The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the New Jersey Department of Education $10.527 million on July 1, 2026, under the Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program (CFDA 84.367).

NJDOE distributes sub-awards through this grant to local educational agencies, school districts, and other service providers across New Jersey to implement these activities at the local level. The performance period runs from July 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Hamilton Township, New Jersey. As a formula grant recipient, NJDOE administers the program under an approved application and must maintain program records for three years from the date of its final expenditure report.
