This data collection is necessary to
make awards required under sections 624, 626, 627, and 641 of the
IDEA. The notice of proposed priorities would establish selection
criteria for two priorities, Directed Research Projects and
Research Institutes. Each of these two priorities includes
activities authorized under multiple program authorities under
IDEA. The proposed selection, which are similar to existing
selection criteria under the four affected programs, would
establish identical selection criteria for applications that are
submitted under these two priorities, regardless of program
authority.
