USDOE Announces 2010 Arts Ed Model Development and Dissemination Grants


The list of 2010 USDOE AEMDD grantees has been posted to the USDOE website. 

Click here for the AEMDD section of the USDOE website.
33 grants were made; 200 applications were reviewed. The project abstracts have yet to be posted. One would imagine the USDOE is just a bit busy, what with Race to the Top and i3 in full swing, adjudication-wise. For the previous full round of AEMDD in 2008, there were 74 applications reviewed. The rough economy has made for stiff competition.

From the USDOE Website:
