Review and Selection Process 

Each application submitted to the 

OPHS Office of Grants Management will 

be screened to determine whether it was 

received by the closing date and time. 

The results of a competitive review 

are a primary factor in making funding 

decisions. In addition, Federal staff will 

conduct administrative reviews of the 

applications and, in light of the results 

of the competitive review, will 

recommend applications for funding to 

the Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Population Affairs (DASPA). The 

DASPA may also solicit and consider 

comments from others within DHHS in 

making funding decisions. Final grant 

awards decisions will be made by the 

DASPA. The DASPA will fund those 

projects which will, in his/her 

judgment, best promote the purposes of 

this program, within the limits of funds 

available for such projects. 

VI. Award Administration Information 

1. Award Notices
