Abstract: The Grant Application Data Summary (GADS) collects information from applicants seeking grants from the Administration for Native Americans (ANA). ANA awards annual grants in three competitive areas. Previously, ANA collected information using a separate form for each competitive area (OMB No. 0970-0261, OMB No. 0970-0263, and OMB No. 0970-0264). ANA has consolidated the three previous information collections into the single GADS Instrument. The respondents are Tribal Governments, Native Non-Profits, Tribal Colleges and Universities. The information collected from this form is used to provide reports to the Commissioner of ANA as well as Congress as to the types of projects ANA is funding and the focus of these projects.
