    The Secretary evaluates an application for a planning grant on the
basis of the criteria in this section.

    (2) The president or chief executive officer, administrators and
other institutional personnel, students, and governing board members
systematically and consistently will be involved in the planning
process;
    (3) The applicant will use its own resources to help implement the
project; and
    (4) The planning process is likely to achieve its intended results.
    (b) Key personnel. The Secretary reviews each application to
determine the quality of key personnel to be involved in the project
based on the extent to which--
    (1) The past experience and training of key personnel such as the
project coordinator and persons who have key roles in the planning
process are suitable to the tasks to be performed; and
    (2) The time commitments of key personnel are adequate.
    (c) Project Management. The Secretary reviews each application to
determine the quality of the plan to manage the project effectively
based on the extent to which--
    (1) The procedures for managing the project are likely to ensure
effective and efficient project implementation; and
    (2) The project coordinator has sufficient authority, including
access to the president or chief executive officer, to conduct the
project effectively.

extent to which the proposed project costs are necessary and reasonable.
