Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE): Upward Bound Program (Regular Upward Bound (UB) CFDA 84.047A; Reopening the Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Competition for Certain Applicants To Submit Amended Applications

Additional Information of Eligibility:
On December 19, 2011, we published a notice in the Federal Register (76 FR 78621) inviting applications for new awards for FY 2012 for the UB Program (NIA).

On January 25, 2012, we published a second notice in the Federal Register (77 FR 3751) extending the deadline date for the transmittal of applications to February 1, 2012, and extending the deadline date for Intergovernmental Review to April 2, 2012.

Shortly before the revised application deadline date, it came to the Department's attention that some informational materials made available on a Department Web site contained an error that may have led some applicants to incorrectly respond to one of the competitive preference priorities.

Following a review of the nature and extent of the error and concerns about its potential effects on applicants' scores, the Department is reopening the competition for two weeks to provide time for applicants that submitted timely applications under the February 1, 2012, deadline and that may have been affected by this error to submit amended applications.

This opportunity will be limited to a specific subset of applicants that meet certain demonstrated criteria.

The Department will compare amended applications submitted in accordance with this notice with the original submissions to ensure the applicant satisfies the criteria for a resubmission.

The Department will not accept any amended application that fails to meet the criteria set forth in this notice.

Eligible Applicants: Institutions of higher education; public and private agencies and organizations, including community-based organizations with experience in serving disadvantaged youth; combination of these institutions, agencies, and organizations; and secondary schools.
