  Sensitivities of nuclear reaction rates to a variation of nuclear properties
are studied. Target nuclei range from proton- to neutron-dripline for
10<=Z<=83. Reactions considered are nucleon- and alpha-induced reactions
mediated by the strong interaction. The contribution of reactions proceeding on
the target ground state to the total stellar rate is also given. General
dependences on various input quantities are discussed. Additionally,
sensitivities of laboratory cross sections of nucleon-, alpha-, and
gamma-induced reactions are shown, allowing to estimate the impact of cross
section measurements. Finally, recommended procedures to explore and improve
reaction rate uncertainties using the present sensitivity data are outlined.
