Notice Inviting Applications for Comprehensive Center Programs
In FY2021 the Department anticipates making a new 5-year grant award for the National Comprehensive Center on Improving Literacy for Students with Disabilities under the authority provided in section 2244 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015. The 5-year grant award will be a cooperative agreement for a comprehensive center designed to improve literacy skills for students at risk of not attaining full literacy skills due to a disability, including dyslexia, and ultimately better prepare these students to compete in a global economy. On March 12, 2021, the Department published a Notice of Proposed Priority, Requirement, and Definitions for this grant competition in the Federal Register for public comment. Comments are due by April 12, 2021.
