    Title: Grant Application Data Summary (GADS) Form.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The Grant Application Data Summary (GADS) collects 
information from applicants seeking grants from the Administration for 
Native Americans (ANA). ANA awards annual grants in three competitive 
areas. Previously, ANA collected information using a separate form for 
each competitive area (OMB No. 0970-0261, OMB No. 0970-0263 and OMB No. 
0970-0265). ANA has consolidated the three previous information 
collections into the single GADS instrument.
    Respondents: Tribal Governments, Native Non-profits, Tribal 
Colleges and Universities.
