Included in the CAN under the Research in Education of Individuals with Disabilities Program was a closing date for the Field-Initiated Research Projects competition, CFDA No. 84.023C. On October 30, 1995 an extension notice was published in the Federal Register (60 FR 55247) that revised the closing date for that competition to March 29, 1996. The purpose of this notice is to revise, once again, the closing date for the Field- Initiated Research Projects competition. DEADLINE FOR TRANSMITTAL OF APPLICATIONS: April 30, 1996. This action is taken in consideration of the current proposals in the Congress that either eliminate or substantially reduce funding for the program. Extending the closing date for this competition allows the Department and potential applicants time to consider further developments related to the fiscal year 1996 appropriation.
