    The document outlines revised common instructions for applicants seeking discretionary grants from the U.S. Department of Education, aimed at reducing barriers to application processes. Key updates include the removal of references to the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) as the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) is now in effect. It details the requirements for eligibility, registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), and the electronic submission process through Grants.gov, delineating necessary steps and deadlines. The instructions emphasize the importance of maintaining an active SAM registration, obtaining a UEI and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), and adhering to deadlines. Guidance on file formats for submissions and protocols for paper applications is also provided. Furthermore, accommodations for individuals with disabilities and accessible formats for application materials are addressed to ensure inclusivity. The purpose of these instructions is to streamline the application process and clarify requirements, helping applicants navigate the system efficiently while complying with federal regulations. This initiative reflects the Department's commitment to accessibility and support for grant seekers in education.

    The document details several government announcements, including the renewal of the Department of Defense's Uniform Formulary Beneficiary Advisory Panel (UFBAP), and the Department of Education's request for applications for the Transitioning Gang-Involved Youth to Higher Education Program.

The panel will comprise 15 members, with appointments requiring approval from the Secretary of Defense. Written statements concerning UFBAP's activities can be submitted to the Designated Federal Officer. On the other hand, the Transitioning Gang-Involved Youth to Higher Education Program invites applications aimed at supporting gang-involved youth in pursuing higher education. The program highlights the importance of education in reducing recidivism and emphasizes projects that enhance access, affordability, and completion rates for these youth. Two absolute priorities are identified: working directly with gang-involved youth for educational opportunities and improving postsecondary access for underserved populations. Organizations eligible to apply include higher education institutions and non-profits partnering with them, with an estimated total funding of $2.97 million available. These initiatives reflect government efforts to promote educational support for specific vulnerable groups, addressing systemic issues related to crime and education.
