Approach. Outline a plan of action pertaining to the scope of the project and detail how the proposed

unusual features of the project, such as design or technological innovations, reductions in cost or
time, or extraordinary social and community involvements. Provide for each assistance program
quantitative projections of the accomplishments to be achieved, if possible. When accomplishments
cannot be quantified, list the activities in chronological order to show the schedule of
accomplishments and their target dates. Identify the kinds of data to be collected and maintained,
and discuss the criteria to be used to evaluate the results and success of the project. Explain the
