Abstract: The UPD is used by ACF to solicit project description information used in discretionary grant program announcements to evaluate and rank applications. The UPD is an integral part of the application that employs a menu design allowing program offices to limit their request for information to only that which is relevant for a particular program. A menu approach minimizes hourly burden and Federal Register publication costs.
