SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 4, 2020, we published the NIA for the
FY 2021 Education Research and Special Education Research Grant
Programs competitions in the Federal Register (85 FR 26445). We are
reopening this competition in order to allow applicants, including
personnel that are critical to the preparation and submission of
applications, more time to prepare and submit applications that were
delayed by the severe storm disaster declaration in Iowa or the
wildfire disaster declarations in California, Nevada, Oregon, and
Washington.
Eligibility: The extension of the application deadline date in this
notice applies to eligible applicants under the FY 2021 Education
Research and Special Education Research Grant Programs competitions,
CFDA numbers 84.305A, 84.305B, 84.305C, 84.305R, 84.324A, 84.324B,
84.324P, and 84.324R, that are affected by Fire Management Assistance
Declarations in California (FEMA Disaster designations 5331, 5332,
5329), Nevada (FEMA Disaster designation 5328), Oregon (FEMA Disaster
designation 5327), and Washington (FEMA Disaster designation 5330) and
a Major Disaster Declaration in Iowa (FEMA Disaster designation 4557).
See www.fema.gov/disasters/.
Each application submitted under this Notice must include an
assurance that the applicant meets the eligibility requirements for the
jurisdictions covered by the FEMA designations noted above. The
assurance may either be based on (1) the location of the applicant
institution or (2) the location(s) of the essential staff, in which
case the explanation should include the name(s) and remote work
location(s) for the personnel or consultants key to the preparation of
the application.
Applicants that are eligible for an extension under this notice
(because they are located in, or have personnel or consultants that are
critical to the timely development and submission of applications who
are located in, one of the areas described in the preceding paragraph)
and have already timely submitted applications under the FY 2021
Education Research and Special Education Research Grant Programs
competitions may resubmit applications but are not required to do so.
If a new application is not submitted, the Department will use the
application that was submitted by the original deadline. If a new
application is submitted, the Department will consider the application
that is last submitted and timely received. Applications that did not
meet the original deadline must use the application package for the
reopened competition, available at grants.gov, to be considered for
review.
Note: All information in the NIA for this competition remains
the same, except for the deadline for the transmittal of
applications.
