Funding Status

2009

Type of Award: Discretionary grant
Estimated Available Funds: $1,277,480
Estimated Range of Awards:

  • For State educational agencies (SEAs), $500,000-$750,000
  • For local educational agencies (LEAs), $250,000-$500,000
  • We anticipate that applicants who request funding at the higher end of these ranges would respond to the competitive preference priority to implement experimental or quasi-experimental designs.

Estimated Average Size of Awards:
For SEAs, $600,000 for each 12-month budget period
For LEAs, $350,000 for each 12-month budget period
Minimum Award: Pursuant to Section 5431(a)(4) of the ESEA, SEAs must propose a total budget that is $500,000 or more for a single budget period. This restriction does not apply to applications from LEAs.
Estimated Number of Awards: 2
Project Period: Up to 48 months, of which no more than 12 months may be used for planning and program design.

The Administration’s budget request for FY 2009 does not include funds for this program. However, the Administration requested $23,824,000 for character activities, of which an estimated $1,277,480 would be available for this competition. The actual level of funding, if any, depends on final congressional action. However, we are inviting applications to allow enough time to complete the grant process if Congress appropriates funds for this program.

Contingent upon the availability of funds and the quality of applications, we may make additional awards in FY 2009 and subsequent fiscal years from the list of unfunded applicants from this competition.
