Sec. 611.3  What procedures does the Secretary use to award a grant?



    The Secretary uses the selection procedures in 34 CFR 75.200 through 

75.222 except that--

    (a) Application procedures for each program. (1) For the State 

Grants Program, the Secretary evaluates applications for new grants on 

the basis of the selection criteria and competitive preference contained 

in Sec. Sec. 611.11 through 611.13.

    (2) For the Partnership Grants Program, the Secretary may use a two-

stage application process to determine which applications to fund.

    (i) If the Secretary uses a two-stage application process, the 

Secretary uses--

    (A) The selection criteria in Sec. Sec. 611.21 through 611.22 to 

evaluate pre-applications submitted for new grants, and to determine 

those applicants to invite to submit full program applications; and

    (B) For those applicants invited to submit full applications, the 

selection criteria and competitive preference in Sec. Sec. 611.23 

through 611.25 to evaluate the full program applications.

    (ii) If the Secretary does not use a two-stage application process, 

the Secretary uses the selection criteria and competitive preference in 

Sec. Sec. 611.23 through 611.25 to evaluate applications.

    (3) For the Teacher Recruitment Grants Program, the Secretary may 

use a two-stage application process to determine which applications to 

fund.

    (i) If the Secretary uses a two-stage application process, the 

Secretary uses--

    (A) The selection criteria in Sec. 611.31 to evaluate pre-

applications submitted for new grants, and to determine those applicants 

to invite to submit full program applications; and

    (B) For those applicants invited to submit full applications, the

    (ii) If the Secretary does not use a two-stage application process, 

the Secretary uses the selection criteria in Sec. 611.32 to evaluate 

applications.

    (b) Required budgets in pre-applications. An applicant that submits 

a pre-application for a Partnership Program or Teacher Recruitment 

Program grant under paragraphs (a)(2)(i)(A) and (a)(3)(i)(A) must also 

submit any budgetary information that the Secretary may require in the 

program application package.

    (c) Tie-breaking procedures. In the event that two or more 

applicants are ranked equally for the last available award under any 

program, the Secretary selects the applicant whose activities will focus 

(or have most impact) on LEAs and schools located in one (or more) of 

the Nation's Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities.
