The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) is announcing the Promoting Student Achievement at Schools Impacted by Military Force Structure Changes grant competition and requesting letters of intent and concept papers. Approximately $30 million is expected to be awarded, depending on availability of funding. The period of performance is expected to be 39 months (01 Jul 2009-30 Sept 2012). Awards will be based on military student enrollment and will range in size from $300,000 to $2,000,000, depending on the number of military students at the target schools. The Department's aim is to enhance the education of military students, but funds may be used to raise student achievement for all students at the target school(s). Projects will enhance student learning opportunities, student achievement, and educator professional development at military- connected schools that are experiencing significant military growth between 2007 and 2009 due to force structure changes based on the Report to Congress (March 2008). The Department has a priority of awarding grants to schools with low student achievement.

Concept papers are expected to be reviewed in March, 2009; full proposals, in June, 2009. Awards are expected to be made on or about July 1, 2009.
