Update #4 · Latest ·
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) has been modified to extend the application deadline for the Northern Marianas Islands and Guam to no later than 11:59 p.m., Tuesday, November 20, 2018 due to the devastating effects of Typhoon Yutu. This FOA was previously modified to extend the application deadline for North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia to no later than 11:59 p.m., Tuesday, November 20, 2018 due to Hurricanes Florence and Michael. The application deadline for all other States will remain no later than 11:59 p.m., Tuesday, November 6, 2018. In addition, content is changed in the published announcement in Section I. Project Description, with additional language added to the definition of "State entity", clarifying that a "State entity" can either be a State government agency or a non-profit, nongovernmental entity. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), in consultation with the Department of Education (ED), will be soliciting applications from eligible States and Territories to carry out the activities of the Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG B-5). The new PDG B-5 grant seeks to empower State governments to develop, update, or implement a strategic plan to facilitate collaboration and coordination among early childhood care and education programs in a mixed delivery system to prepare low-income and disadvantaged children to transition into the local educational agency or elementary school. States may pursue a range of activities as outlined in this announcement to align and strengthen existing funding streams, coordinate delivery models, improve the use of existing resources, encourage partnerships among providers and stakeholders, and maximize parental choice in a mixed delivery system.
