Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the MEP Consortium Incentive Grant 

program is to provide incentive grants to 

State educational agencies (SEAs) that 

participate in a consortium with one or 

more other SEAs or other appropriate 

entities to improve the delivery of 

services to migrant children whose 

education is interrupted. Through this 

program, the Department provides 

financial incentives to SEAs to 

participate in high-quality consortia to 

improve the intrastate and interstate 

coordination of migrant education 

programs by addressing key needs of 

migratory children whose education is 

interrupted. 

Priorities: These priorities are from 

the notice of final requirements for this 

program, published in the Federal 

Register on March 3, 2004 (69 FR 

10110), and from the notice of final 

priority for this program, published in 

the Federal Register on March 12, 2008 

(73 FR 13217). 

Absolute Priorities: For FY 2015, these 

priorities are absolute priorities. Under 

34 CFR 75.105(c)(3), we consider only 

applications that meet one or more of 

these absolute priorities. In order for an 

SEA to be considered for an incentive 

grant, an application from a proposed 

consortium in which the SEA would 

participate must address one or more of 

the following absolute priorities: 

Priority 1: Services designed to 

improve the proper and timely 

identification and recruitment of 

eligible migratory children whose 

education is interrupted. 

Priority 2: Services designed (based 

on a review of scientifically based 

research) to improve the school 

readiness of preschool-aged migratory 

children whose education is 

interrupted. 

Priority 3: Services designed (based 

on a review of scientifically based 

research) to improve the reading 

proficiency of migratory children whose 

education is interrupted. 

Priority 4: Services designed (based 

on a review of scientifically based 

research) to improve the mathematics 

proficiency of migratory children whose 

education is interrupted. 

Priority 5: Services designed (based 

on a review of scientifically based 

research) to decrease the dropout rate of 

migratory students whose education is 

interrupted and improve their high 

school completion rate.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 24 / Thursday, February 5, 2015 / Notices 6503 

Priority 6: Services designed (based 

on a review of scientifically based 

research) to strengthen the involvement 

of migratory parents in the education of 

migratory students whose education is 

interrupted. 

Priority 7: Services designed (based 

on a review of scientifically based 

research) to expand access to innovative 

educational technologies intended to 

increase the academic achievement of 

migratory students whose education is 

interrupted. 

Priority 8: Services designed (based 

on a review of scientifically based 

research) to improve the educational 

attainment of out-of-school migratory 

youth whose education is interrupted.

CFR part 79. Information about 

Intergovernmental Review of Federal 

Programs under Executive Order 12372 

is in the application package for this

5. Funding Restrictions: We reference 

regulations outlining funding 

restrictions in the Applicable 

Regulations section in this notice. 

6. Data Universal Numbering System 

Number, Taxpayer Identification 

Number, and System for Award 

Management: To do business with the 

Department of Education, you must— 

a. Have a Data Universal Numbering 

System (DUNS) number and a Taxpayer 

Identification Number (TIN); 

b. Register both your DUNS number 

and TIN with the System for Award 

Management (SAM) (formerly the 

Central Contractor Registry (CCR)), the 

Government’s primary registrant 

database; 

c. Provide your DUNS number and 

TIN on your application; and 

d. Maintain an active SAM 

registration with current information 

while your application is under review 

by the Department and, if you are 

awarded a grant, during the project 

period. 

You can obtain a DUNS number from 

Dun and Bradstreet. A DUNS number 

can be created within one to two 

business days. 

If you are a corporate entity, agency, 

institution, or organization, you can 

obtain a TIN from the Internal Revenue 

Service. If you are an individual, you 

can obtain a TIN from the Internal 

Revenue Service or the Social Security 

Administration. If you need a new TIN, 

please allow 2–5 weeks for your TIN to 

become active. 

The SAM registration process can take 

approximately seven business days, but 

may take upwards of several weeks, 

depending on the completeness and 

accuracy of the data entered into the 

SAM database by an entity. Thus, if you 

think you might want to apply for 

Federal financial assistance under a 

program administered by the 

Department, please allow sufficient time 

to obtain and register your DUNS 

number and TIN. We strongly 

recommend that you register early. 

Note: Once your SAM registration is active, 

you will need to allow 24 to 48 hours for the 

information to be available in Grants.gov and 

before you can submit an application through 

Grants.gov. 

