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?
