Department of Education December 10, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Education (Department) is issuing a notice inviting applications for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2022 for the Research Networks Focused on Critical Problems of Education Policy and Practice, and the Improving Pandemic Recovery Efforts in Education Agencies, Assistance Listing Numbers 84.305N and 84.305X. This notice relates to the approved information collection under OMB control number 4040-0001.

In order to support a comprehensive and ambitious education agenda, the Secretary issues six priorities and related definitions for use in currently authorized discretionary grant programs or programs that may be authorized in the future. The Secretary may choose to use an entire priority for a grant program or a particular competition or use one or more of the priority's subparts. These priorities and definitions replace the Supplemental Priorities published in the Federal Register on March 2, 2018, the Opportunity Zones final priority published on November 27, 2019, and the Remote Learning priority published on December 30, 2020. However, if a notice inviting applications (NIA) published before the effective date of this notice of final priorities and definitions included one or more of those priorities, the included priorities apply to that competition.
