Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Model Demonstration Projects on Tiered Approaches for Improving the Writing Proficiency of High School Students" (CFDA 84.326M), was a discretionary U.S. Department of Education competition run under the Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities program. The central aim of the broader program is to boost academic achievement and improve outcomes for children with disabilities by funding technical assistance, supporting model demonstration projects, sharing useful information, and promoting the use of approaches grounded in scientifically based research. In practical terms, this specific competition sought projects that could demonstrate effective, tiered strategies for strengthening high school students writing proficiency, with a clear connection to improving services and results for students with disabilities.
The funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which usually means the Department of Education anticipated being actively involved with grantees during the project period (for example, through collaboration on project direction, technical guidance, reporting expectations, or dissemination activities), rather than simply issuing a traditional grant with more limited federal involvement. The opportunity was categorized under education and special education technical assistance and dissemination. The posted date and application availability date were July 13, 2009, and the deadline for submitting applications was August 12, 2009. The opportunity later moved into archived status on September 11, 2009, indicating the competition had closed.
Financially, the competition anticipated making about three awards. The estimated total funding was $1,200,000, with an award ceiling of $400,000 per award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, meaning applicants were not required to commit non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was broad and included state educational agencies and local educational agencies (including public charter schools that qualify as LEAs under state law), institutions of higher education (public or private), other public agencies, private nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, aside from higher education institutions), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), state and local governments (including county, city or township, and special district governments), outlying areas and freely associated states, and Native American tribal governments as well as other tribal organizations. In short, a wide range of education systems, higher education entities, nonprofits, governmental units, and certain for-profit organizations were permitted to apply, as long as they could credibly carry out a model demonstration project focused on tiered writing interventions for high school students.
Applications were expected to be submitted electronically using the Department of Educations e-Application system through the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice emphasized that applicants could not submit an application by emailing an electronic copy; instead, they needed to use the official online submission route. The synopsis also repeatedly notes that this description is only a summary of the official Federal Register notice and that applicants needed to consult the Federal Register for the controlling requirements. That official notice would contain the key details that typically drive application development, such as absolute and competitive priorities, selection criteria, performance measures, required project components, formatting rules, page limits, and any pre-application expectations.