If you are currently registered with 

SAM, you may not need to make any 

changes. However, please make certain 

that the TIN associated with your DUNS 

number is correct. Also note that you 

will need to update your registration 

annually. This may take three or more 

business days. 

Information about SAM is available at 

www.SAM.gov. To further assist you 

with obtaining and registering your 

DUNS number and TIN in SAM or 

updating your existing SAM account, 

we have prepared a SAM.gov Tip Sheet, 

which you can find at: http://

www2.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/samfaqs.html. 

In addition, if you are submitting your 

application via Grants.gov, you must (1) 

be designated by your organization as an 

Authorized Organization Representative 

(AOR); and (2) register yourself with 

Grants.gov as an AOR. Details on these 

steps are outlined at the following 

Grants.gov Web page: www.grants.gov/

web/grants/register.html. 

7. Other Submission Requirements:

competition must be submitted

exception to this requirement in 

accordance with the instructions in this

Applications for grants under the 

MEP Consortium Incentive Grant

Governmentwide Grants.gov Apply site 

at www.Grants.gov. Through this site, 

you will be able to download a copy of 

the application package, complete it 

offline, and then upload and submit 

your application. You may not email an 

electronic copy of a grant application to 

us. 

We will reject your application if you 

submit it in paper format unless, as 

described elsewhere in this section, you 

qualify for one of the exceptions to the 

electronic submission requirement and 

submit, no later than two weeks before 

the application deadline date, a written 

statement to the Department that you 

qualify for one of these exceptions. 

Further information regarding

Please note the following: 

• When you enter the Grants.gov site, 

you will find information about 

submitting an application electronically 

through the site, as well as the hours of 

operation.

system—after 4:30:00 p.m., Washington, 

DC time, on the application deadline 

date. We do not consider an application 

that does not comply with the deadline

notify you if we are rejecting your 

application because it was date and time 

stamped by the Grants.gov system after 

4:30:00 p.m., Washington, DC time, on 

the application deadline date. 

• The amount of time it can take to 

upload an application will vary 

depending on a variety of factors, 

including the size of the application and 

the speed of your Internet connection. 

Therefore, we strongly recommend that 

you do not wait until the application 

deadline date to begin the submission 

process through Grants.gov.

Education Submission Procedures for 

submitting an application through 

Grants.gov that are included in the

Grants.gov system. You can also find the 

Education Submission Procedures 

pertaining to Grants.gov under News 

and Events on the Department’s G5 

system home page at www.G5.gov. 

• You will not receive additional 

point value because you submit your 

application in electronic format, nor 

will we penalize you if you qualify for 

an exception to the electronic 

submission requirement, as described 

elsewhere in this section, and submit 

your application in paper format. 

• You must submit all documents 

electronically, including all information 

you typically provide on the following 

forms: The Application for Federal 

Assistance (SF 424), the Department of 

Education Supplemental Information for

sections and all other attachments to 

your application as files in a PDF

upload a file type other than a readonly, non-modifiable PDF or submit a 

password-protected file, we will not 

review that material. 

• Your electronic application must 

comply with any page-limit 

requirements described in this notice. 

• After you electronically submit 

your application, you will receive from 

Grants.gov an automatic notification of 

receipt that contains a Grants.gov 

tracking number. (This notification 

indicates receipt by Grants.gov only, not 

receipt by the Department.) The 

Department then will retrieve your 

application from Grants.gov and send a 

second notification to you by email. 

This second notification indicates that 

the Department has received your 

application and has assigned your 

application a PR/Award number (an EDspecified identifying number unique to 

your application). 

• We may request that you provide us 

original signatures on forms at a later 

date.

2. Review and Selection Process: We 

remind potential applicants that in 

reviewing applications in any grant

past performance of the applicant in 

carrying out a previous award, such as 

the applicant’s use of funds, 

achievement of project objectives, and

Secretary may also consider whether the 

applicant failed to submit a timely 

performance report or submitted a 

report of unacceptable quality. 

In addition, in making a competitive 

grant award, the Secretary also requires 

various assurances including those 

applicable to Federal civil rights laws 

that prohibit discrimination in programs 

or activities receiving Federal financial 

assistance from the Department of 

Education (34 CFR 100.4, 104.5, 106.4, 

108.8, and 110.23). 

3. Special Conditions: Under 2 CFR 

3474.10, the Secretary may impose

unsatisfactory performance; has a 

financial or other management system

CFR part 200, subpart D; has not 

fulfilled the conditions of a prior grant;
