# Part I. OVERVIEW

This Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) Investment Justification
Reference Guide will provide an overview of changes incorporated into
the FY 2009 Investment Justification based on feedback received from
stakeholders and partners, provide clarification for all Investment
Justification questions, and provide an overview of the scoring criteria
against which the Investment Justification questions will be evaluated.
The FY 2009 HSGP Investment Justification Reference Guide complements
the *FY 2009 HSGP Guidance and Application Kit*, developed by the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

A.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc213645885 .anchor}**Investment Justification
    in FY 2009**

States, territories, and Urban Areas requesting FY 2009 HSGP funding are
**required** to use the web-based IJ submission module provided by DHS
in the Grants Reporting Tool (GRT). The Investment Justification may
include up to 15 Investments and must account for all HSGP funds
requested by the applicant. State and territory applications should only
include State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), Metropolitan Medical
Response System (MMRS), and Citizen Corps Program (CCP) funds. MMRS
Steering Committees and Citizen Corps Councils should be involved in the
development of MMRS and CCP Investments. Urban Area applications must
account only for Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) funding. Similar
to last year, States, territories, and Urban Areas may submit
Multi-Applicant Investments, which represent a shared interest between
two or more States and territories, or a shared interest between two or
more Urban Areas.

Per the requirements in the *FY 2009 HSGP Guidance and Application Kit*,
at least 25 percent of FY 2009 HSGP funding (SHSP, UASI, MMRS, and CCP)
must be collectively allocated to the Strengthening Preparedness
Planning Priority through planning, training and exercise activities.

In FY 2009, DHS is providing all States and Urban Areas with targeted
allocations based on the Department's relative risk assessment in
advance of the Investment Justifications for SHSP and UASI funding. The
purpose of this information is to increase grantee program management
effectiveness by identifying funding availability in the initial stages
of the grant process as well as to increase grantee accountability.
States and Urban Areas should focus their Investments based on the
targeted allocation and submit applications for up to 110 percent (110%)
of the targeted allocation. Subsequently, when determining the final
allocation, DHS may increase or decrease the targeted SHSP and UASI
allocations by up to 10 percent based on the results of the
effectiveness analysis (see Part II of the *FY 2009 HSGP Guidance and
Application Kit* for additional information). For FY 2009 HSGP, there is
an optional cost sharing opportunity that will provide a bonus in the
effectiveness analysis. Applicants that identify optional cash and /or
in-kind cost sharing funds may receive up to a 5 point bonus to their
effectiveness score.

# Part II. ENHANCEMENTS FROM FY 2008 TO FY 2009

A.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc213645887 .anchor}**Feedback from Preparedness
    Stakeholders and Partners**

    []{.mark}

Throughout the course of the FY 2008 HSGP review and scoring process,
DHS collected and compiled recommendations from a variety of stakeholder
and partner sources, including peer reviewer surveys following the peer
review conference, participant surveys from the After Action Conference,
as well as formal and informal stakeholder and partner discussions
conducted throughout the year. The DHS-sponsored After Action Conference
held in San Francisco, California on August 20, 2008 involved
approximately 150 State, territory, Tribal, and local representatives
from 40 States and territories and 5 Tribes.

[]{.mark}

The feedback and recommendations provided by the stakeholder and partner
community were instrumental in refining the FY 2009 HSGP Investment
Justification and peer review process.

[]{.mark}

B.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc213645888 .anchor}**Updates Made to the FY
    2009 Investment Justification**

[]{.mark}

In updating the FY 2009 Investment Justification, DHS placed significant
emphasis on the feedback and recommendations from stakeholders and
partners. Several of the stakeholder and partner recommendations and
actions implemented by DHS include:

[]{.mark}

-   **Enhanced Milestones, Investment Challenges and Outputs/Outcomes.**
    Milestones, Investment Challenges, and outputs/outcomes have been
    consolidated into the new Accomplishments question. This question
    will allow applicants to more easily identify the major
    accomplishments they hope to achieve during the HSGP period of
    performance, the milestones that will mark their progress towards
    these accomplishments, and the challenges that may impede successful
    implementation of the Investment.

[]{.mark}

-   **Expand Funding Plan Character Limit.** The character limit for
    each response area of the Funding Plan has been increased so that
    applicants may provide additional details about the planned
    expenditure of their allocated FY 2009 HSGP funds.

-   **Project Management.** The Project Management question has been
    moved to the Overall section to allow applicants to outline the
    management team that will be used across all Investments within an
    Investment Justification rather than at the individual Investment
    level.

# Part III. INVESTMENT JUSTIFICATION QUESTIONS

Each Investment Justification will be evaluated by a panel of peer
reviewers to determine the anticipated effectiveness of an applicant's
plan to address national and local priorities (including the National
Preparedness Guidelines and applicant-specific priorities), with the
overall goal of managing risk and building preparedness capabilities.

DHS has defined *anticipated* *effectiveness* as:

-   The extent to which the Investment supports the vision of the State,
    territory, Tribe, or Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy and
    program planning activities

-   The ability to successfully execute and implement the Investment to
    achieve the planned Investment outputs and outcomes

The HSGP Investment Justification consists of an Overall Investment
Justification section and up to 15 Investments. Each of the 15
individual Investments contains four individual Investment categories:
Baseline, Strategy, Implementation, and Impact. Within these four
categories there are a total of 12 individual Investment questions.

This section will provide additional details regarding each question in
the Overall Investment Justification section and each of the four
individual Investment categories, including helpful hints for responding
to those questions. Additionally, in response to stakeholder and partner
feedback, examples have been provided for those questions for which
stakeholders and partners have requested additional information. These
examples are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect actual or
recommended Investments for the enhancement of preparedness
capabilities.   They are intended to demonstrate the type and level of
detail of information necessary to respond to the FY 2009
HSGP Investment Justification questions.

