Abstract: The Department of Education is requesting a reinstatement with change of the application for grants under the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement (McNair) Program. The Department is requesting a reinstatement with change because the previous McNair application expired in December 2019 and the application will be needed for a Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 competition for new awards. The Department expects an increase in respondents for the FY 2022 competition for new awards.
