	State
	Investment Justification (IJ) Overview
	As part of the FY 2015 NSGP application process, 501(c)(3) organizations within FY 2015 Urban Areas Security Initiative-designated Urban Areas must use the FEMA-provided template to develop an IJ that addresses each initiative proposed for funding. These IJs must demonstrate how proposed projects address gaps and deficiencies in current programs and capabilities, as well as how the investment supports the building or sustaining of core capabilities within the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal). Additionally, the IJ must demonstrate the ability to provide enhancements consistent with the purpose of the program and guidance provided by FEMA. Applicants must ensure that the IJ is consistent with all applicable requirements outlined in this application kit.
	Completing the Prioritization of IJs Tab
	Information for the following columns should be located in Section I - Applicant Information of the nonprofit organization's IJ:
		• Urban Area		• 501(c)(3) Number
		• Legal Name of Organization		• DUNS Number
		• Organization Type		• Contractual Agent with DHS
		• FY 2015 Federal Funding Request
	Information for the following columns should be located in Section IV - Target Hardening of the nonprofit organization's IJ:
		• AEL Categories Allowable
	*Under FY 2015 NSGP, the only allowable AEL activities are: Physical Security Enhancement (AEL Category 14), Inspection and Screening Systems (AEL Category 15), and Training. The two allowable prevention and protection categories and equipment standards for the NSGP are listed on the DHS AEL located on the FEMA site at https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/101566.
	Information for the following column should be located in the Bonus: Funding History section of the nonprofit organization's IJ:
		• Previous NSGP/DHS Funding Received
	Investment Justification Formatting Requirements
	Applicants must use the FEMA-provided Excel-based NSGP IJ template (Office of Management and Budget [OMB] Number: 1660-0110/FEMA Form Number: 089-25) for their FY 2015 NSGP application submission. If using a more recent version of Excel (e.g., Excel 2007), applicants should save the final version of the IJ in the Excel 2003 format prior to submission. The NSGP IJ template can be found at http://www.grants.gov.
	State Review and Selection Process
	The State Administrative Agency (SAA), in coordination with the UAWG, is encouraged to conduct a high-level, cursory review of all submitted applications from nonprofit organizations to first determine eligibility based on the established criteria. Once eligibility has been determined, the SAA will review and score compliant IJs by leveraging State and local knowledge. FEMA will provide each SAA with the FY 2015 NSGP Scoring Worksheet (see Appendix E - FY 2015 NSGP Investment Justification Scoring Worksheet of the FY 2015 NSGP NOFO) and the FY 2015 Prioritization of Investment Justifications Template, which will allow the SAA to provide the scores from the State review along with a prioritized list of NSGP projects, ranked in consideration of two factors:
		• Need – The relative need for the nonprofit organization compared to the other applicants
		• Impact – The potential impact of the nonprofit organization in achieving maximum prevention and/or
			protection results at minimal cost.
	The method by which an SAA chooses to rank Investments using the two factors is at the discretion of the SAA and UAWG. When adding NSGP application rankings into the SAA Prioritization column, projects having the highest priority should be given a ranking of 1. The entry in the column should follow the format of "rank/total number of NSGP projects reviewed by the SAA." For example, the highest priority project in a pool of 10 projects should be entered as "1/10."
	Submitting SAA/UAWG Scores and the Prioritization of IJs
	The SAA must submit completed applications electronically through the Non Disaster (ND) Grants system located at https://portal.fema.gov no later than 11:59 p.m. EST, May 19, 2015. Late applications will neither be considered nor reviewed.
	As part of the FY 2015 NSGP application submission process, the SAA should submit the FY 2015 Prioritization of Investment Justifications (in rank order) in the FEMA-provided template using the following naming convention:
		• “FY 2015 <State Abbreviation>_Prioritization of Investment Justifications”
	The SAA should also submit individual IJs using the following file naming convention:
		• “FY 2015 NSGP <State Abbreviation>_<Urban Area>_<Nonprofit Name>”
	The Prioritization of Investment Justifications Template must be submitted by the SAA to FEMA along with the applicable IJs no later than 11:59 p.m. EST, May 19, 2015. If you have any questions, please contact the Centralized Scheduling and Information Desk (CSID) at askcsid@dhs.gov or (800) 368-6498.
