Even Start Family Literacy Program Women's Prison Project; Notice
Inviting Applications for a New Award With Fiscal Year (FY) 1995 Funds
Note to Applicants: This notice is a complete application package.
Together with the statute authorizing the program and the Education
Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR), the notice
contains all of the information, application forms, and instructions
needed to apply for a grant under this competition.
Purpose of Program: The Even Start Family Literacy Program Women's
Prison grant is designed to help break the cycle of poverty and
illiteracy and improve the educational opportunities of low-income
families with mothers in prison by integrating early childhood
education, adult literacy or adult basic education, and parenting
education into a unified family literacy program of high quality. This
project, which must be located in a prison that houses women and their
preschool-aged children, will serve women inmates and their children,
birth through age seven. (For the purposes of this program, the
Secretary considers a prison to be a correctional institution that
houses inmates, most of whom are incarcerated in the institution for at
least one year.)
Eligible Applicants: A prison (other than a Federal prison) that
houses women and their preschool-aged children, an institution of
higher education, local educational agency, hospital, or other public
or private organization or entity. (A Federal prison may not apply for
these Federal funds. However, another eligible entity may apply for a
grant to operate this family literacy program in a Federal prison.)
Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: August 7, 1996.
Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: October 7, 1996.
Available Funds: $200,000 (for the entire project period).
Number of Awards: 1.
Project Period: 24 months.
Applicable Regulations: The EDGAR as follows:
(1) 34 CFR Part 74 (Administration of Grants and Agreements with
Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and other Non-profit
Organizations), for applicants that are institutions of higher
education, hospitals, or other public or private organizations that are
not State educational agencies, local educational agencies, or Indian
tribes and tribal organizations.
(2) 34 CFR Part 75 (Direct Grant Programs).
(3) 34 CFR Part 77 (Definitions that Apply to Department
Regulations).
(4) 34 CFR Part 79 (Intergovernmental Review of Department of
Education Programs and Activities).
(5) 34 CFR Part 80 (Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants
and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments), for
applicants that are State or local governments, or federally recognized
Indian tribal governments.
(6) 34 CFR Part 81 (General Education Provisions Act--Enforcement).
(7) 34 CFR Part 82 (New Restrictions on Lobbying).
(8) 34 CFR Part 85 (Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension
(Nonprocurement) and Governmentwide Requirements for Drug-Free
Workplace (Grants)).
Description of Program: Under the authority of section 1202(a)(2)
of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the Assistant
Secretary of Elementary and Secondary Education will award one Even
Start Family Literacy grant to an eligible applicant to plan and
implement a family literacy program of high quality, that integrates
adult literacy or adult basic education (including, as appropriate,
English as a second language), parenting education, and early childhood
education, in a prison that houses women and their preschool-aged
children. This family literacy project will serve female inmates and
their children birth through age seven. The children are eligible
participants in the project whether or not they reside in the prison.
Some project activities may be located outside the prison. The
Secretary intends to award this grant for a 24-month period.
Eligible participants. Eligible participants are--
1. Female prison inmates who participate in the project with one or
more of their eligible children, and who--
Are eligible for participation in an adult basic education
program under the Adult Education Act; or
Are within the State's compulsory school attendance age
range; and
2. The child or children, from birth through age seven, of an
individual described in paragraph 1 (whether or not the child resides
in the prison).
(Note: Family members of eligible participants described in
paragraphs one and two, above, also may participate in Even Start
Family Literacy Program activities when appropriate to serve Even
Start purposes. In addition, under section 1206(b)(2) of the ESEA,
participants remain eligible for Even Start Family Literacy services
until all eligible participants in a family become ineligible for
participation. For example, in the case of a participating family in
which the mother becomes ineligible due to educational advancement,
the family would remain eligible until the participating children
reach age eight.)
Federal and local funding. The Even Start Family Literacy Program
Women's Prison grant funding comprises both a Federal portion of funds
(Federal share) and a portion contributed by the eligible applicant
(local project share). The Federal share of the project may not
exceed--
90 percent of the total cost of the program in the first
year; and
80 percent of the total cost of the program in the second
year.
The local share of the project may be provided in cash or in kind
and may be obtained from any source, including other Federal programs
funded by the ESEA.
Indirect costs. Funds under this grant may not be used for the
indirect costs of an Even Start Family Literacy Program Women's Prison
grant project.
National Evaluation: The Secretary suggests that each applicant
budget for evaluation activities as follows: a project with an
estimated cost of up to $120,000 should designate $5,000 for this
purpose; a project with an estimated cost of over $120,000 should
designate $10,000 for these activities. These funds will be used for
expenditures related to the collection and aggregation of data required
for the Department's national evaluation. The Secretary also recommends
that projects budget for the cost of travel to Washington, DC, and two
nights' lodging for the project director and the project evaluator, for
their participation in annual evaluation meetings.
Waiver of Reporting Requirement: Under the EDGAR, an applicant
generally must submit an annual performance report to the Department.
(See 34 CFR 74.51, 75.720, and 80.40.) However, in the interest of
reducing burden at the local level, the Secretary has determined that a
performance report is unnecessary until the end of the 24-month project
period, and therefore waives the requirement for a performance report
at the end of the first year. This waiver is in accordance with the
Secretary's authority under these regulations.
Invitational Priority: Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(1) and section
1202(a)(2) of the ESEA (20 U.S.C. 6362(a)(2)), the Secretary is
particularly interested in applications that meet the following
invitational priority. However, an applicant that meets this
invitational priority does not receive competitive or

