Activity; ACF Uniform Project
Description
Office of Administration, Office
of Grants Policy, Administration for
Children and Families, HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a 3-year extension of the ACF
Uniform Project Description (UPD)
(OMB #0970–0139, expiration 2/28/
2022). There are no changes requested
to the form.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
SUMMARY:
72969
Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
above.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed
collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be
forwarded by emailing infocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. Identify all requests by the
title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The proposed
information collection would renew the
ACF UPD. The UPD provides a uniform
format for applicants to submit project
information in response to ACF
discretionary Notices of Funding
Opportunities. The UPD requires
applicants to describe how program
objectives will be achieved and provide
a rationale for the project’s budgeted
costs. All ACF discretionary grant
programs are required to use the UPD.
ACF uses this information, along with
other OMB-approved information
collections (Standard Forms), to
evaluate and rank applications. Use of
the UPD protects the integrity of the
ACF award selection process.
Respondents: Applicants responding
to ACF Discretionary Notices of
Funding Opportunities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
CM&S can be used in a variety of
ways in medical device applications,
including to perform in silico (virtual)
device testing or as part of algorithms
within software embedded in a device.
However, regulatory submissions
involving CM&S often lack clear
information for why model predictions
can be considered credible. This draft
guidance provides a risk-based
framework that can be used in the
credibility assessment of CM&S used in
medical device regulatory submissions.
This draft guidance builds upon the
FDA-recognized consensus standard
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers V&V 40, ‘‘Assessing
Credibility of Computational Modeling
Through Verification and Validation:
Application to Medical Devices,’’ by
providing a general framework for
demonstrating CM&S credibility that
incorporates the different types of
evidence typically generated for
regulatory submissions. The framework
is intended to be applicable to any use
of CM&S in a medical device
submission. It is not specific to any
device type, modeling discipline or
clinical specialty.
This draft guidance is being issued
consistent with FDA’s good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115).
The draft guidance, when finalized, will
represent the current thinking of FDA
on ‘‘Assessing the Credibility of
Computational Modeling and
Simulation in Medical Device
Submissions.’’ It does not establish any
rights for any person and is not binding
on FDA or the public. You can use an
alternative approach if it satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes
and regulations.
