Education Research Grant Programs. 

Applications for New Awards. CFDA 

Nos: 84.305A, 84.305B, 84.305D,

SUMMARY: On March 6, 2012, the 

Institute of Education Sciences in the 

U.S. Department of Education published 

in the Federal Register (77 FR 13297) a 

notice inviting applications for new 

awards for fiscal year 2013 for the 

Education Research and Special 

Education Research Grant Programs. 

This notice makes several corrections to 

the March 6, 2012, notice inviting 

applications (March 6 NIA). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

March 6 NIA, the Department 

announced 13 competitions to be held 

under the Education Research and 

Special Education Research Grant 

Programs. The chart at the end of the 

March 6 NIA (see 77 FR 13297, 13302– 

13303) provided competition-specific 

information, including the dates 

application packages would be available 

as well as the deadline dates for 

applications. The entries in the chart 

corresponding to the following three 

competitions contained errors: Research 

on Statistical and Research 

Methodology in Education (CFDA 

84.305D), Evaluation of State and Local 

Education Programs and Policies (CFDA 

84.305E), and Researcher-Practitioner 

Partnerships in Education Research 

(CFDA 84.305H). Following is a 

description of the errors along with the 

correct information: 

For the CFDA 84.305D competition: 

We indicated that the application 

package would be available on July 19, 

2012; however, the correct date the 

application package will be available is 

April 19, 2012. 

We also indicated that that the 

deadline for transmittal of applications 

would be September 20, 2012; however, 

the correct deadline is June 21, 2012. 

For the CFDA 84.305E competition: 

We indicated that the application 

package would be available on April 19, 

2012; however, the correct date the 

application package will be available is 

July 19, 2012. 

We also indicated that that the 

deadline for transmittal of applications 

would be June 21, 2012; however, the 

correct deadline is September 20, 2012. 

For the CFDA 84.305H competition: 

We indicated that the estimated range 

of awards was $100,000 to $400,000; 

however, the correct range is $50,000 to 

$200,000. 

We also incorrectly indicated that the 

project period for this grant would be up 

to 3 years; the corrected project period 

is up to 2 years. 

For these reasons, we correct the chart 

containing this information. On pages 

13302–13303 of the March 6 NIA, the 

chart is corrected to appear as follows:
