Abstract: The Office of Indian Education (OIE) of the Department of Education (ED) requests a revision of this previously approved information collection for the Indian Education Discretionary Grant Application authorized under Title VI, Part A, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended. The Professional Development (PD) (CFDA 84.299B) program is a competitive discretionary grant program. The grant applications submitted for this program are evaluated on the basis of how well an applicant addresses the selection criteria, and are used to determine applicant eligibility and amount of award for projects selected for funding. The Department will use the information collected through the application package to enable external reviewers to evaluate applications submitted for the PD grant competition. Eligible applicants submit the information to describe the project for which funding is requested. The information the applicant provides addresses the program selection criteria, in 34 CFR 263.6 and as required by statute under the ESEA amended section 6122. The application is evaluated through a peer review process and an application's score is used to determine its ranking and selection for funding. The information collected reflects the specific components of the selection criteria and program services that are to be provided.
