Eligible applicants were broadly defined to include local public or private entities capable of running a Head Start program. This included 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (other than institutions of higher education), small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, county governments, city or township governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement also explicitly noted that faith-based and community organizations that meet eligibility requirements could apply. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were not eligible to compete for or receive an award under this announcement.
The notice was posted and created on May 16, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 14, 2012. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
