Opportunity Summary:
The Institute of Education Sciences (IES), within the U.S. Department of Education, announced its FY 2012 grant competition for the Special Education Research Program under CFDA 84.324A. This opportunity is a discretionary grant designed to fund scientifically rigorous research that strengthens what the nation knows about effective education practices, with a particular focus here on special education. The program is authorized under the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (Title I of Public Law 107-279) and is positioned as part of a broader set of IES research competitions that span early childhood through postsecondary and adult education.
At its core, the program aims to generate reliable, valid evidence that parents, educators, students, researchers, policymakers, and the public can use to improve learning outcomes, academic achievement, and access to educational opportunities for all students, including students with disabilities. IES frames these awards as a way to provide national leadership by expanding fundamental knowledge and understanding of education and by supporting research in areas of demonstrated national need. While the synopsis references multiple IES competitions across education research and special education research, this specific listing is centered on special education research (CFDA 84.324, commonly referred to with the 84.324A suffix in the formal notice).
Eligibility is broad and emphasizes research capacity rather than organizational type. Applicants must have the ability and capacity to conduct scientifically valid research. Eligible entities include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than colleges and universities), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and other public or private agencies and institutions such as colleges and universities. The listing indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not expected to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and the announcement is explicit that emailed submissions are not accepted. Applicants were instructed to locate the correct application package on Grants.gov by searching for the CFDA number without the alpha suffix (for example, search for 84.324 rather than 84.324A). The application package was made available July 21, 2011, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was September 22, 2011. The opportunity was posted March 3, 2011, with an archive date of October 22, 2011. The funding opportunity number associated with this posting is ED-GRANTS-030311-007, and the funding activity category is Education, with the instrument type listed as a grant.
The synopsis repeatedly notes that it is not the full legal announcement and directs applicants to the official Federal Register notice for the definitive requirements. That official notice is where applicants would find the detailed elements that typically govern IES competitions, such as application and pre-application requirements (if any), submission instructions, performance measures, competition priorities, and program contact details. For applicants needing help accessing the announcement or navigating Grants.gov systems, the notice provides a technical contact (Julius Cotton, ED Grants.gov/FIND Systems Admin, 202-245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov). It also lists a program contact associated with the competition (Program Manager Amy Sussman, IES, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20202, phone 202-219-2126).
