The Maryland Elevates Grants Program is designed to enhance and sharpen the State’s steadfast focus to narrow gaps for infants and toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities and their families in a comprehensive system of early intervention and special education services, birth through age 21. With heightened emphasis on the high-leverage strategies and evidence-based practices necessary to transform early intervention and special education, Maryland Elevates targets disparities impacting children and families across a range of priority needs.

Maryland Elevates Grants Review Process
The review of proposals will be a four-part process:
Written applications will be pre-screened for submission requirements and inclusion of all required sections. Applicants not meeting all pre-screen requirements will not be reviewed.
A review committee established by the MSDE, will evaluate applications using the scoring rubric. The scoring rubric is tailored to the grant program, its intent, and intended impact on the target population.
Applicants may be scheduled for an oral program presentation as determined by the review committee.
Final approval for awards will be determined by the review committee.
Note: The MSDE reserves the right to take into consideration geographic distribution when making awards.
