Sec. 51b.605  How will grant applications be evaluated and the grants awarded?

    (a) Within the limits of funds available, the Secretary may award a 
grant to assist in meeting the costs of special activities authorized 
under section 318(b) of the Act.
    (b) Grant applications will be reviewed and evaluated according to 
the following criteria:
    (1) Is there adequate evidence that the proposed project is needed 
and that the outcome has potential to directly benefit the national 
venereal disease control effort?
    (2) Are the project objectives specific, measurable, realistic, time 
phased, and related to promoting the purposes of section 318?
    (3) Is the method of operation logical and clearly related to 
project objectives, and does it describe how the applicant intends to 
proceed particularly with activities which are complex, interrelated, or 
unprecedented?
    (4) Does the method of operation include an assessment of any 
possible impact, both positive and negative, that the conduct of the 
proposed initiative might have upon the established venereal disease 
control program in the locality or localities in which the project will 
be undertaken?
    (5) Does the proposal include a comprehensive and realistic plan for 
the evaluation of the project, and specify the measures and instruments 
of measurement to be used?
    (6) Is the budget request reasonable and consistent with the 
intended use of grant funds?
    (7) If the applicant intends only to evaluate an existing disease 
prevention and control approach, are the objectives substantially 
different from those which could be met by routine program evaluation?
