The Institute will award grants of no more than $5 million for Priority 1 and grants of no more than $4 million for Priorities 2 and 3. Eligible State educational agencies may submit applications to address only one of the three priorities. Applications that address more than one priority will not be considered responsive to this Request for Applications and will not be considered.
Only State educational agencies are eligible to apply. The State educational agencies of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands are included, however, for this competition only, applications will not be considered from the 20 State educational agencies that received SLDS ARRA grants in May 2010.
