Opportunity Summary:
The Native Hawaiian Education Program (CFDA 84.362A) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Education to fund innovative projects that improve and expand educational services for Native Hawaiian children and adults. The program is rooted in section 7205(a)(3) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended, and is aimed at supporting efforts that strengthen learning opportunities, outcomes, and culturally responsive education for Native Hawaiian communities. While the full list of allowable activities is defined in the official Federal Register notice, the core focus is on practical, community-informed education projects, including initiatives connected to Native Hawaiian language instruction and other Native Hawaiian-focused educational programming.
A notable condition in the announcement concerns facilities work: construction, renovation, or modernization of a Hawaii Department of Education elementary or secondary school (or related structures) serving a predominantly Native Hawaiian student body would only be allowed under this competition if Congress specifically authorized the use of FY 2009 funds for that purpose. In other words, while the program generally supports educational improvement, using these particular FY 2009 funds for school construction or major facilities upgrades is restricted unless Congress explicitly permits it.
Eligibility is targeted to organizations with established ties and experience serving Native Hawaiian learners. Eligible applicants include Native Hawaiian educational organizations; Native Hawaiian community-based organizations; and public or private nonprofit organizations, agencies, and institutions that have experience developing or operating Native Hawaiian programs or providing instruction in the Native Hawaiian language. Consortia made up of these eligible entities may also apply, which allows organizations to partner and combine expertise, infrastructure, and community reach.
For this funding cycle, the Department of Education anticipated making about 21 awards. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can lower the barrier for nonprofit and community organizations that may have limited ability to provide matching contributions. The funding opportunity number listed is ED-GRANTS-012309-002, and the program is categorized under the education funding activity area.
Applications for this competition had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov rather than by email or paper submission. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix (search for 84.362, not 84.362A). The application package became available on January 23, 2009, with a deadline for transmittal of March 24, 2009, and the archive date listed as April 23, 2009. For technical issues with Grants.gov, applicants could use the Grants.gov Helpdesk (1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov).
The announcement emphasizes that the posted description is only a synopsis, and that applicants should rely on the official Federal Register notice for the authoritative requirements and details. That official notice is where applicants would find the complete eligibility rules, application and pre-application requirements, submission instructions, performance measures, priorities, and other program guidance. For direct assistance, the notice lists contacts including Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND System Administrator, 202-245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov) for access and system-related issues, and Joanne Osborne (Program Manager, 202-401-1265, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 3E214, Washington, DC 20202-6200) for program-related questions.
