Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) Alaska Native Education (ANE) Program (CFDA 84.356A) is a discretionary U.S. Department of Education grant competition designed to fund innovative projects that improve educational services for Alaska Native children and adults. The program’s core purpose is to strengthen and expand effective educational opportunities for Alaska Native communities, including efforts connected to Alaska Native languages and culturally grounded instruction. The opportunity reflects authorities in section 7304(a)(2) and 7304(a)(3) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended, which provide the framework for the kinds of activities that can be supported. A notable point in this specific FY 2014 competition is that Congress explicitly authorized the use of FY 2014 ANE funds for construction of facilities that support the operation of Alaska Native education programs, meaning applicants could propose facility construction when it directly supports eligible ANE program operations.
Funding for this competition was estimated at $11,020,912 total, with an expected 22 awards. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity, which typically lowers the barrier for eligible organizations that may not have access to large pools of non-federal funds. The opportunity was posted on February 18, 2014, applications were made available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was April 21, 2014. The opportunity was later archived on May 21, 2014.
Eligibility is geared toward organizations with demonstrated experience serving Alaska Native learners and communities. Eligible applicants include (a) Alaska Native organizations, (b) educational entities with experience developing or operating Alaska Native programs or programs of instruction conducted in Alaska Native languages, (c) cultural and community-based organizations with experience developing or operating programs that benefit Alaska Natives, and (d) consortia made up of organizations and entities in those categories. State educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs), including charter schools treated as LEAs under state law, are not eligible to apply on their own; they may only apply as part of a consortium that includes an Alaska Native organization. The consortium structure can also include other eligible partners, which allows school systems to participate while ensuring Alaska Native organizations play a central role.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the governmentwide "Apply" process. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching for the CFDA number without the alpha suffix (search 84.356 rather than 84.356A). The process described involves downloading the application package, completing it offline, and uploading it to Grants.gov for submission. Email submission of an electronic application was explicitly not permitted. The Department also emphasized that the public-facing synopsis is not a substitute for the full Federal Register notice and directed applicants to the official notice for the complete set of requirements, including detailed eligibility rules, application and pre-application requirements, submission instructions, performance measures, priorities, and points of contact.
For support, the notice listed a Grants.gov systems contact (Julius Cotton) for technical access issues, along with a program manager contact (Almita Reed) at the U.S. Department of Education for program-related questions. The funding opportunity number associated with the competition was ED GRANTS 021814 001, and the agency administering the competition was the Department of Education under OESE.
