In determining the quality of the design of the proposed project, the
GRANTS
Secretary considers the extent to which the design of the proposed project
is appropriate to and will successfully address the needs of the target
population or other identified needs.
Suggestions for applicants: We suggest that you clearly describe the activities to be provided by the project and
elaborate on how these goals and objectives are linked to the identified needs. The roles to be played by any
partnering organizations should be outlined, describing who will do what, when, and where, to what ends, and with
what anticipated results. It is also suggested that you carefully tailor your activities to address the specific needs of
program participants and to achieve the desired outcomes.

Successful applicants have included realistic goals with measurable goals and objectives and are clear in
addressing how specific activities in the project design will lend themselves to assisting students in their area(s) of
CONTRACTS
need. Objectives should not be a list of activities that should be conducted during the grant cycle, such as hiring a
project director; but should set realistic and progressive indicators of project success. When addressing specific
activities, it is suggested that applicants provide specific information regarding activities. For instance, merely
asserting in an application that the project will assist students in meeting or exceeding local and state standards
does not provide the reviewers of the application with a full understanding of how this will occur. For this type of
example, it is our experience that successful applicants address the needs of students at risk of academic failure
through the specific interventions of the project’s design, such as specific remediation or enrichment activities.

MULTIYEAR AWARDS
Applicants may request funding for a multiyear award for up to 3 years. In order to be
considered for a multiyear award, the applicant must explain why a multiyear project is needed
and provide a detailed budget for each of the years of the proposed project. The Department will
establish, at the time of the initial award, the funding levels for each year of the grant award. At
the end of the project period, applicants will also be required to submit a final performance
report.

CONTRACTS
Future continuation awards will rely heavily on project performance reports, which will need to
be submitted near the end of each budget period. If sufficient progress is not made or there is a
substantial amount of carryover funding, continuation awards may be reduced from their initial
funding level. You will be notified when the reports are due. A copy of ED’s generic Annual
Performance Report is included in the Appendix A of this application package. An electronic
version of the required grant performance forms and instructions is available at the program
website http://www.ed.gov/programs/alaskanative/performance.html. When developing program
objectives and outcomes it is important to make them measurable, so that they may easily be
translated into the Department’s report mechanism.
Please note that Department regulations require that any grantee generating program income is
required to submit an annual financial statement when submitting their annual performance
report. Grantees must use the SF269 to report on their financial status. This form is available at

Instructions for Meeting the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA) Section 427
Requirements
All applicants must include information in their applications to

address this provision in order to receive funding under this program.
Section 427 requires each applicant to include in its application a

description of the steps the applicant proposes to take to ensure
equitable access to, and participation in, its federally-assisted
program for students, teachers, and other program beneficiaries with
special needs.
This section allows applicants discretion in developing the required

description. The statute highlights six barriers that can impede
equitable access or participation that you may address: gender, race,
national origin, color, disability, or age.
A general statement of an applicant’s nondiscriminatory hiring policy

is not sufficient to meet this requirement. Applicants must identify
potential barriers and explain steps they will take to overcome these
barriers.
Applicants are required to address this provision by attaching a

Survey on Ensuring Equal Opportunity for Applicants
Purpose: The Federal government is committed to ensuring that all qualified applicants, small or large, non-religious or faith-
based, have an equal opportunity to compete for Federal funding. In order for us to better understand the population of applicants
for Federal funds, we are asking nonprofit private organizations (not including private universities) to fill out this survey.
Upon receipt, the survey will be separated from the application. Information provided on the survey will not be considered in any
way in making funding decisions and will not be included in the Federal grants database. While your help in this data collection
process is greatly appreciated, completion of this survey is voluntary.
Instructions for Submitting the Survey: If you are applying using a hard copy application, please place the
completed survey in an envelope labeled “Applicant Survey.” Seal the envelope and include it along with your
application package. If you are applying electronically, please submit this survey along with your application.
