The discussion may be qualitative or include quantitative estimates of uncertainty and variability. While variability and uncertainty are distinct issues and should be considered separately in each analysis, in practice, the available data may not be sufficient to distinguish between them. Risk assessments may be based on deterministic or probabilistic modeling. Probabilistic modeling uses probability distributions for some or all inputs in conjunction with statistical techniques such as Monte Carlo analysis, and results in a distribution of exposure or risk estimates, providing quantification of uncertainty and variability. Deterministic modeling enters point estimates for the model’s inputs and results in a point estimate of the exposure or risk. Separate uncertainty analysis may be used with a deterministic approach to characterize the range of the most likely exposure and risk. Because exposure and risk assessments are conducted for different reasons, the ultimate use of the assessment results will help determine the methodological approaches and techniques to be used. The choice of approach may be based on considerations of the available scientific information, institutional policies, available time and resources, and limitations of the methods. For example, deterministic techniques may be appropriate for initial analyses that are often under time and resource constraints; however, the use of multiple protective values in a deterministic analysis may lead to unintentionally protective results, i.e., compounding safety factors. A probabilistic assessment may be used to generate information on the distribution of exposure and risk in a population or to explore the uncertainty in the true, but unknown risk to an individual, but the risk assessor must consider that sparse data or poorly fitting distributions to the data for one or more model inputs could lead to inappropriate conclusions about the results, particularly at the tails of the distribution, which may be most sensitive to deficiencies in the data. A probabilistic model may be sensitive to correlations between input variables; the presence of correlations and dependence among variables and their effects on the output should be considered. A carcinogenic risk of one per million or less is the guidelines’ default level for VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:48 Apr 22, 2024 Jkt 262001 defining acceptable risk (16 CFR 1500.135(d)(4)(i)). In a deterministic analysis, one per million is compared directly with the risk value that results from the analysis. Interpretation of probabilistic results should be based in part on the relationship of the central tendency estimate (e.g., mean or median, as appropriate for the specific distribution) to the one per million acceptable risk level, but all characteristics of the resulting distribution should be considered. For assessment of non-carcinogens in a deterministic assessment, the exposure estimate is compared directly with the ADI, or the hazard index (HI) is calculated as the ratio of the estimated exposure to the ADI (HI greater than one means that the exposure may be hazardous; HI less than one represents negligible risk). Probabilistic results should be interpreted in part by comparing the central tendency estimate to the acceptable daily intake, but all characteristics of the resulting distribution should be considered. The guidance for interpretation of both cancer and non-cancer exposure and risk are intended to facilitate the assessment process, but in practice, risk assessors and risk managers will consider the specific information in each case in defining acceptable exposure and risk.

Funding Opportunity Description Purpose of Program: The CLSD program awards competitive grants to advance literacy skills through the use of evidence-based (as defined in this notice) practices, activities, and interventions, including pre-literacy skills, reading, and writing, for children from birth through grade 12, with an emphasis on disadvantaged children, including children living in poverty, English learners (as defined in this notice), and children with disabilities (as defined in this notice). Background: The Department’s ‘‘Raise the Bar: Lead the World’’ initiative is a call to action to transform preschool through grade 12 education and beyond, and to unite education leaders at all levels around evidence-based strategies that advance educational equity and excellence for all students.1 Raising the bar in education focuses on building the skills that all students need to thrive inside and outside of school, and supporting students to excel in the classroom, in their careers, and in their communities. Specifically, the Department is focused on improving student achievement, including in math and reading, as highlighted across Administration and Department efforts for the past several years. Building on the Administration’s previous efforts, in January 2024, the Administration announced its Improving Student Achievement Agenda,2 which aims to drive proven strategies that will support academic success for every child in school. The strategies and evidence discussed in the Improving Student Achievement Agenda focus on (1) increasing student attendance; (2) providing high-dosage tutoring; and (3) increasing summer learning and extended or afterschool learning time. These strategies and the broader Improving Student Achievement Agenda, including a focus on core academic instruction, are well aligned with the CLSD program purpose of statements will be treated as public documents and will be made available for public inspection, including, but not limited to, being posted on the Board’s website.

Through the FY 2024 CLSD competition, the Department encourages State educational agencies (SEAs) to focus on evidence-based activities that provide explicit intervention and support in reading and writing for children from birth to grade 12, including activities that have been implemented in response to identified literacy gaps and that have positive outcome data. SEAs should take into consideration the resources of the What Works Clearinghouse,3 including the literacy-focused Practice Guides and Intervention Reports on the most effective strategies for supporting student literacy and that are appropriate for the grade, age, and developmental level of the student. Highly effective, evidence-based literacy strategies covered in the Practice Guides, for example, include developing awareness of the segments of sounds in speech and how they link to letters; teaching students to decode words, analyze word parts, and write and recognize words; building students’ comprehension and decoding skills so they can read complex multisyllabic words; and providing purposeful fluency-building activities to help students read effortlessly. The What Works Clearinghouse Intervention Reports provide a summary of the highest quality research to help SEA and school district personnel identify the literacy interventions with the strongest evidence bases. The Department encourages SEAs to consult these Intervention Reports to inform their proposals and the technical assistance they provide to school districts. Another resource the Department encourages SEAs to use is the Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) National Literacy Center,4 which has a 3 The Department provides several resources related to evidence-based practices and interventions in literacy. For example, the Institute of Education Sciences’ What Works Clearinghouse (https://whatworks.ed.gov) has ten practice guides that offer evidence-based recommendations on literacy and/or writing that are applicable to preschool, elementary, and secondary school settings. Additionally, WWC Intervention Reports review the strength of evidence for branded interventions supporting literacy (and other) outcomes.
