Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) Project Prevent Grant Program (CFDA 84.184M) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to help local educational agencies strengthen how they respond to violence that affects students and schools. The core purpose of Project Prevent is to increase an LEA's capacity to support schools located in communities with pervasive violence so those schools can better identify and address the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of students who are exposed to violence. The program is framed around the idea of breaking cycles of violence by improving school- and community-level supports that reduce the impact of trauma and related challenges on learning and student well-being.
For the FY 2014 competition described in the notice, the Department anticipated making about 20 awards with an estimated total funding level of $9,750,000. The funding opportunity number is ED-GRANTS-042914-001, and the activity falls under the broader CFDA listing "Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities - National Programs." The posting date for the competition was April 29, 2014, applications became available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was June 30, 2014. The opportunity was later archived on July 30, 2014. The notice also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant (though the official Federal Register notice would govern any specific budget rules and expectations).
Eligibility is limited to local educational agencies, including charter schools that are considered LEAs under state law. In practice, this means the applicant must have LEA status as defined by its state, rather than simply being an individual school or a nonprofit partner applying on its own. The synopsis emphasizes that full details on eligibility, application requirements, selection criteria, performance measures, and any program priorities are contained in the official Federal Register notice, which is the controlling document for the competition.
The application process is electronic-only through Grants.gov. Applicants are expected to locate the correct application package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix, meaning they should search for "84.184" rather than "84.184M." The package is downloaded, completed offline, and then uploaded for submission through Grants.gov. The notice is explicit that applications cannot be submitted by emailing an electronic copy to the Department, so Grants.gov submission is the required method. This is an important compliance point because failure to submit through the designated portal typically results in an application being rejected as noncompliant, regardless of the quality of the proposal.
The announcement repeatedly highlights that the public-facing summary is only a synopsis and encourages applicants to consult the Federal Register for authoritative guidance. It also provides practical contact points for applicants who run into issues: a Grants.gov or systems access contact (Julius Cotton, ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin, 202-245-6288, EducationGrantInquiries@ed.gov) and a program contact at the Department of Education (Program Manager Earl Myers, Jr., 202-453-6716, Earl.Myers@ed.gov). These contacts are intended to help with technical submission problems and program-specific questions, respectively, especially during the short window between application release and the closing deadline.
