    Abstract
    
        The National Literacy Act of 1991 established the National 
    Institute for Literacy (NIFL) and required that the NIFL conduct basic 
    and applied research and demonstrations on literacy, collect and 
    dissemination information of Federal, State and local entities with 
    respect to literacy; and improve and expand the system for delivery of 
    literacy services. This form will be used by current grantees in NIFL's 
    Equipped for the Future (EFF) planning grant program. They are the only 
    eligible applicants for funding under this program to implement the 
    long-range strategic plans developed during the current grant period. 
    Evaluations to determine successful applications will be made using the 
    published criteria. The Institute will use this information to make a 
    maximum of three cooperative agreement awards for a period of up to 3 
    years.
