| 04-28021 | Higher Education Programs | Proposed Rule | The proposed regulations will remove all references to points in the selection criteria the Department of Education (Department) uses to evaluate applications submitted under the higher education discretionary grant programs. We are proposing this action because the current point assignments are outdated and do not permit sufficient flexibility to establish important program objectives. Taking this action will allow us that flexibility and ensure grant awards are made to high quality applicants. The proposed regulations also would remove the requirement that in competitions for grants under the Partnership and Teacher-Recruitment components of the Teacher Quality Enhancement Grants Program, the Secretary hold a two-stage competition in which applicants must submit a pre-application and a full application. The current structure has not proven effective in producing high quality applications for this program. Removing the requirement for a pre-application will reduce burden on applicants and the Department and allow both to target their resources on the full application stage. There are some amendments in the proposed regulations that are purely technical corrections to the regulations. | 2004-12-22 | 2004 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/12/22/04-28021/higher-education-programs | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-12-22/pdf/04-28021.pdf | Education Department | 126 | The proposed regulations will remove all references to points in the selection criteria the Department of Education (Department) uses to evaluate applications submitted under the higher education discretionary grant programs.
