Opportunity Summary:
The Native Hawaiian Career and Technical Education Program (NHCTEP), CFDA 84.259A, is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Education to support career and technical education efforts that benefit Native Hawaiians. The program is tied to section 116 of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006, and its core aim is to fund eligible organizations so they can plan, conduct, and administer career and technical education (CTE) programs, or specific parts of those programs, in ways that align with the broader Perkins Act purposes. In practical terms, this opportunity is meant to strengthen education and workforce pathways for Native Hawaiian communities through training, skill development, and related services that help people prepare for employment and careers.
Eligibility is centered on community-based organizations that primarily serve and represent Native Hawaiians. For this program, a community-based organization can be either public or private, as long as it provides career and technical education or closely related services to individuals in the Native Hawaiian community. Applicants can apply on their own or as part of a consortium made up of one or more eligible community-based organizations, with consortium rules referencing 34 CFR 75.127. The listing notes that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award, based on the synopsis provided.
The funding opportunity was posted on March 24, 2009, with applications made available the same day. The deadline for submitting applications was April 23, 2009, and the opportunity was later archived on May 23, 2009. The estimated total funding amount is listed as $2,898,270, and the program anticipated making about 10 awards. The opportunity category is discretionary, the funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is education.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the governmentwide "Apply" system. Applicants were expected to download the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through the portal; submitting an application by email was not permitted. To find the correct application package on Grants.gov, applicants were instructed to search by the CFDA number without the letter suffix, meaning they should search for 84.259 rather than 84.259A. For technical help with Grants.gov, the Helpdesk contact was 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov.
Because this description is only a synopsis of the official Federal Register notice, the full requirements such as detailed eligibility nuances, application components, submission rules, program priorities, selection criteria, performance measures, and reporting expectations were all contained in the official Notice Inviting Applications for New Awards (using FY 2008 funds). The announcement also provided agency contact points for assistance: Julius Cotton as the ED Grants.gov FIND system administrator (202-245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov) for access or technical issues related to the announcement, and Nancy Essey as the program manager (202-245-7789) for program-related questions.
