Background and Structure Clause Samples

The 'Background and Structure' clause serves to provide context and outline the organizational framework of the agreement. It typically introduces the parties involved, summarizes the purpose of the contract, and may describe how the document is organized or how its provisions interrelate. For example, it might explain the business relationship leading to the agreement or reference prior negotiations. This clause ensures that all parties have a shared understanding of the contract’s intent and layout, helping to prevent misunderstandings about its scope and application.
Background and Structure. A.1 HMISBackground A.2 HUD Requirements and HMIS Data Standards A.3 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) A.4 Georgia HMIS Organization, Management and Contacts Project Goals 1) Assist homeless persons to navigate the continuum of care 2) Assist homeless service agencies with information allowing them to better serve their clients 3) Assist homeless agencies, local, state and Federal entities with information on numbers of homeless persons, reasons for homelessness, services they require, services they receive, gaps in services, etc. The Georgia HMIS is a collaborative statewide effort to implement HMIS across eight of the nine Georgia continuums of care. Columbus-Muscogee has a separate HMIS implementation. The Lead Agency for the Georgia HMIS project is the Department of Community Affairs. The lead agency oversees the HMIS project and manages the Supportive Housing Program grant from HUD, however each Continuum of Care is responsible for ensuring that the implementation is successful in their Continuum. Many of the Continuum of Care also have HMIS staff that work specifically on HMIS issues in that Continuum. Each CoC is responsible for soliciting feedback from agencies and stakeholders and communicating that feedback to the Steering Committee. Each CoC should establish an advisory group made up of agencies and other stakeholders in order to solicit feedback on HMIS implementation. The CoC representative should then bring this feedback to the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is made up of representatives from each of the eight continuum of care and the DCA project manager. The role of the steering committee is to oversee overall implementation and request enhancements to the ClientTrack system. Each CoC is responsible for ensuring that all agencies in that CoC are adhering to the State or Local CoC HMIS policies. The CoC lead should coordinate with DCA in order to develop a training and technical assistance plan that will allow them to troubleshoot any problems in implementation. Agencies can also request training and technical assistance from their CoC Representative. If a user or agency has a request for a system enhancement they are required to communicate the request to their CoC lead that will pass it on to the project manager for review. This request will be reviewed by the GA HMIS Steering Committee. For issues related to system errors, agencies and the continuum of care representatives should communicate directly with ClientTrack.

  • BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The partnership proposed by the Cooperator was selected due to merit review evaluations from the 2017 Notice of Funding Opportunity P17AS00037. The Cooperator demonstrated expertise in disciplines and subject areas of relevance to cooperative research and training. The Cooperator met the program interests of NPS with expertise, facilities, experience, diversity of programs, and history of collaborative research projects. The Cooperator helps the NPS-CESU to meet its objectives to:  Provide research, technical assistance and education to NPS for land management, and research;  Develop a program of research, technical assistance and education that involves the biological, physical, social, and cultural sciences needed to address resources issues and interdisciplinary problem-solving at multiple scales and in an ecosystem context at the local, regional, and national level; and  Place special emphasis on the working collaboration among NPS, universities, and their related partner institutions. The CESU network seeks to provide scientifically-based information on the nature and status of selected biological, physical, and cultural resources occurring within the parks in a form that increases its utility for making management decisions, conducting scientific research, educating the public, developing effective monitoring programs, and developing management strategies for resource protection. Studying the resources present in NPS parks benefits the Cooperator’s goal of advancing knowledge through scientific discovery, integration, application, and teaching, which lead toward a holistic understanding of our environmental and natural resources. The Cooperator is a public research university, sharing research, educational, and technological strengths with other institutions. Through inter-institutional collaboration, combined with the unique contributions of each constituent institution, the Cooperator strives to contribute substantially to the cultural, economic, environmental, scientific, social and technological advancement of the nation. The NPS expects there to be substantial involvement between itself and the Cooperator in carrying out the activities contemplated in this Agreement. The primary purpose of this study is not the acquisition of property or services for the direct benefit or use by the Federal Government, but rather to accomplish a public purpose of support or stimulation authorized the Legislative Authorities in ARTICLE II. This agreement fulfills the Public Purpose of support and economic stimulation for the following reasons:  Projects will engage recipients, partners, communities, and/or visitors in shared environmental stewardship.  Projects will promote greater public and private participation in historic preservation programs and activities. The project builds resource stewardship ethics in its participants.  The information, products and/or services identified or developed by projects will be shared through a variety of strategies to increase public awareness, knowledge and support for historic preservation and stewardship of the nation’s cultural and historical heritage.  Projects will support the Government’s objective to provide opportunities for youth to learn about the environment by spending time working on projects in National Parks. The NPS receives the indirect benefit of completing conservation projects.  Projects will motivate youth participants to become involved in the natural, cultural and /or historical resource protection of their communities and beyond.  Students gain “real world” or hands-on experience outside of the classroom of natural, cultural and/or historical resource projects.  The scientific community and/or researchers external to NPS gains by new knowledge provided through research and related results dissemination of natural, cultural and/or historical resource information.  Projects assist in the creation, promotion, facilitation, and/or improvement of the public’s understanding of natural, cultural, historic, recreational and other aspects of areas such as ecological conservation areas, and state and local parks.
