SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On December 20, 2021, the Department published an NIA for the SFEC competition in the Federal Register (86 FR 71880). However, the SFEC application package was not posted on Grants.gov until January 10, 2022. Therefore, we are extending the deadline for transmittal of applications for the competition by 21 days until March 11, 2022, at 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time. This extension will allow applicants more time to prepare and submit their applications. Applicants that have already timely submitted applications under the FY 2022 SFEC competition may resubmit applications but are not required to do so. If a new application is not submitted, the Department will use the application that was submitted by the original deadline. If a new application is submitted, the Department will consider the application that is last submitted and timely received.

All other requirements and conditions stated in the NIA remain the same.
