Opportunity Summary:
The Institute of Education Sciences (IES), within the U.S. Department of Education, offered this discretionary grant competition titled "Accelerating the Academic Achievement of Students with Disabilities Research Initiative" under CFDA 84.324D (Research in Special Education). The overall aim fits within IES's broader mission: to fund scientifically rigorous research that generates reliable, valid evidence about education practices and interventions, so that parents, educators, students, researchers, policymakers, and the public can make better decisions that improve learning outcomes and expand access to educational opportunities. In practical terms, this initiative is focused on building and strengthening the evidence base for approaches that can raise the academic achievement of students with disabilities, reflecting a national need for better-tested solutions in special education.
The opportunity is structured as a research grant program, meaning applicants are expected to propose and carry out studies that meet high standards of scientific validity. While the synopsis does not list specific topical priorities or required research designs, it emphasizes that the funded work must be able to produce credible evidence about what works, for whom, and under what conditions, consistent with the way IES research competitions typically operate. The notice also makes clear that the short description provided is only a summary, and that applicants must rely on the official Federal Register notice for the full requirements, including any pre-application steps, formatting and submission rules, performance measures, and the competition's specific priorities and selection criteria.
Eligibility is broad and is based primarily on an applicant's ability and capacity to conduct scientifically valid research. Eligible applicants include, but are not limited to, nonprofit and for-profit organizations, public and private agencies, and public and private institutions such as colleges and universities. The listing also explicitly includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Applications were submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and the guidance highlights an important detail for locating the correct application package: applicants had to search by the CFDA number without the letter suffix (for example, searching "84.324" rather than "84.324D" or "84.324A"). The competition information in the synopsis indicates the application package became available on July 19, 2012, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was September 20, 2012. The opportunity was posted March 6, 2012, and later archived October 20, 2012, reflecting that this particular announcement corresponded to a time-limited competition cycle (a Notice Inviting Applications for new awards for fiscal year 2013).
For support and administrative questions, the notice provides a Grants.gov systems contact (Julius Cotton) for technical difficulty accessing the announcement or submission system. It also provides a program contact within IES (Program Manager Kristen Lauer) for questions about the program itself. For any organization considering a similar IES competition, the key takeaway is that the official Federal Register notice governs the application: it contains the definitive instructions on what kinds of research projects are being solicited, how applications will be reviewed, what must be included in the proposal narrative and appendices, and how IES will measure and report outcomes from funded projects.
