The Application for Federal Financial Assistance (AFFA) replaces the SF-424 as ARC’s standard application form. A completed and certified AFFA is used to collect essential applicant and project information at the time of application and becomes part of the official project record.

There are certain project amendments that require grantees to recertify and submit a new AFFA to validate updated changes and ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the ARC award. This must be completed by updating and recertifying a paper-based copy of the AFFA (linked below) and submitting it to your Project Coordinator. Grantees should initiate all amendment requests through Pathways and use this form only when directed by their Project Coordinator.
