solicitation template is to provide a
framework to develop program-specific
announcements soliciting applications
for funding. A program solicitation
outlines the specifics of the funding
program; describes requirements for
eligibility; instructs an applicant on the
necessary components of an application
under a specific program (e.g., project
activities, project abstract, project
timeline, proposed budget, etc.);
outlines program evaluation and
performance measures; explains
selection criteria and the review
process; and provides registration dates,
deadlines, and instructions on how to
apply within the designated application
system. This collection is also
incorporating the previously approved
collection for the OJP Budget Detail
Worksheet (1121–0188). The Budget
Detail Worksheet is only required
during the application process, and
therefore should be included in this
collection with the solicitation template,
reducing the number of OMB PRA
reviews and approvals needed. The
primary respondents are the same, as
listed above, and the worksheet
provides auto calculated fields and
instructions for the necessary budget
information required for each
application submission (e.g. personnel/
benefits, travel, indirect cost rates, etc.).
The form is not mandatory and is
recommended as guidance to assist the
applicant in preparing their budget as
authorized in 28 CFR part 66 and 28
CFR part 70.
(5) An Estimate of the Total Number
of Respondents and the Amount of Time
Estimated for an Average Respondent to
Respond: It is estimated that
information will be collected annually
from approximately 10,000 applicants.
Annual cost to the respondents is based
on the number of hours involved in
preparing and submitting a complete
application package. Mandatory
requirements for an application include
a program narrative and budget details
and narrative (formerly 1121–0188).
Optional requirements can be imposed
depending on the type of program to
include, but not limited to: project
abstract, indirect cost rate agreement,
tribal authorizing resolution, timelines,
logic models, memoranda of
understanding, letters of support,
resumes, disclosure of pending
applications, and research and
evaluation independence and integrity.
Public reporting burden for this
collection of information is estimated at
up to 32 hours per application. The 32hour estimate is based on the amount of
time to prepare a research and
evaluation proposal, one of the most
