SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On March 19, 2024, we published in the Federal Register (89 FR 19572) the NIA for the National Center on Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, and Other Minority Serving Institutions to Diversify the Workforce Serving Children with Disabilities. Under the NIA, applications were due on May 15, 2024. No applications received in response to the NIA were funded because the applicants did not adequately address the selection criteria for the competition and did not have the necessary partners in place to adequately carryout the technical assistance described in the NIA.

Therefore, we are reopening the competition to allow applicants to submit or resubmit applications that meet the requirements in the NIA, in order to ensure that Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, and other Minority Serving Institutions that offer high-quality degree or certification programs in early intervention, early childhood special education, special education, or related services receive the technical assistance necessary to implement high-quality personnel preparation programs.

OSEP will host a virtual office hours session for interested applicants in early July. Please see https://www2.ed.gov/ fund/grant/apply/osep/new-osep-grants.html for the pre-recorded webinar and further information on the office hours.

Applicants that have already submitted applications under the FY 2024 competition are encouraged to review their applications and determine whether they have met all eligibility requirements and adequately addressed the selection criteria in the NIA and the application package, which is available at www.grants.gov.

Applications that were previously submitted for this competition, including those deemed ineligible for review, must be resubmitted to be considered for review.

Eligibility: The extended application deadline applies to all eligible applicants under the National Center on Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, and Other Minority Serving Institutions to Diversify the Workforce Serving Children with Disabilities competition.

An eligible applicant for this competition is defined in the NIA.

Note: All information in the NIA remains the same, except for the extended date for the transmittal of applications and the deadline for intergovernmental review.
