Short Statement: In FY 2012, the SDS program changed from a 1 year formula grant to a 4 year project competitive grant which lowers the number of eligible grantees. In the last clearance package we estimated 500 applications and 500 reports to be submitted. The old SDS formula program allowed all eligible applicants to receive funds and all eligible applicants were required to submit an annual performance report. The numbers decreased from 500 applications to 400 applications since there were 400 applicants in FY 2012, but only 99 applicants were funded. Therefore, only 99 awardees will be required to submit a SDS performance report. In addition, the SDS performance report will be required twice a year instead of annually.
