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 proj ect 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.
