Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Federal TRIO Programs Upward Bound Math and Science (UBMS) grant opportunity (CFDA 84.047M) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education to support projects that help students from disadvantaged backgrounds prepare for and succeed in postsecondary education, with a specific emphasis on math and science. UBMS sits under the broader Upward Bound program, one of seven Federal TRIO Programs, all of which focus on expanding educational opportunity and improving college access and completion for individuals who face socioeconomic, educational, or other barriers. The core purpose of Upward Bound is to build the academic skills and personal motivation students need to finish secondary school and then enter and complete a college program; this particular notice is focused only on the Math and Science component of Upward Bound rather than the regular Upward Bound or Veterans Upward Bound options.
From an applicant standpoint, eligibility is broad but experience-driven. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education (both public and private), public and private agencies and organizations (including community-based organizations) that have experience serving disadvantaged youth, secondary schools, and partnerships or combinations of these entities. In practice, that means many UBMS projects are led by colleges or universities working in collaboration with local school districts and community organizations to deliver academic enrichment, advising, mentoring, and exposure to STEM pathways that improve readiness for college-level work.
The competition is administered as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) within the education activity category, and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The opportunity anticipated 148 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $38,237,093. The Funding Opportunity Number is ED-GRANTS-062012-001, and the posted date for the announcement was June 20, 2012, with applications made available the same day. The deadline for transmittal of applications was July 20, 2012, and the opportunity was later archived on August 19, 2012.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. Applicants were instructed to locate the correct application package by searching the CFDA number without the alpha suffix, meaning applicants needed to search for "84.047" rather than "84.047M." For technical support with the submission platform, the Grants.gov Helpdesk was provided (1-800-518-4726; support@grants.gov). The announcement also emphasizes that the funding opportunity description is only a synopsis and that the official requirements, definitions, and application instructions are contained in the Federal Register notice. Applicants were directed to the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations via GPO Access for the authoritative version.
For program and administrative contacts, the notice lists Joyce Mays (Management Analyst) at (202) 245-6122 and joyce.mays@ed.gov for help accessing the full announcement, and Sharon Easterling as the Program Manager for Upward Bound Math and Science, based at the U.S. Department of Education, 1990 K Street NW, Washington, DC 20006, reachable at (202) 502-7651 (with an email contact indicated in the notice).
