Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Model Demonstration Projects on Reentry of Students with Disabilities from Juvenile Justice Facilities into Education, Employment, and Community Programs" (CFDA 84.326M), is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education under the broader Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities program. The basic aim of that larger program is to improve academic achievement and overall outcomes for children with disabilities by investing in technical assistance, supporting model demonstration projects that can be replicated, spreading practical and useful information to the field, and encouraging approaches that are backed by scientifically based research. Within that context, this specific competition is focused on the reentry process for students with disabilities who are leaving juvenile justice facilities and transitioning back into school, work, and community-based programs. In other words, the Department is looking to fund projects that can demonstrate effective, real-world strategies for improving how these young people reconnect to education and move toward employment and stable community participation.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity was posted May 3, 2012, with applications available the same day and a submission deadline of June 18, 2012. The estimated total funding amount is $1,200,000, with an award ceiling of $400,000, and the Department anticipated making about three awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which generally means applicants are not required to bring non-federal dollars to receive and use the award (though applicants often still describe how they will sustain work beyond the grant period). The funding instrument is a standard grant, and the activity category is education.
Eligibility is fairly broad and includes many types of organizations that could realistically build cross-system reentry partnerships. Eligible applicants include State educational agencies and local educational agencies (including public charter schools that qualify as LEAs under state law), institutions of higher education, and other public agencies. It also includes private nonprofit organizations, outlying areas, freely associated states, Indian tribes or tribal organizations, and even for-profit organizations. The listing also mentions various government entities (state, county, city/township, special districts), public and private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, and both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, reflecting how complex reentry work is and how it often requires cooperation between education systems, juvenile justice agencies, and community providers.
The Department emphasizes that the short description provided is only a synopsis and that applicants need to rely on the official application notice published in the Federal Register for the authoritative requirements. That official notice is where an applicant would find the precise priorities, required project design elements, performance measures, pre-application or application requirements, and submission instructions. The notice also points people to the Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations via GPO access for free public viewing, reinforcing that the Federal Register version controls if there is any discrepancy between summaries and the official text.
For submission, applicants were directed to apply electronically through Grants.gov rather than emailing an application to the Department. The process described is the typical Grants.gov workflow: download the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit through the Grants.gov system. A small but important instruction is included for searching: applicants needed to search by the CFDA number without the alpha suffix, meaning they should search for "84.326" rather than "84.326M" to find the correct package. The funding opportunity number provided is ED-GRANTS-050312-001, which can also help locate the listing.
Finally, the announcement provides points of contact for both technical and programmatic questions. For help accessing the full announcement or Grants.gov-related issues, the listing includes Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin) with phone and email. For program-related questions, it lists Program Manager David Emenheiser at the U.S. Department of Education with phone and email. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted federal investment in testing and demonstrating coordinated reentry approaches for justice-involved students with disabilities, with the expectation that successful practices can be shared and replicated to improve education, employment, and community outcomes.
