             Subpart C_How Does the Secretary Make an Award?
 
Sec. 607.20  How does the Secretary choose applications for funding?


    (a) The Secretary evaluates an application on the basis of the 
criteria in--
    (1) Sections 607.21 and 607.23 for a planning grant; and
    (2) Sections 607.22, 607.23, 607.24, and 607.25 for a development 
grant.
    (b) The Secretary informs applicants of the maximum possible score 
for each criterion in the application package or in a notice published 
in the Federal Register.
    (c)(1) With regard to applicants that satisfy the requirements of 
paragraph (d) of this section, for each fiscal year, the Secretary 
awards individual development grants to applicants that are not 
individual development grantees under this part, before the Secretary 
awards an individual development grant to any applicant that is an 
individual grantee under this part.
    (2) For purposes of paragraph (c)(1) of this section, an institution 
that is a recipient of a cooperative arrangement grant is not an 
individual grantee under this part.

    (d) The Secretary considers funding an application for a development 
grant that--
    (1) Is submitted with a comprehensive development plan that 
satisfies all the elements required of such a plan under Sec. 607.8; 
and
    (2) In the case of an application for a cooperative arrangement 
grant, demonstrates that the grant will enable each eligible participant 
to meet the goals and objectives of its comprehensive development plan 
better and at a lower cost than if each eligible participant were funded 
individually.
