For this competition, applicants are required to submit their applications electronically through the Department's Electronic Grant Application System (e-Application). In order to accommodate a move of the e- Application system, which will result in the unavailability of the system on the original deadline date, we are extending the deadline date for transmittal of applications for the Teaching American History program FY 2006 competition. DATES: Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: February 9, 2006. (Applications must be received by e-Application no later than 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time.)

You may not e- mail an electronic copy of a grant application to us. For information about how to submit your application electronically, please refer to section IV. 6. Other Submission Requirements in the December 6, 2005 notice (70 FR 72624).
