Opportunity Summary:
The Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) Program, CFDA 84.335A, is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to help low-income student parents stay enrolled and succeed in postsecondary education by expanding access to campus-based child care services. In practical terms, the program recognizes that reliable, affordable child care is often one of the biggest barriers for parents trying to attend college, and it funds institutions so they can provide or support child care options that make continued enrollment more realistic.
For this funding cycle (FY 2009), the Department anticipated making about 119 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $10,714,000. Individual awards ranged from a floor of $10,000 up to a ceiling of $300,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for applicants. The opportunity was posted April 8, 2009, with applications made available the same day and a submission deadline of May 8, 2009. The opportunity category is discretionary, the instrument type is a grant, and it falls under the education funding activity category.
Eligibility is aimed at institutions of higher education that serve significant numbers of Pell Grant recipients. Specifically, eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other eligible entities as clarified in the official notice. A key eligibility threshold stated in the synopsis is that an institution must have awarded at least $350,000 in Federal Pell Grant funds during FY 2008 to students enrolled at the institution. In addition, institutions already holding a CCAMPIS grant with a project period ending in 2009 or 2010 were also eligible to apply for new awards, consistent with the details in the Notice Inviting Applications for New Awards for FY 2009.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and the Department emphasized that applications could not be submitted by email. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix, meaning applicants should search for "84.335" rather than "84.335A." The process described involves downloading the application package, completing it offline, then uploading and submitting it through Grants.gov. Support for technical issues was available through the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov.
Because this summary is explicitly described as a synopsis of the Federal Register notice, applicants were directed to the official application notice for the full set of requirements and decision factors. That official notice is where an institution would find the complete eligibility language, application and submission rules, pre-application or formatting requirements (if any), performance measures, priorities, and program contacts. The synopsis also points readers to free online access to the Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations through GPO Access (as listed in the notice).
For contacts, the announcement included both technical and program points of contact. For difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin) was listed with phone 202-245-6140 and email julius.cotton@ed.gov. Program management contacts named in the notice included Alexander Hamilton, with backup contacts Antoinette Clark Edwards and Dorothy Marshall at the U.S. Department of Education, 1990 K Street NW, Suite 7000, Washington, DC 20006-8510, with telephone numbers (202) 502-7583, (202) 502-7656, and (202) 502-7734, respectively.
