Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Applicants will increase due to the dissemination of NIDRR's priorities and regulatory programs to spread the word on availability of funds. This has been accomplished through increased visibility and outreach by the NIDRR Director and staff. Posting competitions on the Grants.gov web site has increased interest for these applications. Most of the current increased burden from 20,000 burden hours to 130,000 is base on extensive discussions over recent years with past applicants. The responses decreased from 1,000 to 650 because the earlier figure was an approximate figure and now we have a much more realistic number.
