Timeline

The Department will hold two rounds of competition for the grants. Applications for the first round will be due January 19, 2010. Peer reviewers will evaluate the applications and the Department will announce the winners of the first round of funding in Spring 2010.

Applications for the second round will be due June 1, 2010, with the announcement of all winners by September 30, 2010.

States that apply for the first round of funding but are not awarded grants may reapply for funding in the second round (together with those States that are applying for the first time in the second round). First round winners receive full-sized awards, and so do not apply for additional funding in the second round.
