be evaluated
on the strength of the project outcomes
expected, which include the project
goal, the results and benefits expected,
and one project-specific impact
indicator. For language applications that
are designed to teach a Native language,
applicants must include an impact
indicator that shows advancement of
language fluency. All other language
projects should provide an impact
indicator that measures an increase in
community interest to preserve the
language.
(c) Approach: Under this criterion,
the application will be evaluated on the
strength of the project approach. This
criterion includes two sub-criteria; the
project strategy and the OWP. The
project strategy sub-criterion includes a
detailed description of the
implementation plan, community
involvement and outreach during
implementation, and contingency
planning to support project
implementation. In addition,
partnerships and leveraged resources
will be evaluated as to their
contribution within the overall strategy
of project implementation and its
sustainability; however, the target
numbers will not be evaluated or
scored. In this section reviewers will
also consider organizational capacity
and project sustainability. The OWP

Jkt 223001
sub-criterion includes a review of the
OWP form and its strength as an
effective implementation tool.
(d) Budget: Under this criterion, the
application will be evaluated on the
strength of the budget and how well it
supports successful completion of the
project objectives. This criterion
includes a line-item budget and budget
justification for each line item for each
budget period.
The changes to the content of
evaluation criteria, and the
complementary changes to the project
description section of the FOA, will
more effectively guide panel reviewers
and applicants on what ANA believes
are critical components of a project
application. (Legal authority: Section
803(c) of NAPA, as amended.)
