Even Start Family Literacy Program Women's Prison Project; Notice 
Inviting Applications for a New Award With Fiscal Year (FY) 1995 Funds

    Note to Applicants: This notice is a complete application package. 
Together with the statute authorizing the program and the Education 
Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR), the notice 
contains all of the information, application forms, and instructions 
needed to apply for a grant under this competition.
    Purpose of Program: The Even Start Family Literacy Program Women's 
Prison grant is designed to help break the cycle of poverty and 
illiteracy and improve the educational opportunities of low-income 
families with mothers in prison by integrating early childhood 
education, adult literacy or adult basic education, and parenting 
education into a unified family literacy program of high quality. This 
project, which must be located in a prison that houses women and their 
preschool-aged children, will serve women inmates and their children, 
birth through age seven. (For the purposes of this program, the 
Secretary considers a prison to be a correctional institution that 
houses inmates, most of whom are incarcerated in the institution for at 
least one year.)
    Eligible Applicants: A prison (other than a Federal prison) that 
houses women and their preschool-aged children, an institution of 
higher education, local educational agency, hospital, or other public 
or private organization or entity. (A Federal prison may not apply for 
these Federal funds. However, another eligible entity may apply for a 
grant to operate this family literacy program in a Federal prison.)
    Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: August 7, 1996.
    Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: October 7, 1996.
    Available Funds: $200,000 (for the entire project period).
    Number of Awards: 1.
    Project Period: 24 months.
    Applicable Regulations: The EDGAR as follows:
    (1) 34 CFR Part 74 (Administration of Grants and Agreements with 
Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and other Non-profit 
Organizations), for applicants that are institutions of higher 
education, hospitals, or other public or private organizations that are 
not State educational agencies, local educational agencies, or Indian 
tribes and tribal organizations.
    (2) 34 CFR Part 75 (Direct Grant Programs).
    (3) 34 CFR Part 77 (Definitions that Apply to Department 
Regulations).
    (4) 34 CFR Part 79 (Intergovernmental Review of Department of 
Education Programs and Activities).
    (5) 34 CFR Part 80 (Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants 
and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments), for 
applicants that are State or local governments, or federally recognized 
Indian tribal governments.
    (6) 34 CFR Part 81 (General Education Provisions Act--Enforcement).
    (7) 34 CFR Part 82 (New Restrictions on Lobbying).
    (8) 34 CFR Part 85 (Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension 
(Nonprocurement) and Governmentwide Requirements for Drug-Free 
Workplace (Grants)).
    Description of Program: Under the authority of section 1202(a)(2) 
of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the Assistant 
Secretary of Elementary and Secondary Education will award one Even 
Start Family Literacy grant to an eligible applicant to plan and 
implement a family literacy program of high quality, that integrates 
adult literacy or adult basic education (including, as appropriate, 
English as a second language), parenting education, and early childhood 
education, in a prison that houses women and their preschool-aged 
children. This family literacy project will serve female inmates and 
their children birth through age seven. The children are eligible 
participants in the project whether or not they reside in the prison. 
Some project activities may be located outside the prison. The 
Secretary intends to award this grant for a 24-month period.
    Eligible participants. Eligible participants are--
    1. Female prison inmates who participate in the project with one or 
more of their eligible children, and who--
    <bullet> Are eligible for participation in an adult basic education 
program under the Adult Education Act; or
    <bullet> Are within the State's compulsory school attendance age 
range; and
    2. The child or children, from birth through age seven, of an 
individual described in paragraph 1 (whether or not the child resides 
in the prison).

(Note: Family members of eligible participants described in 
paragraphs one and two, above, also may participate in Even Start 
Family Literacy Program activities when appropriate to serve Even 
Start purposes. In addition, under section 1206(b)(2) of the ESEA, 
participants remain eligible for Even Start Family Literacy services 
until all eligible participants in a family become ineligible for 
participation. For example, in the case of a participating family in 
which the mother becomes ineligible due to educational advancement, 
the family would remain eligible until the participating children 
reach age eight.)

    Federal and local funding. The Even Start Family Literacy Program 
Women's Prison grant funding comprises both a Federal portion of funds 
(Federal share) and a portion contributed by the eligible applicant 
(local project share). The Federal share of the project may not 
exceed--
    <bullet> 90 percent of the total cost of the program in the first 
year; and
    <bullet> 80 percent of the total cost of the program in the second 
year.
    The local share of the project may be provided in cash or in kind 
and may be obtained from any source, including other Federal programs 
funded by the ESEA.
    Indirect costs. Funds under this grant may not be used for the 
indirect costs of an Even Start Family Literacy Program Women's Prison 
grant project.
    National Evaluation: The Secretary suggests that each applicant 
budget for evaluation activities as follows: a project with an 
estimated cost of up to $120,000 should designate $5,000 for this 
purpose; a project with an estimated cost of over $120,000 should 
designate $10,000 for these activities. These funds will be used for 
expenditures related to the collection and aggregation of data required 
for the Department's national evaluation. The Secretary also recommends 
that projects budget for the cost of travel to Washington, DC, and two 
nights' lodging for the project director and the project evaluator, for 
their participation in annual evaluation meetings.
    Waiver of Reporting Requirement: Under the EDGAR, an applicant 
generally must submit an annual performance report to the Department. 
(See 34 CFR 74.51, 75.720, and 80.40.) However, in the interest of 
reducing burden at the local level, the Secretary has determined that a 
performance report is unnecessary until the end of the 24-month project 
period, and therefore waives the requirement for a performance report 
at the end of the first year. This waiver is in accordance with the 
Secretary's authority under these regulations.
    Invitational Priority: Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(1) and section 
1202(a)(2) of the ESEA (20 U.S.C. 6362(a)(2)), the Secretary is 
particularly interested in applications that meet the following 
invitational priority. However, an applicant that meets this 
invitational priority does not receive competitive or

