The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (DEW) is replacing the Comprehensive Continuous Improvement Process (CCIP) with the ED STEPS One Funding Application (OFA). OFA allows users to maintain grant applications and submit for award reimbursement within a single system.
- The ED STEPS OFA will launch in Spring 2025 and will contain grant applications users can apply to for State Fiscal Year 2026.
- The complete transition to ED STEPS OFA will take around a year. The CCIP is planned for retirement starting the Summer of 2026.
- Applications that are currently still active within the CCIP will remain in the system through the Final Expenditure Process for state fiscal year 2025.
