Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) Alaska Native Education (ANE) Program (CFDA 84.356A) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education to support innovative projects that improve educational services for Alaska Native children and adults. The program is grounded in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended, and is intended to fund projects that strengthen learning opportunities, build culturally responsive instruction, and expand effective education services in Alaska Native communities, including efforts tied to Alaska Native languages. The public synopsis notes that eligible projects may include activities authorized under ESEA section 7304(a)(2) and 7304(a)(3). A special point highlighted in the notice is that Congress expressly authorized the use of FY 2012 funds for construction of facilities that support the operation of Alaska Native education programs, which is not always a permissible cost in many federal education grant programs.
For FY 2012, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 031612 001) anticipated making around 44 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $22,051,000. The opportunity was posted on March 16, 2012, with applications made available the same day. The deadline for transmittal of applications was May 15, 2012, and the opportunity was later archived on June 14, 2012. The listing also indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award (though applicants still typically need to present a realistic and well-justified budget).
Eligibility is focused on organizations with direct Alaska Native connections or demonstrated capacity to serve Alaska Native learners. 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 these types of organizations and entities. The notice also clarifies an important limitation for school systems: a State educational agency (SEA) or local educational agency (LEA), including a charter school treated as an LEA under state law, may apply only as part of a consortium that includes an Alaska Native organization. In other words, districts and charter LEAs cannot apply alone; they must partner within a consortium involving an Alaska Native organization, though the consortium may also include additional eligible partners.
The application process is electronic-only through Grants.gov. Applicants must download the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it via the Grants.gov "Apply" workspace. The notice explicitly states that applications cannot be submitted by email. When locating the application package in Grants.gov, applicants are instructed to search using the CFDA number without the letter suffix, meaning they should search for "84.356" rather than "84.356A" to find the correct package.
Because the text provided is a synopsis, it repeatedly emphasizes that the controlling, official requirements are contained in the Federal Register notice inviting applications. Applicants are directed to review that official notice for critical details such as pre-application and application requirements, submission instructions, performance measures, selection criteria, priorities, and full program contact details. For technical issues accessing the announcement, the listed Grants.gov/FIND system administrator contact was Julius Cotton (202-245-6140; julius.cotton@ed.gov). The program manager contact listed for the competition was Almita Reed at the U.S. Department of Education (202-260-1979; Almita.Reed@ed.gov), located at 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20202-6200.
