Department of Education Notice Inviting Applicants Announced for FY 2014 Grant Awards

From Asheley McBride, Management and Program Analyst for the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Innovation and Improvement:

The Arts in Education Model Development and Dissemination (AEMDD) grant program released its Notice Inviting Applications for new FY 2014 grant awards on Tuesday, February 25, 2014 in the Federal Register.

AEMMD grants are designed to enable Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) and organizations with arts expertise to further create and develop materials for the replication or adaptation of current comprehensive approaches for integrating a range of arts disciplines-such as music, dance, theater, and visual arts, including folk arts-into the elementary and middle school curricula.

Live pre-application webinar will be held on Tuesday, March 18 to assist applicants with the application process. After the webinar occurs, a recording will be posted to the AEMDD program website. Please visit the AEMDD webpage to access the webinar. Any questions should be directed to Asheley McBride at 202-453-6850 or artsdemo@ed.gov.
