Please visit the "Application and Submission Information" section of the solicitation to review the "Program Narrative" section, as the page length and other requirements may vary by solicitation. However, generally, the program narrative should be double-spaced with 1-inch margins on pages that are 8 ½ by 11 inches, while using a standard 12-point font (preferably Times New Roman). Pages should also be numbered (example: "1 of 30," etc.). Items such as tables, charts, pictures (including all captions, legends, keys, subtext, etc.), may be single-spaced, and will count in the page limit.
Please note, documents required under the "Project Abstract," "Budget and Budget Narrative," and "Other Attachments" sections will not count toward the program narrative page count. If the program narrative fails to comply with these length-related restrictions, OJJDP may consider the application to be non-compliant in peer review and final award decisions.
Applicants should review the sample most appropriate to the nature of the solicitation under which they are applying, i.e., program, research, or evaluation. Timelines submitted by applicants should be specific to their individual proposals, and the samples should serve simply as guides to the format, etc.
Questions may be addressed to the solicitation contact.
No. The application should describe the applicant's plan for collecting all of the performance measures data listed in the table below under "Data Recipient Provides," should it receive funding.
