CloseDateExplanation: On December 15, 2008, we published in the Federal Register (73 FR 76014) a notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2009 for  the Charter School Programs (CSP). The original notice for the FY 2009 CSP competition established a January 29, 2009, deadline date for  eligible applicants to apply for funding under this program. For this competition, applicants are required to submit their applications  electronically through the Governmentwide Grants.gov site (www.Grants.gov). Grants.gov experienced a substantial increase in  application submissions that resulted in system slowness on the deadline date. For this reason we are reopening and establishing new  deadline dates for the FY 2009 competition for CSP. Applicants must refer to the notice inviting applications for new awards that was  published in the Federal Register on December 15, 2009 (73 FR 76014) for all other requirements concerning this reopened competition. The new deadline dates are:     Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: February 25, 2009.
