Common use of Supporting Evidence Clause in Contracts

Supporting Evidence. The subsection must include a discussion of the evidence base for including each strategy with respect to the project and the target population and how the strategies will address the priority topic(s) problem(s) or issue(s) noted in the Strategic Approach and Project Design section of the Project Narrative. Applicants should use this section to support the cooperative agreement category for which they are applying, whether causal or feasibility. There are two ways to qualify for the causal category of funding. Causal studies must either build on existing highly rated causal research or be designed with a methodology that could produce highly rated causal research. Well-designed studies that do not meet the threshold for high rated causality methodology would be eligible for feasibility category of funding.
