INITIAL STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (ISIP) AND BIANNUAL STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION REPORT (BSIR) ODP will provide a new web application for submission of the ISIP and BSIR. This web application will replace the prevision submission method using ISIP Excel Templates. All reports must be completed and submitted to ODP electronically using the web application, All information submitted to ODP through these reports is considered to be dynamic, Each report submitted will be stored as a historical record of that submission. Updates will be made during subsequent submissions, It is therefore critical that each report submitted be comprehensive and include a thorough update of all information requested, All reports must be transmitted via the web in accordance with ODP- scheduled submission deadlines, The URL to the new web application is https://www,reportinq,odp,dhs.oov/qrants, A. Initial Strategy Implementation Plan For this grant process, applicants are not required to provide budget detail worksheets with their application. However, grantees will be required to submit an ISIP to ODP via the web application no later than 60 days after the grant award date, The ISIP is a detailed report of the planned activities associated with ODP grant funding, The ISIP will provide a complete account of how the state has complied with the requirement to pass through 80% of all funds to local jurisdictions, and will also demonstrate how the planned expenditure of grant funds at both the local and state levels will support the goals and objectives outlined in the State Homeland Security Strategy, This will be completed through the specific identification of a project or projects to be accomplished by each subgrantee and by the state with funds provided during the grant award period. All funds provided must be linked to one or more projects, which in turn must support specific goals or objectives in the State or Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy, States are reminded to keep a record of subgrantee budget worksheets and must make them available for DHS review upon request. This report must be completed for all funds retained by the state and for each subgrantee, whether it is a local jurisdiction, other state agencies, or federally- recognized tribal nations. Allocation of all financial resources provided through the FY05 HSGP must be used to fund the critical resource gaps identified by the local and state homeland security assessments and to accomplish the goals and objectives laid out in the State or Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. To that end, it is imperative that the state communicate the goals and objectives laid out in the State Homeland Security Strategy to local jurisdictions to ensure an appropriate understanding of how funds must be expended under this grant. Because states' ISIP submissions reflect expected expenditures, states may not update ISIP submission after ODP approval. All changes in expenditures will be subsequently reflected in the BSIR. D-I
