All applicants are required to submit an application online through Grants.gov. Grants.gov is a single access point for over 1,000 grant programs offered by federal and other grant-making agencies.

Through Grants.gov you will be able to download a copy of the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit your application. You must search for the downloadable application package for this program by the CFDA number 84.031M or the Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-031424-002. If you experience problems submitting your application through Grants.gov, refer to the Support page and/or contact the Grants.gov Support Desk, toll free, at 1-800-518-4726.

Review Process

Peer Reviewers (field readers) are periodically needed for the program's reviewer pool for grant competitions. To streamline the grant application and review process, the Office of Postsecondary Education's Field Reader System (FRS) has been retired and all reviewer information has been migrated to the Department’s G5 system. Follow the instructions in the G5 system and/or contact the program office for additional assistance about the review process.
