This publication provides an overview of U.S. Department of Education programs authorized and funded under federal law for fiscal year 2008. This reference guide also includes information on the laboratories, centers, and other facilities funded by the Department that provide important resources for education. Readers will find funding information, contact information, and a web site for more information about each program. Each entry, which gives a brief overview of a program or resource, is listed initially by a broad topical heading, to which the table of contents is keyed. The program title and any commonly used names for the program come next, followed by the name of the principal office that administers the program. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) or ED number follow. Programs that do not have CFDA or ED numbers assigned are listed as "None" in this field. After the CFDA or ED number, information is provided about the entities that are eligible to apply to each program. Next comes information on any current competitions and the types of assistance available. Funding levels for fiscal year (FY) 2008 and the previous two fiscal years follow next. Most of the programs in the Guide received funding in FY 2008. A few programs that received no funding in FY 2008 also are included in the Guide because they are still disbursing continuation funds from previous years. Programs covered in this Guide are presented in the areas of (1) Academic Improvement; (2) Adult Education; (3) Assessment; (4) Career and Technical Education; (5) Child Care; (6) Civics; (7) Correctional Education; (8) Disability and Rehabilitation Research; (9) Disadvantaged Persons; (10) English Language Acquisition; (11) Federal Student Aid; (12) Foreign Language Instruction; (13) Higher and Continuing Education; (14) Impact Aid; (15) Indian Education; (16) International Education; (17) Migrant Education; (18) Postsecondary Improvement; (19) Professional Development; (20) Reading; (21) Rehabilitation; (22) Research; (23) Safe and Drug-Free Schools; (24) School Improvement; (25) Special Education; (26) Statistics; (27) Teacher and Principal Quality; (28) Technical Assistance; (29) Technology; and (30) Telecommunications.

The Guide to U.S. Department of Education Programs and Resources, commonly referred to as the Guide to ED Programs, provides an overview of all Department of Education programs authorized and funded under federal law. It also includes information on competitions administered under these programs as well as on the laboratories, centers, and other facilities funded by the Department that provide important resources for education. Each entry in this volume is listed under a broad topical heading, which is keyed to the table of contents found on page vii of the 2004 printed Guide. The program title and any other commonly used names come next, followed by the principal office that administers the program. These are followed by the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CDFA) number or similar Department number (numbers 84.500 and higher). Programs which are listed as "No CFDA" do not have CFDA numbers assigned to them. After the CFDA number, information is provided about which entities are eligible to apply to each program. Next comes information on any current competitions and the types of assistance available. Funding levels for FY 2004 and the previous two fiscal years follow next. Most of the programs in the guide received funding in FY 2004. Programs that received no funding in FY 2004 are also included in the guide because they are still disbursing continuation funds from previous years.
