On August 31, the Department of Education re-published their draft notice
for comment on the Talent Search application package that was utilized in
the 2015-16 competition (click here for draft
<https://t.congressweb.com/l/?AKLAJKPAGVQGDBP>).  As the Department of
Education followed the same procedure in the 2019-20 Student Support
Services competition, we believe the agency has re-issued this notice in
order to eliminate the need to publish a draft for the upcoming 2020-21
Talent Search competition.



This means: (1) we can expect a short (30-45 day) turnaround between the
release of the 2020-21 Talent Search RFP and the proposal due date and (2)
the competitive preference priorities included in the draft just released
may be different.



COE continues to expect the Talent Search application due date to be in
early December or the end of January.  Virtual proposal writing workshops
for COE Institutional Members will take place on October 28-30, 2020 and
again when the final RFP is released.  *Please consider attending the
upcoming workshop and have a proposal draft critiqued.  COE staff know of
very few institutions that had proposals critiqued in the Student Support
Services competition whose funding was not continued.*
