Version History

Version Modification Description Updated Date
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 9, 2022, we published the NIA in the Federal Register (87 FR 7433). Following the publication of the NIA, the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying Division H of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Pub. L. 117-103) indicated an intent by Congress to provide no less than $9,000,000 from the amount appropriated for the Educational Technology, Media, and Materials Program for a new Educational Materials in Accessible Formats for Eligible Children and Students With Disabilities competition.

Accordingly, we are amending the NIA to notify prospective applicants that we are increasing the estimated available funds and maximum award amount. Applicants that have already submitted applications under the FY 2022 Educational Materials in Accessible Formats for Eligible
Children and Students With Disabilities competition may resubmit applications, but are not required to do so. If a new application is not submitted, the Department will use the application that was submitted by the deadline. If a new application is submitted, the Department will consider the most recent application submitted before the deadline of April 11, 2022.

Other than the estimated available funds and maximum award amount, all other requirements and conditions stated in the NIA remain the same.

Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1474 and 1481.
