SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On January 21, 2025, the Department published NIAs for two programs in the CSP in the Federal Register , one of which is for the FY 2025 CMO Grants, Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 84.282M. The Department is withdrawing this NIA as part of a comprehensive review of recently published FY 2025 CSP NIAs. This reevaluation aims to ensure that all priorities and requirements for the FY 2025 CSP competitions align with the program priorities set by the Trump Administration, comply with Executive orders issued since January 20, 2025, and promote consistency across all CSP grant programs. The Department has also determined that aligning all CSP grant competitions will ensure greater impact on students and families. Additionally, alignment of CSP priorities will increase the economic impact of the Federal education funds awarded for the CSP.

The Department intends to announce a new NIA for CMO Grants, ALN 84.282M in FY 2025. This NIA will unleash innovation, minimize excessive and unnecessary oversight, and lessen the reporting burden for both applicants and grant recipients. By adopting this streamlined approach, the Department is committed to maximizing the impact of its funding efforts while creating a more efficient application process.

The Department does not expect that withdrawing this NIA will significantly impact our ability to make grant awards for FY 2025 under this competition because the Administration anticipates issuing a new NIA in the near future.

Intergovernmental Review: This program is subject to Executive Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR part 79.

Accessible Format: On request to the program contact person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT , individuals with disabilities can obtain this notice and the NIA in an accessible format. The Department will provide the requestor with an accessible format that may include Rich Text Format (RTF) or text format (txt), a thumb drive, an MP3 file, braille, large print, audiotape, compact disc, or other accessible format.
