The funding will be allocated by April 2002. The deadline for submitting proposals for new assessment pilots is Dec. 10. The deadline for submitting proposals for 2002 supplemental assistance is Nov. 26. Supplemental funding is available for projects awarded in fiscal year 2000 (before Sept. 30, 2000).
