SUMMARY: On March 21, 2024, the Department published in the Federal
Register a notice inviting applications (NIA) for the FY 2024 Technical
Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for
Children with Disabilities--The National Center for Systemic
Improvement competition, Assistance Listing Number 84.326R. The
Department is correcting the NIA by decreasing the estimated available
funds and updating the maximum award amounts as well as extending the
deadline date for transmittal of applications until May 22, 2024 and
the deadline for intergovernmental review until July 22, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of March 21, 2024,
we published the NIA in the Federal Register (89 FR 20184). The NIA
established a deadline date of May 20, 2024, for the transmittal of
applications. We are extending the deadline date for transmittal of
applications, because the Grants.gov platform will be closed for site
maintenance from May 18-21, 2024. Since applicants will be unable to
submit applications or work in the Grants.gov system during that time,
we are extending the deadline to allow applicants additional time to
complete and submit their applications. Following the publication of
the NIA, the President signed the Further Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-47), on March 23, 2024. Title III of the Further
Consolidated Appropriations Act decreased funding for the Technical
Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for
Children with Disabilities program. Accordingly, we are correcting the
NIA to reflect the updated estimated available funds maximum award
amounts for this competition.
Applicants that have already submitted applications under this
competition 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 was last successfully submitted and received by 11:59:59 p.m.,
Eastern Time on the application deadline.
Note: All information in the NIA, including eligibility criteria,
remains the same, except for the estimated funding amount and maximum
award amounts.
Information about Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve
Services and Results for Children with Disabilities is available on the
Department's website at https://www2.ed.gov/programs/oseptad/index.html.
