THIS REQUEST IS
APPROVED SUBJECT TO NEA MAKING THE FOLLOWING CHAGES IN LIGHT OF
DUPLICATION AND LACK OF PRACTICAL UTILITY OF DATA ELEMENTS: 1.
APPLICANT DISCIPLINE WILL BE ELIMINATED AS THIS IS HIGHLY CORRELAT
TO PROJECT DISCIPLINE. 2. GRANT AMOUNT REQUESTED WILL BE ELIMINATED
SINCE THIS IS NOT A GOOD MEASURE OF NEED. DESCRIPTIVE DATA ON NEEDS
IS ALREADY AVAILABLE ON STATE GRANT APPLICATIONS. THE RATIO OF
GRANT APPLICANTS TO RECIPIENTS SHOULD PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE PROXY IN
CASES WHERE NEA IS INTERESTED IN T RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GRANT
REQUESTS AND AWARDS. 3. GRANT AMOUNT SPENT WILL BE ELIMINATED SINCE
THIS IS HIGHLY CORRELAT TO GRANT AWARD AMOUNT. CORRESPONDING
CHANGES SHOULD BE MADE TO THE OTHER ITEMS ON THE FORM MEASURING THE
"AMOUNT SPENT" RATHER THAN THE "AWARD." AT THE TIME OF THE NEXT
REQUEST FOR OMB APPROVAL OF THIS FORM, NEA SHOULD REPORT TO OMB ON
A THOROUGH CONSIDERATION OF ELIMINATING THE FOLLOWING DATA
ELEMENTS: DATA ON UNFUNDED APPLICANTS, NAME OF APPLICANT, AND
APPLICANT CITY AND STATE.
