This FOA was previously modified to extend the application deadline for North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia to no later than 11:59 p.m., Tuesday, November 20, 2018 due to Hurricanes Florence and Michael. The application deadline for all other States will remain no later than 11:59 p.m., Tuesday, November 6, 2018. In addition, content is changed in the published announcement in Section I. Project Description, with additional language added to the definition of “State entity”, clarifying that a “State entity” can either be a State government agency or a non-profit, nongovernmental entity. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), in consultation with the Department of Education (ED), will be soliciting applications from eligible States and Territories to carry out the activities of the Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG B-5).
