Applicants Impacted by Grants.gov
We anticipate extending the deadline for transmittal of applications for the FY 2022 Project Prevent grant competition to October 5, 2022 for prospective eligible applicants because Grants.gov, the system used to submit applications electronically, was closed for site maintenance from September 23-29, 2022. Since applicants were unable to submit or work in Grants.gov during that time, we are extending the deadline to allow applicants additional time to complete and submit their applications.
Please note that the U.S. Department of Education will publish an announcement in the Federal Register extending the deadline for transmittal of applications for the FY 2022 Project Prevent grant competition to October 5, 2022. The deadline is being extended due to the September 23-29, 2022, shutdown of the Grants.gov system.
