-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose of Program
To expand the operation, throughout the Hawaiian Islands, of
Family-Based Education Centers that include: (1) Parent-infant programs
for prenatal through three-year-olds; (2) preschool programs for four-
and five-year-olds; (3) continued research and development; and (4) a
long-term follow-up and assessment program, which may include
educational support services for Native Hawaiian language immersion
programs or transition to English speaking programs.
Eligible Applicants
Native Hawaiian educational organizations or educational entities
with experience in developing or operating Native Hawaiian programs or
programs of instruction conducted in the Native Hawaiian language.
Applications Available: July 19, 1999.
Applications Must Be Received By: August 17, 1999.
Note: Applications must be received on or before the deadline
date. Applications received after that time will not be eligible for
funding. Postmarked dates will not be accepted.
This requirement takes exception to the Education Department
General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR), 34 CFR 75.102 Under the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553), the Department generally
offers interested partied the opportunity to comment on proposed
regulations. However, this exception to EDGAR makes procedural changes
only and does not establish new substantive policy. Therefore, under 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(A), the Secretary has determined that proposed rulemaking
is not required.
Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: August 17, 1999.
Available Funds: $475,000.
Estimated Number of Awards: 1-2.
Estimated Size of Awards: $200,000-$475,000.
Note: These estimates are projections for the guidance of
potential applicants. The Department is not bound by any estimates
in this notice.
Project Period: Up to 36 months.
Applicable Regulations: The Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in 34 CFR Parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 81,
82, and 85.
Supplementary Information: A notice inviting applications for new
awards under the Native Hawaiian Family-Based Education Centers Program
was published in the Federal Register on April 6, 1999 (64 FR 16718).
In response to this notice, the Secretary did not receive a sufficient
number of quality applications to allocate all of the funds available
under this program. Therefore, the Secretary is conducting a new
competition and inviting applications for the remaining $475,000
available under the Native Hawaiian Family-Based Education Centers.
Applicants should refer to the April 6, 1999 notice inviting
applications (64 FR 16718) in developing their proposals for funding.
Applicants are reminded that all proposals must meet the requirements
of the Native Hawaiian Family-Based Education Centers Program (20
U.S.C. 7905). Applications will be reviewed on the basis of the
selection criteria announced in the April 6, 1999 notice inviting
applications.
