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 Project Description is found in OMB Circular A–102; 2 CFR, Part 215; 2 CFR, Part 225; 2 CFR, Part 230; 45 CFR, Part 74; and 45 CFR, Part 92.

Federal statute and regulation require each State Protection and Advocacy (P&A) System to prepare and solicit public comment on a Statement of Goals and Priorities (SGP) for the P&A for Developmental Disabilities (PADD) program for each coming fiscal year.
