         Subpart C--Grants for Family Planning Service Training
 
Sec. 59.206  Evaluation and grant award.

    (a) Within the limits of funds available for such purpose, the 
Secretary may award grants to assist in the establishment and operation 
of those projects which will in his judgment best promote the purposes 
of section 1003 of the Act, taking into account:
    (1) The extent to which a training program will increase the 
delivery of services to people, particularly low-income groups, with a 
high percentage of unmet need for family planning services;
    (2) The extent to which the training program promises to fulfill the 
family planning services delivery needs of the area to be served, which 
may include, among other things:
    (i) Development of a capability within family planning service 
projects to provide pre- and in-service training to their own staffs;
    (ii) Improvement of the family planning services delivery skills of 
family planning and health services personnel;
    (iii) Improvement in the utilization and career development of 
paraprofessional and paramedical manpower in family planning services;
    (iv) Expansion of family planning services, particularly in rural 
areas, through new or improved approaches to program planning and 
deployment of resources;
    (3) The capacity of the applicant to make rapid and effective use of 
such assistance;
    (4) The administrative and management capability and competence of 
the applicant;
    (5) The competence of the project staff in relation to the services 
to be provided; and
    (6) The degree to which the project plan adequately provides for the 
requirements set forth in Sec. 59.205.
    (b) The amount of any award shall be determined by the Secretary on 
the basis of his estimate of the sum necessary for all or a designated 
portion of direct project costs plus an additional amount for indirect 
costs, if any, which will be calculated by the Secretary either: (1) On 
the basis of his estimate of the actual indirect costs reasonably 
related to the project, or (2) on the basis of a percentage of all, or a 
portion of, the estimated direct costs of the project when there are 
reasonable assurances that the use of such percentage will not exceed 
the approximate actual indirect costs. Such award may include an 
estimated provisional amount for indirect costs or for designated direct 
costs (such as travel or supply costs) subject to upward (within the 
limits of available funds) as well as downward adjustments to actual 
costs when the amount properly expended by the grantee for provisional 
items has been determined by the Secretary.
    (c) Allowability of costs shall be in conformance with the 
applicable cost principles prescribed by Subpart Q of 35 CFR part 74.
    (d) All grant awards shall be in writing, shall set forth the amount 
of funds granted and the period for which support is recommended.
    (e) Neither the approval of any project nor any grant award shall 
commit or obligate the United States in any way to make any additional, 
supplemental, continuation, or other award

with respect to any approved project or portion thereof. For 
continuation support, grantees must make separate application annually 
at such times and in such form as the Secretary may direct.
