Funds made available under this funding opportunity are used to pay for the Federal share of the cost of the administration and operation of programs designated as UCEDDs. This program announcement contains instructions for existing UCEDDs that must submit in FY 2009 grant applications for core funding to receive continued funding and designation as a UCEDD. |
