The Uniform Project Description (UPD)
is standard language and sections available for use by
Administration for Children and Families (ACF) program offices to
solicit the required project description and project budget
information from applicants for specific funding opportunities.
Applications are required for project grants and cooperative
agreements as prescribed by HHS regulations 45 CFR § 75.203. The
UPD provides a selection of text options for the program offices to
choose from, which are used to communicate the application
requirements for a specific grant or cooperative agreement notice
of funding opportunity (NOFO), as required by 45 C.F.R. § 75.203,
and Appendix I to Part 75 – Full Text of Notice of Funding
Opportunity. The UPD is fundamental to ACF’s competitive award
process. It ensures the provision of adequate information to
support award decisions. The ability to select the appropriate
standard language for a given NOFO reduces the burden of
application preparation, by eliminating unnecessary portions of the
application for a given announcement. In addition, it provides for
consistency and objectivity in the application and review processes
required by 45 C.F.R. § 75.204. This request is for an extension
with no changes. ACF is working on updates to the UPD, with input
from relevant stakeholders, and will submit a revision request
within the next few months.
