Examples of Burdens and Avoidance Strategies
This page lists examples of potential root causes of burdens that may occur from program or project implementation that have been identified when implementing the Supplemental Guidance to Avoid Substantial Burdens or Harms to Priority Populations.
Definition of root cause: The fundamental or underlying reason for an issue or problem and are identified through a root cause analysis. For guidance on how to conduct a root cause analysis, see Root Cause Analysis Explained: Definition, Examples, and Methods.
Many of the following examples are compiled from strategies that administering agencies have implemented or strategies that have been suggested through community engagement. Some of these strategies can be implemented immediately while others may require training, research, or external support. Administering agencies can use this table to help identify root causes when conducting a root-cause analysis to support identifying potential burdens or finding solutions to known burdens that have been difficult to address.
