Use Case Background The US ED's Office of Acquisition, Grants and Risk Management, Grants Management Policy Division is developing a Single Use Annual Performance Report that pulls together elements from various APRs. The goal is to make it easier for those submitting APRs. As part of this work, we compared CEDS and the Federal Integrated Business Framework Grant Management Standards. You can find their standards at https://ussm.gsa.gov/fibf-gm/.

Some federal programs using the Single Use APR require information on the degree and type of visual impairment. The option sets proposed were taken from the Single Use APR.
