Office of Elementary and Secondary Education Phase II of the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund (SFSF) program 84.394A | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This opportunity is a U.S. Department of Education grant announcement from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education for Phase II of the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund (SFSF) program, catalog number 84.394A. It was created and posted on November 17, 2009, under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Public Law No. 111-5, specifically Title XIV, which set up the Education Stabilization funding stream. The basic idea of the notice is that the Department planned to distribute each state's SFSF Education Stabilization allocation in two steps. Phase I provided an initial portion of funds to every state based on what the state submitted in its initial funding application, and Phase II was the process for awarding the remainder of the state's allocation based on the additional information the state would submit in a separate Phase II application.

The applicant pool is limited to state governments, meaning this was not aimed at school districts, colleges, nonprofits, or individual schools applying directly. Instead, the state education agency or another designated state entity would submit the Phase II application to unlock the second portion of the state's stabilization allocation. The notice also makes clear that there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so states were not expected to contribute additional state dollars as a match to receive this federal funding (at least as a formal match requirement within the grant structure).

The grant is labeled as a discretionary grant in the listing information, but it functions like a state allocation release tied to meeting federal application requirements, since the Department is described as awarding the remainder of each state's allocation once the Phase II application information is provided. In other words, it is less about competing for a limited number of awards and more about completing the necessary federal application steps to receive the rest of a predetermined state-level amount. Reflecting that structure, the opportunity record lists expected awards as 0 and shows $0 for estimated total funding and $0 for award floor and ceiling, which typically signals that the award amounts were not being competed or announced through this particular Grants.gov record and instead were determined by statutory formula/allocation and handled administratively by the Department once states met requirements.

The application deadline was January 11, 2010, at 4:30 p.m. Washington, DC time, and the opportunity was archived on February 10, 2010. The Department included a practical flexibility point: if a state could not meet the deadline, it could request an extension. To do that, the state needed to explain why it was requesting extra time and propose a new submission date, and it needed to send the request to the contact person listed in the notice.

For access and administration questions, the notice points to Joyce Mays, a Management Analyst, reachable at (202) 245-6122 and joyce.mays@ed.gov, especially if an applicant had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically. For program-specific questions, the program manager listed is Mr. James Butler at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 3E108, Washington, DC 20202, telephone (202) 260-9737, with email contact also indicated. Overall, the opportunity is essentially a formal Phase II release mechanism for ARRA stabilization dollars, requiring states to submit updated or additional Phase II application information so the Department could distribute the remaining portion of each state's SFSF Education Stabilization Fund allocation.
