    The U.S. Department of Education has released revised common instructions for applicants seeking discretionary grant funding. This update, which replaces instructions from December 27, 2021, aims to streamline the application process and reduce barriers for applicants. The document details the requirements for submitting applications electronically through Grants.gov, including the necessity for a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). Technical updates have been made, most notably the removal of references to the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) due to the full adoption of the UEI. Additionally, applicants must ensure their application complies with all deadlines and submission standards to be considered for funding. The notice emphasizes the importance of accessibility, offering alternative formats of the application materials for individuals with disabilities. Overall, this guidance facilitates a more efficient and accessible funding application process for educational grants.

    The document outlines two significant government initiatives: the proposed sale of military equipment, specifically M982A1 Excalibur tactical projectiles, to Spain, and a funding opportunity from the Department of Education aimed at improving personnel preparation for special education. The military sale includes an additional 153 Excalibur projectiles, enhancing Spain's capabilities to meet threats and ensuring interoperability with U.S. forces. The sale, valued at $48.2 million, supports U.S. foreign policy and does not alter the military balance in the region, with Raytheon as the principal contractor. The Department of Education's initiative invites applications for grants focused on enhancing services for children with disabilities through personnel training at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other minority-serving institutions. This program, with a total allocation of $125 million, aims to prepare qualified personnel from diverse backgrounds and enhance competencies in evidence-based practices. Eligible applicants can receive awards ranging from $150,000 to $350,000 annually for up to five years, with a focus on preparing a culturally diverse workforce in educational settings serving children with disabilities. Both initiatives reflect the government's commitment to strengthening international alliances and improving educational equity and quality.
