Target-setting language with precedent

Each item comes from one funder, one program or one department; none is a government-wide rule.

No target-setting clause from National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities and Justice in the library yet; the items below are the nearest precedent. All clauses

EDGAR, 34 CFR 75.110(c)

Paraphrase

An applicant that lacks a baseline explains how and when it will establish one.

It lets you write: State that no baseline exists yet, and say how and by when you will establish it.