# Part IV. SCORING

For FY 2009, the method for calculating an Investment Justification's
anticipated effectiveness score will generally remain the same as the
method used in FY 2008. An illustration of how the FY 2009 anticipated
effectiveness score is calculated has been provided below. Please note
that the weights have been adjusted to reinforce new priority areas.

**FY 2009 Anticipated Effectiveness Calculation**

The **Investment Categories Score** and its individual components are
represented by the blue boxes. The weightings applied to the questions
were determined by DHS.

The **Comprehensive Investment Score,** represented by the yellow box,
assesses how well the individual responses collectively demonstrate the
applicant's vision (addressed by the Baseline and Strategy sections, and
the Impact question) and the applicant's ability to execute the proposed
Investment (addressed by the Implementation section and the
Sustainability question).

The combination of the Investment Categories and Comprehensive
Investment scores comprise the **Individual Investment Score**,
represented by the light green box*.* All Individual Investment Scores
are used to produce one **Overall Investment Score.**

Finally, a **Portfolio Score,** represented by the orange box, will be
given to the Investment Justification submission as a whole. This score
assesses how well the applicant's Investments collectively support
homeland security plans, avoid duplication of efforts, and work towards
reducing the applicant's risk as outlined in the Overall Investment
Justification question.

The sum of the Overall Investment Score and Portfolio Management Score
make up the **Anticipated** **Effectiveness Score**, represented by the
dark green box. Additionally, all applicants that submit a
Multi-Applicant Investment are eligible for up to a 5 point bonus to
their anticipated effectiveness score for submitting one Multi-Applicant
Investment and up to an 8 point bonus for submitting multiple
Multi-Applicant Investments. Applicants that identify optional cash and
/or in-kind cost sharing funds may receive up to a 5 point bonus to
their anticipated effectiveness score as well.

# Part V. MULTI-APPLICANT SUBMISSIONS

For the FY 2009 HSGP submission process, States, territories, and Urban
Areas may choose to submit Multi-Applicant Investments as part of their
application. States and territories may only submit Multi-Applicant
Investments with other States or territories, while Urban Areas may only
submit Multi-Applicant Investments with other Urban Areas (either with
an Urban Area in the same State or with an Urban Area in another State).
For the purposes of this application, Urban Areas cannot submit a
Multi-Applicant Investment in partnership with the State in which they
are located. Working together with other eligible FY 2009 HSGP
applicants, States, territories, and Urban Areas will be able to develop
or enhance a capability by sharing the costs among a group of partners,
strengthening and building partnerships within their region, benefiting
from the experience of their peers, and increasing their region's
overall preparedness.

All Multi-Applicant Investments will be reviewed by separate
Multi-Applicant peer review panels. These review panels will use scoring
criteria similar to those provided for other Investments. The review
panel will also consider the degree to which the Multi-Applicant
Investments demonstrate collaboration among partners and the overall
merit of the Multi-Applicant Investments as a collective project that
could not be accomplished by a single State, territory or Urban Area.
Based on these criteria the Multi-Applicant review panels may provide a
bonus to each partner's overall effectiveness score. Applicants that
submit one Multi-Applicant Investment may receive up to a 5 point bonus
to their effectiveness score. Applicants that submit more than one
Multi-Applicant Investment may receive up to an 8 point bonus to their
effectiveness score. Please note that partners may receive different
bonus scores based on their individual contributions to the
Multi-Applicant Investment.

The FY 2009 HSGP Multi-Applicant submission process will be similar to
the FY 2008 process. Multi-Applicant partners will identify a submitting
partner who will include responses to certain questions on behalf of all
co-partners. These questions were chosen because they best reflect and
require group effort, and the responses to them should be drafted by all
participating co-partners and should not be the work of only one
partner. Please note that the submitting partner will not receive any
additional bonus, nor incur any additional responsibilities, by
submitting the partnership's responses as a part of their
Multi-Applicant Investment. A Multi-Applicant process flow has been
provided below for reference.

The Multi-Applicant Investment Outline below provides further
information regarding the FY 2009 Multi-Applicant submission process,
including Multi-Applicant Investment questions, scoring criteria, and
details regarding specific partner roles and responsibilities when
submitting Multi-Applicant Investments.

Please note that the roles and responsibilities of the submitting
partner and each co-partner have changed from FY 2008. These changes
have been reflected in the table below.

available to ensure all partners will have as much time as possible to
complete their individual sections.

An Investment Justification submission process flow has been included
below.

report files to [*http://www.grants.gov*](http://www.grants.gov/) no
later than **[11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, March 20,

# APPENDIX C. MULTI-APPLICANT INVESTMENT PLANNING WORKSHEET

*This Multi-Applicant Investment planning worksheet has been provided to
help applicants in drafting their Multi-Applicant Investments prior to
the January 1, 2009, release of the IJ Submission module in the Grants
Reporting Tool (GRT). This planning worksheet allows applicants to take
advantage of spell check and character count functionalities, as well as
coordinate the overall efforts for their Multi-Applicant Investments.
Several questions within the Multi-Applicant Investment will require
that all partners work together to draft answers collaboratively; these
questions have been colored red in this planning worksheet. Answers for
all other questions should be drafted independently by each co-partner.*

*All responses captured in this Multi-Applicant Investment planning
worksheet **must** be transferred into the applicant's Investment
Justification in the IJ Submission module
(<https://www.reporting.odp.dhs.gov/>), available January 1, 2009. For
additional submission details, refer to Part V. Multi-Applicant
Submissions.*
