Eligibility is broad and includes many kinds of organizations that commonly partner on education research and implementation. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, special district governments, and independent school districts, as well as public and private institutions of higher education. Nonprofit organizations are eligible whether or not they have 501(c)(3) status, and certain for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) may apply. The listing also includes an "others" category with the caveat that applicants should consult the official notice for any additional eligibility clarifications or restrictions, which sometimes address partnerships, consortium requirements, or limits on who can serve as the lead applicant.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted with a creation date of May 3, 2019, with applications available the same day and a deadline for transmittal of applications of June 3, 2019. The expected number of awards was 11.

Applicants are directed to rely on the official Federal Register application notice as the controlling source for requirements, selection criteria, definitions, and submission instructions. The synopsis explicitly notes that it is only a summary and that the Federal Register publication contains the authoritative details on pre-application and application requirements, how to submit, the program contact information, performance reporting expectations, and any priorities.