the program's purposes.
    (2) An intensity of services in parenting education, adult literacy 
or adult basic education, and early childhood education.
    (3) Active involvement of participants in planning and implementing

and 1202(a)(2) of the ESEA is to help break the cycle of poverty and 
illiteracy by awarding a grant for a project that--
    <bullet> Improves the educational opportunities of low-income 
families with mothers in prison by integrating early childhood

support services, when those support services are unavailable from 
other sources, but are necessary for participation in the Even Start 
activities provided by the project, such as---
    <bullet> Scheduling and locating of services to allow joint 
participation by mothers and children;
    <bullet> Child care for the period that mothers participate in

Instructions for Part III--Application Narrative

    Before preparing the Application Narrative, an applicant should 
read carefully the description of the program, the information about 
the invitational priority, and the selection criteria the Secretary 
uses to evaluate applications.
    The narrative should encompass each function or activity for which 
funds are being requested and should--
    1. Begin with an Abstract; that is, a summary of the proposed 
project;
    2. Describe the proposed project in light of the invitational 
priority and each of the selection criteria, in the order in which the 
criteria are listed in this application package;
    3. Provide the following in response to the attached ``Notice to 
all Applicants'': (1) a reference to the portion of the application in 
which information appears as to how the applicant is addressing steps 
to promote equitable access and participation, or (2) a separate 
statement that contains that information;
    4. For any applicant other than the State educational agency (SEA), 
include a copy of the signed set of assurances specified in section 
14306(a) of the ESEA (20 USC 8856(a)) that the applicant has filed with 
its SEA for this grant application; and
    5. Include any other pertinent information that might assist the 
Secretary in reviewing the application.
    The Secretary strongly requests that the applicant limit the 
Application Narrative to no more than 20 double-spaced, typed pages on 
one side only, although the Secretary will consider applications of 
greater length. The Department has found that successful applications 
for similar programs generally meet this page limit.

Notice to All Applicants

    Thank you for your interest in this program. The purpose of this 
enclosure is to inform you about a new provision in the Department of 
Education's General Education Provisions Act (GEPA) that applies to 
applicants for new grant awards under Department programs. This 
provision is section 427 of GEPA, enacted as part of the Improving 
America's Schools Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-382).
    To Whom Does This Provision Apply?
    Section 427 of GEPA affects applicants for new discretionary grant 
awards under this program. ALL APPLICANTS FOR NEW AWARDS MUST INCLUDE 
INFORMATION IN THEIR APPLICATIONS TO ADDRESS THIS NEW PROVISION IN 
ORDER TO RECEIVE FUNDING UNDER THIS PROGRAM.
    What Does This Provision Require?
    Section 427 requires each applicant for funds (other than an 
individual person) to include in its application a description of the 
steps the applicant proposes to take to ensure equitable access to, and 
participation in, its federally-assisted program for students, 
teachers, and other program beneficiaries with special needs.
    This section allows applicants discretion in developing the 
required description. The statute highlights six types of barriers that 
can impede equitable access or participation that you may address: 
gender, race, national origin, color, disability, or age. Based on 
local circumstances, you can determine whether these or other barriers 
may prevent your students, teachers, etc. from equitable access or 
participation. Your description need not be lengthy; you may provide a 
clear and succinct description of how you plan to address those 
barriers that are applicable to your circumstances. In addition, the 
information my be provided in a single narrative, or, if appropriate, 
may be discussed in connection with related topics in the application.
    Section 427 is not intended to duplicate the requirements of civil 
rights statutes, but rather to ensure that, in designing their 
projects, applicants for Federal funds address equity concerns that may 
affect the ability of certain potential beneficiaries to fully 
participate in the project and to achieve to high standards. Consistent 
with program requirements and its approved application, an applicant 
may use the Federal funds awarded to it to eliminate barriers it 
identifies.
    What are Examples of How an Applicant Might Satisfy the Requirement 
of This Provision?
    The following examples may help illustrate how an applicant may 
comply with section 427.
    (1) An applicant that proposes to carry out an adult literacy 
project serving, among others, adults with limited English proficiency, 
might describe in its application how it intends to distribute a 
brochure about the proposed project to such potential participants in 
their native language.
    (2) An applicant that proposes to develop instructional materials 
for classroom use might describe how it will make the materials 
available on audio tape or in braille for students who are blind.
    (3) An applicant that proposes to carry out a model science program 
for secondary students and is concerned that girls may be less likely

conduct ``outreach'' efforts to girls, to encourage their enrollment.
    We recognize that many applicants may already be implementing 
effective steps to ensure equity of access and participation in their 
grant programs, and we appreciate your cooperation in responding to the
