<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 supported by relevant stafistlcal evidence; <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 />-- <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 />eligibility 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 />
