Alaska Native Education (ANE) CFDA 84.356A | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Alaska Native Education (ANE) grant opportunity (CFDA 84.356A) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Education to fund innovative projects that improve educational services for Alaska Native children and adults. The core goal is to strengthen and expand effective education approaches that serve Alaska Native communities, including projects that may align with activities authorized under section 7304(a)(2) and (3) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended. In practical terms, the program is aimed at supporting new or improved educational programs, services, and instructional efforts that better meet Alaska Native learners needs, including efforts connected to Alaska Native languages and culturally grounded education. A specific limitation is noted for facility construction: building or constructing facilities to support Alaska Native education programs would only be allowed if Congress specifically authorizes using FY 2009 funds for that purpose.

For FY 2009, the opportunity was posted on January 23, 2009, with applications available the same day and a deadline for transmittal of applications on March 24, 2009. The Department anticipated making about 30 awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the grant (though projects may still propose leveraging other resources if it strengthens the application). The funding instrument is a grant, and the funding activity category is education.

Eligibility is centered on organizations with direct ties to Alaska Native education and community benefit. Eligible applicants include (a) Alaska Native organizations, (b) educational entities with experience developing or operating Alaska Native programs or providing instruction conducted in Alaska Native languages, (c) cultural and community based organizations with experience running programs that benefit Alaska Natives, and (d) consortia made up of the types of eligible organizations described above. A key rule applies to State educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs): they may only apply if they are part of a consortium that includes an Alaska Native organization. That condition is meant to ensure Alaska Native organizations are directly involved in, and help guide, proposed projects rather than being peripheral partners.

Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix (search "84.356" rather than "84.356A"). The process required downloading the application package, completing it offline, and then uploading and submitting through Grants.gov; applications could not be submitted by emailing the Department. The synopsis emphasizes that the full and controlling requirements, selection information, priorities, performance measures, and detailed submission instructions are contained in the official Federal Register notice, and applicants were encouraged to consult that notice for complete guidance.

For support and program contacts, the announcement provided Grants.gov Helpdesk assistance at 1-800-518-4726 and support@grants.gov, as well as Department contacts including Julius Cotton for access issues (202-245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov) and the program manager, Alexis Fisher (202-401-0281), at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, DC.