The applicant's proposed project includes the following:
(1) A recruitment and intake procedure for participants that
involves extensive participant preparation for the family literacy
program and an established agreement with the participants to
participate for a specified minimum length of time sufficient to meet
the program's purposes.
(2) An intensity of services in parenting education, adult literacy
or adult basic education, and early childhood education.
(3) Active involvement of participants in planning and implementing
the project.
(4) Integration with other educational and related activities

competition.
(2) The maximum composite score for all of these criteria is 100
points.
(3) The maximum score for each criterion is indicated in
parentheses.
(b) The Criteria.--(1) Meeting the purposes of the authorizing

Instructions for Part III--Application Narrative
Before preparing the Application Narrative, an applicant should
read carefully the description of the program, the information about
the invitational priority, and the selection criteria the Secretary
uses to evaluate applications.
The narrative should encompass each function or activity for which
funds are being requested and should--
1. Begin with an Abstract; that is, a summary of the proposed
project;
2. Describe the proposed project in light of the invitational
priority and each of the selection criteria, in the order in which the
criteria are listed in this application package;
3. Provide the following in response to the attached ``Notice to
all Applicants'': (1) a reference to the portion of the application in
which information appears as to how the applicant is addressing steps
to promote equitable access and participation, or (2) a separate
statement that contains that information;
4. For any applicant other than the State educational agency (SEA),
include a copy of the signed set of assurances specified in section
14306(a) of the ESEA (20 USC 8856(a)) that the applicant has filed with
its SEA for this grant application; and
5. Include any other pertinent information that might assist the
Secretary in reviewing the application.
The Secretary strongly requests that the applicant limit the
Application Narrative to no more than 20 double-spaced, typed pages on
one side only, although the Secretary will consider applications of
greater length. The Department has found that successful applications
for similar programs generally meet this page limit.

Notice to All Applicants
Thank you for your interest in this program. The purpose of this
enclosure is to inform you about a new provision in the Department of
Education's General Education Provisions Act (GEPA) that applies to
applicants for new grant awards under Department programs. This
provision is section 427 of GEPA, enacted as part of the Improving
America's Schools Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-382).
To Whom Does This Provision Apply?
Section 427 of GEPA affects applicants for new discretionary grant
awards under this program. ALL APPLICANTS FOR NEW AWARDS MUST INCLUDE
INFORMATION IN THEIR APPLICATIONS TO ADDRESS THIS NEW PROVISION IN
ORDER TO RECEIVE FUNDING UNDER THIS PROGRAM.
What Does This Provision Require?
Section 427 requires each applicant for funds (other than an
individual person) to include in its application a description of the
steps the applicant proposes to take to ensure equitable access to, and
participation in, its federally-assisted program for students,
teachers, and other program beneficiaries with special needs.
This section allows applicants discretion in developing the
required description. The statute highlights six types of barriers that
can impede equitable access or participation that you may address:
gender, race, national origin, color, disability, or age. Based on
local circumstances, you can determine whether these or other barriers
may prevent your students, teachers, etc. from equitable access or
participation. Your description need not be lengthy; you may provide a
clear and succinct description of how you plan to address those
barriers that are applicable to your circumstances. In addition, the
information my be provided in a single narrative, or, if appropriate,
may be discussed in connection with related topics in the application.
Section 427 is not intended to duplicate the requirements of civil
rights statutes, but rather to ensure that, in designing their
projects, applicants for Federal funds address equity concerns that may
affect the ability of certain potential beneficiaries to fully
participate in the project and to achieve to high standards. Consistent
with program requirements and its approved application, an applicant
may use the Federal funds awarded to it to eliminate barriers it
identifies.
What are Examples of How an Applicant Might Satisfy the Requirement
of This Provision?
The following examples may help illustrate how an applicant may
comply with section 427.
(1) An applicant that proposes to carry out an adult literacy
project serving, among others, adults with limited English proficiency,
might describe in its application how it intends to distribute a
brochure about the proposed project to such potential participants in
their native language.
(2) An applicant that proposes to develop instructional materials
for classroom use might describe how it will make the materials
available on audio tape or in braille for students who are blind.
(3) An applicant that proposes to carry out a model science program
for secondary students and is concerned that girls may be less likely
than boys to enroll in the course, might indicate how it tends to
conduct ``outreach'' efforts to girls, to encourage their enrollment.
We recognize that many applicants may already be implementing
effective steps to ensure equity of access and participation in their
grant programs, and we appreciate your cooperation in responding to the
requirements of this provision.
Estimated Burden Statement
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are
required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this
information collection is 1801-0004 (Exp. 8/31/98). The time required
to complete this information collection is estimated to vary from 1 to
3 hours per response, with an average of 1.5 hours, including the time
to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather and
maintain the data needed, and complete and review the information
collection. If you have any comments concerning the accuracy of the
time estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this form, please write
to: U.S. Department of Education, Washington, DC 20202-4651.
