DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Agency Recordkeeping/Reporting Requirements Under Emergency
Review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
Title: Grant Application Data Summary (GADS).
OMB No.: 0970-0328.
Description: The purpose of this request is to obtain an emergency
OMB clearance of the Grant Application Data Summary (GADS) form to
ensure information collected from all FY09 ANA grant applicants (in
March 2009) is accurate.
The GADS collects information from applicants seeking grants from
the Administration for Native Americans (ANA). ANA awards annual grants
in nine competitive areas. Previously, ANA collected information using
the GADS form for 4 competitive areas, not 9. The GADS form, which is
part of the ANA discretionary grant application package, has been
revised to comply with required changes made to the ADA FY09 Program
Announcements (PAs). The PA5 were changed to comply with a new policy
established by ACF requiring that subcategories within a PA be broken
down into a stand-alone PA. On 12/5/08, ANA published nine PAs to
support this new requirement for separate PA5; it was necessary for ANA
to change the GADS form to reflect the new PA5. Below are the changes
to the GADS form: (please select relevant topic under ONE heading)
