Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) Carol M. White Physical Education Program, listed under CFDA 84.215F, is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Education. Its central goal is to help schools and eligible community partners start new, expand existing, or strengthen physical education (PE) opportunities for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. The program is designed to support concrete improvements in PE programming that move students toward meeting their State physical education standards, meaning grantees are expected to align what they deliver with the PE expectations already established at the State level.
This opportunity was posted on February 26, 2013, with applications made available the same day and a deadline to submit by April 12, 2013. The Department anticipated making about 95 awards. Because it is a discretionary program, funding is competitive, and applicants should expect to address specific application requirements, priorities, and performance measures described in the official Federal Register notice (the synopsis provided in the listing is not the legally controlling version). The program is associated with the Fund for the Improvement of Education, and it includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants generally need to plan for some level of non-federal contribution as part of the proposed project budget.
Eligible applicants include local educational agencies (LEAs), and this explicitly can include charter schools when they qualify as LEAs under State law. Community-based organizations (CBOs) may also apply, including faith-based organizations, as long as they meet applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. One key eligibility limitation is that the Department restricted this particular competition to LEAs or CBOs that do not currently have an active PEP grant. For purposes of that restriction, a grant is considered active through the end of the project or funding period, including any approved extensions that continue the grantee's authority to obligate funds. In practical terms, organizations already operating under a current PEP award at the time of this competition would not be eligible to apply for a new award.
Applications had 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 Grants.gov; email submission was not allowed. A small but important technical detail in the notice is that applicants needed to search Grants.gov by the base CFDA number (84.215) and not include the letter suffix (so not "84.215F") when locating the application package.
For official guidance and authoritative requirements, the notice points applicants to the Federal Register version of the announcement. The listing also includes contacts for both technical submission issues and programmatic questions. Technical help for accessing the full announcement and Grants.gov-related issues was directed to Julius Cotton (202-245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov). Program questions were directed to the program manager, Carlette Kyser-Pegram at the U.S. Department of Education (202-245-7871, Carlette.KyserPegram@ed.gov), located at 550 12th Street SW, room 10007, Potomac Center Plaza, Washington, DC 20202-6450.
