program.
    (3) The general quality of the applicant's plan of operation and 
objectives in accordance with the requirements in these regulations. 
Emphasis will be placed on determining the extent to which services are 
coordinated among health care providers in the area served and 
integrated into a cohesive plan for delivery of service to groups having 
the highest incidence of venereal disease.
    (4) The capacity of the applicant to make effective use of Federal 
funds.
    (5) The commitment of the applicant to the control of venereal 
disease as reflected in the commitment of applicant resources to the 
program.
