SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On February 22, 2024, we published the NIA in the Federal Register (89 FR 13315). The NIA established a deadline date of April 22, 2024, for the transmittal of applications. We are extending the deadline date for transmittal of applications, because the Grants.gov platform will be closed for site maintenance from April 20–23, 2024. Since applicants will be unable to submit applications or work in the Grants.gov system during that time, we are extending the deadline to allow applicants additional time to complete and submit their applications. Applicants that have submitted applications before the original deadline date of April 22, 2024, may resubmit their applications on or before the new application deadline date of April 25, 2024, 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 was last successfully submitted and received by 11:59:59 p.m., eastern time, on April 25, 2024.

Note: All information in the NIA, including eligibility criteria, remains the same, except for the deadline for the transmittal of applications and the deadline for intergovernmental review.
