Grants of $50K–$400K for Pool Safety

Application Time and Estimated Cost Burden
If your government applies, CPSC estimates you will spend about 44 hours preparing six PSGP-specific attachments (20 hours for a project narrative, 10 for a budget narrative, 6 for a schedule, 6 for a staffing plan, 1 for legal eligibility, and 1 for an indirect cost rate agreement). At an assumed compensation rate of $62.92 per hour, that is about $2,768 per application and a total annual burden of 880 hours and $55,370 across up to 20 applicants.
