Electronic Submission of
Applications:
We are participating as a partner in
the Government-wide Grants.gov site.
Submit applications electronically using
Grants.gov and do not email them
unless explicitly allowed.
A Grants.gov applicant must apply
online using Workspace, a shared
environment where members of a grant
team may simultaneously access and
edit different web forms within an
application. An applicant can create an
individual Workspace for each
application and establish for that
application a collaborative application
package that allows more than one
person in the applicant’s organization to
work concurrently on an application.
The Grants.gov system also enables the
applicant to reuse forms from previous
submissions, check them in and out to
complete them, and submit the
application package. For access to
further instructions on how to apply
using Grants.gov, refer to:
www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/
apply-for-grants.html.
You may access the electronic grant
applications at www.Grants.gov. You
must search for the downloadable
application package for this program by
the CFDA number. Do not include the

Please note the following:
Applicants needing assistance with
Grants.gov may contact the Grants.gov
Support Center either by calling 1–800–
518–4726 or by sending an email to
support@grants.gov. The Grants.gov
Support Center is available 24 hours a

with their applications should contact
the Department as directed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section
specified in this notice during normal
business hours and no later than 5:00
p.m., Eastern Time, on the application
deadline date.
The amount of time it can take to
upload an application will vary
depending on a variety of factors,
including the size of the application and
the speed of your internet connection.
Therefore, we recommend that you
leave yourself plenty of time to
complete your submission.
Applications received by Grants.gov
are date- and time-stamped upon
submission. Your application must be
fully uploaded and submitted and must
be date- and time-stamped by the
Grants.gov system no later than 11:59:59
p.m., Eastern Time, on September 30,

Discretionary Grant Programs,
published in the Federal Register on
February 13, 2019 (84 FR 3768) and
available at https://
www.federalregister.gov/d/2019-02206,
we will not accept your application if it
is received—that is, date- and timestamped by the Grants.gov system—after
11:59:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the
application deadline date. We do not
consider an application that does not
comply with the deadline requirements.
When we retrieve your application from
Grants.gov, we will notify you if we are
rejecting your application because it
was late. Receipt of a date- and timestamp does not mean that your
application meets program eligibility
requirements described in the
application package.
You can find the Education
Submission Procedures pertaining to
Grants.gov under News and Events on
the Department’s G5 system home page
at www.G5.gov. In addition, for specific

After you electronically submit your
application, you will receive from
Grants.gov an automatic notification of
receipt that contains a Grants.gov
tracking number. Grants.gov also will
notify you automatically by email if
your application met all of the
Grants.gov validation requirements or if
there were any errors (such as
submission of your application by
someone other than a registered
Authorized Organization Representative
(AOR), issues with your Data Universal
Numbering System (DUNS) number, or
inclusion of an attachment with a file
name that contains special characters).
You will be given an opportunity to
correct any errors and resubmit, but you
must still meet the deadline for
submission of your application.
Once your application is successfully
validated by Grants.gov, the Department
will retrieve your application from
Grants.gov and send you an email with
a unique PR/Award number for your
application.
Email confirmations and receipts from
Grants.gov do not indicate receipt by the
Department, nor do they mean that your
application is complete or has met all
application requirements. While your
application may have been successfully
validated by Grants.gov, it also must be
reviewed in accordance with the
Department’s application requirements
as specified in the Certification and
Agreement and in these application
instructions. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your submitted application
has met all of the Department’s
requirements. Additionally, we may
request that you provide us original
signatures on forms at a later date.

Applicants needing assistance with Grants.gov may contact the
Grants.gov Support Center either by calling 1-800-518-4726 or by
sending an email to [email protected]. The Grants.gov Support Center
is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except for Federal
holidays. Applicants needing assistance from Principal Office staff
with their applications should contact the Department as directed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section specified in this notice during
normal business hours and no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the
application deadline date.
The amount of time it can take to upload an application will vary
depending on a variety of factors, including the size of the
application and the speed of your internet connection. Therefore, we
recommend that you leave yourself plenty of time to complete your
submission.
Applications received by Grants.gov are date- and time-stamped upon
submission. Your application must be fully uploaded and submitted and
must be date- and time-stamped by the Grants.gov system no later than
11:59:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 30, 2020. Except as specified
in the Department's Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of
Education Discretionary Grant Programs, published in the Federal
Register on February 13, 2019 (84 FR 3768) and available at https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2019-02206, we will not accept your
application if it is received_that is, date- and time-stamped by the
Grants.gov system--after 11:59:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the
application deadline date. We do not consider an application that does
not comply with the deadline requirements. When we retrieve your
application from Grants.gov, we will notify you if we are rejecting
your application because it was late. Receipt of a date- and time-stamp
does not mean that your application meets program eligibility
requirements described in the application package.
You can find the Education Submission Procedures pertaining to
Grants.gov under News and Events on the Department's G5 system home
page at www.G5.gov. In addition, for specific guidance and procedures
for submitting an application through Grants.gov, please refer to the
Grants.gov website at: www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/apply-for-grants.html.
After you electronically submit your application, you will receive
from Grants.gov an automatic notification of receipt that contains a
Grants.gov tracking number. Grants.gov also will notify you
automatically by email if your application met all of the Grants.gov
validation requirements or if there were any errors (such as submission
of your application by someone other than a registered Authorized
Organization Representative (AOR), issues with your Data Universal
Numbering System (DUNS) number, or inclusion of an attachment with a
file name that contains special characters). You will be given an
opportunity to correct any errors and resubmit, but you must still meet
the deadline for submission of your application.
Once your application is successfully validated by Grants.gov, the
Department will retrieve your application from Grants.gov and send you
an email with a unique PR/Award number for your application.
Email confirmations and receipts from Grants.gov do not indicate
receipt by the Department, nor do they mean that your application is
complete or has met all application requirements. While your
application may have been successfully validated by Grants.gov, it also
must be reviewed in accordance with the Department's application
requirements as specified in the Certification and Agreement and in
these application instructions. It is your responsibility to ensure
that your submitted application has met all of the Department's
requirements. Additionally, we may request that you provide us original
signatures on forms at a later date.
