Grants will be awarded to states and territorial governments, as well as federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations to address the physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral aspects of development for children from birth to eight years old.  Applications will be accepted until March 3, 2014.
