8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap.: The ACF Grants Center of Excellence operates GrantSolutions.gov / Grants Administration, Tracking and Evaluation System (GCOE) is one of three Grants Management Line of Business (GMLOB) consortia providers. The GCOE provides business solutions to grants officers and specialists to manage their grant programs and process grant applications from receipt through award. Financial information is exchanged electronically with the HHS UFMS enterprise financial system, and standards are being developed to interface with any financial accounting system. Currently 16 different agencies have signed as business partners for GCOE services. The GCOE is undergoing a modernization effort by moving from client-server to web based architecture, along with redesigning its data architecture, to enable the GCOE to support the E-Gov initiatives in the President's Management Agenda. This investment positions the GCOE to support other PMA strategies e.g. Improved Financial Performance, Budget and Performance Integration, and Strategic Management of Human Capital. ACF follows the agency's capital programming process and related techniques to determine the GCOE's effectiveness in supporting the HHS and ACF mission and strategic goals, and to identify and implement needed improvements. Funding for the mixed life-cycle of this project encompasses operations and maintenance of the legacy GATES system, the migration of HHS OPDIVs to the GCOE, and other improvements in support of the GMLOB, and other PMA initiatives. The GCOE is also one of two systems comprising the Department's Enterprise-wide Grants Management System. The GCOE enables ACF to function as a full-fledged grants processing organization capable of supporting its expanded customer base of HHS service grant-making OPDIVs; while the NIH IMPAC II system supports research grants. This investment provides for system enhancements and service delivery improvements as the various grants management and reporting processes currently in use at HHS OPDIVS continue to be unified, streamlined and standardized across the Department. This initiative is pursuant to the Secretary's "One HHS" goal, and is consistent with the HHS Strategic Plan goal to achieve excellence in management practices, and enhances the use of information technology in service delivery and record keeping by improving the accessibility and functionality of the technology.

1.a. If yes, what is the date of the plan?: 2008-06-30

1.b. Has the Risk Management Plan been significantly changed since last year's submission to OMB?: no

3. Briefly describe how investment risks are reflected in the life cycle cost estimate and investment schedule:: All identified risks have been managed or are in the process of being managed. Schedule risks have been considered when establishing the program schedule. It is very probably that GrantSolutions.gov/GATES will be completed on schedule. It is unlikely that the project schedule will vary greater than 10% from the schedule baseline. The project schedule is based primarily on investment planning but also contains limited external deadlines and dependencies. There is a reasonable amount of contingency built into the project schedule. The project is mature enough that any minor schedule variances are not likely to cause major variances later in the life cycle. The project has moderate complexity as it involves multiple development efforts over the next three years. As GrantSolutions.gov/GATES matures, there remains very little cost risk. The cost estimate is based on ample historical performance on the investment and the selected alternative is defined enough to estimate the cost. The cost estimates are well developed and will probably not need additional refinement during this life cycle. Costs are both risk adjusted and inflation adjusted. If the project received less than the total budgetary resources requested, new business partnerships could not be developed. This would put severe limitations on GrantSolutions.gov/GATES providing ongoing services and would raise the burden of current partner agencies. This investment is funded incrementally and was approved by OMB for the previous budget cycle. The costs reported in the Cost and Schedule Performance Section and Summary of Spending Table in this exhibit include the full cost of GrantSolutions.gov/GATES, including transition to support and O&M costs. Both the cost and schedule carefully account for risk.
