Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) Promoting Student Resilience (PSR) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to help school districts strengthen how they respond to students behavioral and mental health needs. The central purpose of the program is capacity-building: it funds local educational agencies (LEAs), including consortia of LEAs, so they can build or expand systems, staff capability, and supports that address comprehensive student behavioral and mental health challenges. A defining feature of this program is that it specifically targets communities that have experienced "Significant civil unrest" within the prior 24 months, reflecting the programs intent to help schools respond to trauma, stress, disruption, and related student needs that can follow community crises.
The funding is listed under CFDA 84.184C (with instructions to search Grants.gov using 84.184 without the letter suffix). The opportunity number is ED-GRANTS-062316-001, and it is categorized as an education grant with a discretionary funding instrument. The application window opened on June 23, 2016, with a deadline for transmittal of applications of July 25, 2016. In terms of funding scale, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $2,375,000, with an expectation of two awards, signaling a small, competitive competition likely intended to make a substantial investment in a limited number of affected districts or consortia.
Eligibility is centered on LEAs, but the listing also flags "Others" with a note to consult the official Federal Register application notice for clarifying details on who can apply and under what conditions (for example, whether partners can be included, how consortia must be structured, and what documentation is required). Because the synopsis is not the full notice, key competition details such as absolute or competitive priorities, required activities, performance measures, application formatting, and any pre-application requirements are not fully spelled out in the summary and must be verified in the official Federal Register publication.
Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. The Department makes it clear that applicants should download the application package from Grants.gov, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through the system; emailing an application is not allowed. The synopsis emphasizes that the Federal Register notice is the controlling document, and it directs applicants to review that official notice for the full set of requirements, including submission instructions, required forms and narratives, priorities, performance reporting expectations, and program contact information.
