The LAC/RSD Department is offering grants for Early-Grade Reading Improvement Interventions. This initiative aims to solicit concept papers from prospective applicants seeking federal funding. The application process is two-tiered: initially, organizations must submit a concept paper for review. If favorable, the Technical Evaluation Committee may invite a full technical and cost proposal. Importantly, only concept papers are currently being accepted; full proposals are not. The APS details eligible activities, available funding, and requirements for concept submission. LAC/RSD anticipates awarding multiple cooperative agreements to support promising interventions in early-grade reading.
