Eisenhower Postsecondary Grant Application Guidelines for Professional Development Programs

[28 Pa.B. 6087]

   Applications from Pennsylvania nonprofit organizations, which have previously conducted successful reading professional development activities, and Pennsylvania institutions of higher education will be accepted for professional development programs specially designed to improve reading in this Commonwealth. Grant awards will be funded with higher education money authorized by Subchapter II--Dwight D. Eisenhower Professional Development Program--The Improving America's Schools Act of 1994 (P. L. 103-382).

   The Commonwealth has approximately $534,267 available for this competition. Awards issued under these guidelines will be for a maximum of three full funding cycles; funding in subsequent years is estimated to be about $373,987 each cycle. Awards for this competition and the subsequent two funding cycles are specifically contingent upon the appropriation of funds by the Federal government, a valid and comprehensive assessment of the success of the project, including, but not limited to, demonstration of significant increase in participants' knowledge of how children learn to read by pre/postcontent based tests and a fully executed contract/memorandum of understanding.

   It is anticipated that $250,000 or more will be awarded to one to three grant recipients for the first funding cycle. Only applications including commitments from regional sites and those seeking funding for all three cycles will be funded. Funding will be awarded only to the applicant; funds to support each regional site will be included in the applicant's final grant award.

   Copies of the Eisenhower Postsecondary Grant Application (EPGA) guidelines are available on the Department's web page at http://www.pde.psu.edu/docs/pde/posteisen.html or from the Issuing Office, which is the sole point of contact for the guidelines: Division of Program Services, Bureau of Postsecondary Services, Department of Education, 333 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17126-0333, (717) 772-3623; TDD (717) 783-8445.
