Opportunity Summary:
The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) Special Education Research grant opportunity (CFDA 84.324A; posted March 6, 2012) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education to support scientifically rigorous research in special education. The program sits within IES research grant activities that are meant to produce reliable, valid evidence about education practices and interventions that improve learning, academic achievement, and access to educational opportunities for all students, including students with disabilities. In practical terms, the competition is designed to fund studies that address nationally important needs in special education and generate findings that parents, educators, students, researchers, policymakers, and the public can use to make better decisions.
The award mechanism is a grant, and the funding activity category is education, specifically “Research in Special Education.†The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching. The official details, requirements, priorities, and performance measures are contained in the notice published in the Federal Register, which is emphasized as the authoritative source. Applicants are directed to consult that notice for the full set of rules, including any pre-application steps, formatting requirements, submission procedures, and program priorities that could affect whether an application is considered responsive or competitive.
Eligibility is intentionally broad, focusing on an organization’s ability and capacity to conduct scientifically valid research. Eligible applicants include (but are not limited to) nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other public or private agencies and institutions such as colleges and universities. The common thread is that the applicant must be capable of carrying out high-quality research according to established scientific standards, rather than fitting into a narrow organizational category.
Applications are submitted electronically through Grants.gov using the downloadable application package associated with the CFDA number. A specific procedural point is highlighted: when searching for the application package, applicants should search for “84.324†and not include the alpha suffix (so not “84.324Aâ€). The application package for this competition became available on April 19, 2012, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was June 21, 2012, with the opportunity later archived on July 21, 2012. The funding opportunity number is listed as ED-GRANTS-030612-008, and the notice referenced is a “Notice inviting applications for new awards for fiscal year (FY) 2013.â€
For support and questions, the announcement provides two main contacts: Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov/FIND Systems Administrator) for technical access issues related to the electronic announcement and submission systems, and Jacquelyn Buckley (Program Manager at IES) for programmatic questions about the competition itself.
