Proposed Priorities, Requirements, and Definitions—Comprehensive Centers Program

The Department of Education proposes priorities, requirements, and definitions under the Comprehensive Centers (CC) Program, Assistance Listing Numbers 84.283B and 84.283D. We may use one or more of these priorities, requirements, and definitions for competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2026 and later years. The proposed priorities, requirements, and definitions are intended to redesign the Comprehensive Centers program to better meet its statutory purpose to provide high-quality capacity-building services to State, regional, and local educational agencies and schools that improve educational opportunities and outcomes, close achievement gaps, and improve the quality of instruction for all students.
