For all grants administered by 7m视频, the agency publishes general, fiscal, and program-specific guidelines. Grant recipients must assure that funds will be spent in accordance with all grant procedures and federal and state regulations.
General and Fiscal Guidelines
The General and Fiscal Guidelines describe grant application procedures as well as general processes for distribution and management of grant funds based on the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (). These guidelines apply to all grants that 7m视频 administers and are part of every Request for Application (RFA) that 7m视频 publishes.
As these guidelines are updated, 7m视频 maintains prior versions that are applicable to already published grants. From the list below, select the appropriate guidelines based on the date range for awarded grants.

Program Guidelines for each grant can found on the 7m视频 Grant Opportunities page.
