Programs. 

OMB Control Number: 0524–0039. 

Summary of Collection: The United 

States Department of Agriculture 

(USDA), Cooperative State Research, 

Education, and Extension Service 

(CSREES) sponsor ongoing research, 

education, and extension programs 

under which competitive, formula, and 

special awards of a high-priority nature 

are made. These programs are 

authorized pursuant to the authorities 

contained in the National Agricultural 

Research, Extension, and Teaching 

Policy Act of 1977, as amended (7 

U.S.C. 3101), the Smith-Lever Act, and 

other legislative authorities. Before 

awards can be issued, certain 

information is required from applicants 

as part of an overall application. In 

addition to a project summary, proposal 

narrative, vitae of key personnel, and 

other pertinent technical aspects of the 

proposed project, supporting 

documentation of an administrative and 

budgetary nature also must be provided. 

This information is obtained via 

applications through the use of Federalwide standard grant application forms 

and CSREES specific application forms. 

Because competitive applications are 

submitted, many of which necessitate 

review by peer panelists, it is 

particularly important that applicants 

provide the information in a 

standardized fashion to ensure equitable 

treatment for all. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

fundamental purpose of the information 

requested is for USDA proposal 

evaluation, award, management, 

reporting, and recordkeeping, as part of 

the overall administration of the 

research, education, and extension 

programs administered by CSREES. In 

addition to Federal-wide standard grant 

application forms, CSREES will use the 

following program and agency specific 

components as part of its application 

package: Supplemental Information 

Form; Application Type Form;
