2012 Promise Neighborhoods Applications: Update

The Department of Education (ED) has updated the Promise Neighborhoods website to reflect two important corrections for the 2012 application process. As stated on the website, the corrections include:

1. As noted in the corrected Notices Inviting Applications (NIA) for Planning and Implementation competitions, published on May 11, 2012, in the Federal Register, all FY2012 Promise Neighborhoods Planning and Implementation applications must be received on or before 4:30:00 pm Washington, D.C., time on July 27, 2012. Section IV of both Notices Inviting Applications published on April 20, 2012, reflected Deadlines for Transmittal of Applications on June 19, 2012.

2. The most recent application package now reflects a 50 page limit for implementation applications instead of a 40 page limit. The recommended page limit for planning applications is 40 pages, while the recommended page limit for implementation is 50 pages. Please refer to the Instructions for the Project Narrative in FY2012 Promise Neighborhoods Planning and Implementation Application Packages for further details.
