We participated in a version of this webinar during round one of recompetition and found it to be really interested and valuable. Prepare to write quickly! It moves fast and it all seemed note-worthy.

Presented by: Zoë Beckerman, Esq.
In light of the recently released second round of Head Start/Early Head Start Recompetition Notices, The Head Start Legal Advisory Service is holding a crucial two-part webinar to helpyour program get ready to write a strong grant application. The Funding Opportunity Announcements (“FOAs”) for recompetition are different than prior FOAs from years past.
Zoë Beckerman, Esq., of Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell LLP, a leader in Head Start and Federal Grants law, will walk you through a sample recompetition FOA and provide insight and best practices. She’ll keep an eye towards the legal requirements you need to meet as you draft your HS/EHS application.
Part A will address: Initial Tips, Eligible Entities, Intergovernmental Review, Demonstration of Need, Achieving Early Learning Outcomes, and Past Performance.
Part B will address: Staffing/Early Learning Workforce, Organizational Capacity and Governance, Budget and Budget Justification, Phase 2 (including Fiscal Items and Internal Control Compliance), and provide Final Tips.
Thank you.
