<br />CJD-13.a <br /> <br />Program Narrative <br />(Instructions) <br /> <br />I. To be considered for funding, a proposed grant project: <br /> <br />1. must address a problem that is clearly identified, is. (at least partially) measurable <br />and is supportod by relevant statistioal ovidence; <br /> <br />2. must minimize duplication or overlapping of existing programs; <br /> <br />3. must have a design wherein the activities and goals are realistic and attainable; <br /> <br />4. preferably should. but is not required to, be innovative in its <br />concept/design/operation; (a project is considered innovative if it provides a new <br />and different strategy or approach that prevents, deters. intervenes, or stops a <br />criminal act from occurring); <br /> <br />5. must have a cost structure which Is realistic when compared to its goals; <br /> <br />6. must cooperate and coordinate its activities with other appropriate <br />agencies/projects; <br /> <br />7. must include measures to assure that it demonstrates cross-cultural awareness <br />in all project activities and in its staffing and training; and <br /> <br />8. must include a proposed evaluation design that provides relevant data to measure <br />the effectiveness of the project, and a plan for performing such evaluation. <br /> <br />II. Accordingly, the Program Narrative must present the information by which the <br />e6gibility and merit of the project can be assessed. Applications will be scored and <br />ranked numerically, for funding consideration, according to the congruence of the <br />project with the criteria stated above. At a minimum, the four sections of the Program <br />Narrative must Include the following Information: <br /> <br />1. Problem Statement: <br />a. Describe the problem and the need that makes this grant necessary. <br />b. Identify the target population and the geographic target area. <br />c. Describe existing activities that address the problem. <br />d. Describe the extent to which this project will duplicate or overlap existing <br />activities, and why that (if any) is necessary. <br /> <br />2. Historical Data: <br />a. Cite statistical data that demonstrates the problem. <br />b. Document trends in the problem (eg., cite 3 years of UCR data). <br />
