DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

[CFDA No. 84.116K]


Funding Down Slate; Training for Real-Time Writers (TRTW) Program

AGENCY: Office of Postsecondary Education, Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice of intent to fund down the grant slate from fiscal year 
(FY) 2010.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Secretary intends to use the grant slate developed in FY 
2010 for the TRTW Program authorized by Section 872 of the Higher 
Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), 20 U.S.C. 1161s, to make new 
grant awards in FY 2011. The Secretary takes this action because a 
significant number of high-quality applications remain on the FY 2010 
grant slate and limited funding is available for new grant awards in FY 
2011. Specifically, we expect to use an estimated $998,000 for new 
awards in FY 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 2, 2010, we published a notice in the Federal Register (75 
FR 38510) inviting applications for FY 2010 for new awards under the 
TRTW Program (FY 2010 NIA).
    In response to the FY 2010 NIA, we received a significant number of 
high-quality applications for grants under the TRTW Program and made 
four grant awards. Because such a large number of high-quality 
applications were received, many applications that received high scores 
by peer reviewers did not receive funding.
    To conserve funding that would be required for a peer review of new 
grant applications submitted under this program and to instead use 
those funds to support grant activities, we will select grantees in FY 
2011 from the existing slate of applicants developed during the FY 2010 
competition using the priority, selection criteria, and application 
requirements referenced in the Federal Register notice published on 
July 2, 2010.

    Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1161s.
