Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Innovation and Improvement (OII) Arts in Education Model Development and Dissemination (AEMDD) Program (CFDA 84.351D) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to grow and spread effective approaches to arts education in elementary and middle schools. At its core, the program is meant to support projects that enhance, expand, document, evaluate, and disseminate arts education models that are innovative, cohesive, grounded in research, and already show evidence that they work. The larger goal is to increase the amount of high-quality, nationally available information about arts-in-education models that successfully connect the arts with standards-based education.
The program focuses on three main outcomes: integrating standards-based arts education into the core curriculum in elementary and middle school grades, strengthening standards-based arts instruction in those grades, and improving student academic performance. Academic performance here is not limited to traditional measures; it also includes students abilities in key arts learning domains such as creating, performing, and responding to the arts. In practice, funded projects are expected not only to run a strong program locally, but also to produce credible documentation and evaluation results and then package what they learn so other schools and communities can adopt or adapt those approaches.
Eligibility is built around partnerships between schools and arts organizations. Eligible applicants include one or more local educational agencies (LEAs), including charter schools that qualify as LEAs under state law, either applying alone or in partnership. LEAs may partner with state or local nonprofit or governmental arts organizations, state educational agencies (SEAs) or regional educational service agencies, institutions of higher education, and other public or private agencies or organizations (including community-based or faith-based organizations). Alternatively, one or more state or local nonprofit or governmental arts organizations may apply, but in that case they must partner with one or more LEAs, and they may also include the same additional partners (SEAs, regional service agencies, colleges/universities, and other organizations). If multiple LEAs or arts organizations want to apply together as a consortium, they must follow the federal group application procedures in EDGAR (34 CFR 75.127 through 75.129).
For FY 2014, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $8,655,781 and anticipated making about 17 awards. The posting date was February 25, 2014, with applications available the same day. A pre-application meeting was scheduled for March 18, 2014. While not mandatory, the Department strongly encouraged applicants to submit a brief notice of intent to apply by March 27, 2014, simply stating that the organization planned to submit an application; this was intended to help the Department plan a more efficient review process. The final deadline for transmittal of applications was April 28, 2014, and the opportunity was later archived on May 28, 2014.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov and could not be submitted by email. Applicants were instructed to search for the downloadable application package using the CFDA number without the letter suffix (search for 84.351 rather than 84.351D). The official controlling guidance for the competition is the Federal Register notice inviting applications, and applicants were directed to that notice for the detailed requirements, priorities, performance measures, and submission instructions.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-022514-001 and the activity category of Education. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed.
