Can states and tribes that don’t use the AFS Universal Interface, but do use batch methods for data collection, apply for funding under the AFS focus area?
Yes, batch user states and tribes may propose to do feasibility studies/requirements analyses to support them in their consideration of options and pros/cons for the full utilization of the Universal Interface (UI). Proposals may also be submitted that cover studies on improvements to state’s system data and business flow processes to more easily report data to AFS. This includes technical assistance to support the feasibility study/requirements analysis for improving the flow of state and tribal MDR data and any additional environmental data to AFS. Applicants may also propose to do training and technical assistance on the UI to support customized reporting to AFS. All projects under this focus area involve doing studies and analysis or training. Actual implementation of the improvements cannot be performed using funding from this grant program.
