individuals and organizations may apply for funding to continue 
development of the framework for voluntary adult literacy standards 
currently being developed by the NIFL Equipped for the Future grantees. 
Evaluations to determine successful applications will be made using the

maximum of three cooperative agreement awards for a period of up to 3 
years.
