Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Training Program for Federal TRIO Programs, CFDA 84.103A, is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Education to strengthen the quality and day-to-day operation of federally funded TRIO projects by investing in professional development. The core purpose of the program is to provide training for TRIO staff and leadership personnel who are currently employed in TRIO projects, participating in TRIO work, or preparing to work in TRIO-funded projects. In practical terms, the funding supports structured training so that TRIO professionals can build skills, update knowledge, and apply consistent, effective practices that improve how TRIO services are delivered to students.
This opportunity was posted on May 14, 2012, with applications made available the same day and a deadline for transmittal of applications of June 13, 2012. The opportunity was later archived on July 13, 2012. The Department anticipated making about 5 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,400,000. The funding instrument type is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, meaning applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of eligibility (though applicants would still be expected to follow all budget and allowability rules described in the official notice).
Eligible applicants are broadly defined to include institutions of higher education as well as other public and private nonprofit institutions and organizations. The listing also reflects that a range of public entities may apply, such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, along with private institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations (including both those with and without 501(c)(3) status, as described). The key eligibility takeaway is that the program is designed for organizations capable of delivering training that directly benefits the Federal TRIO Programs workforce and leadership pipeline.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. Applicants were expected to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number without the alpha suffix, meaning they should search for 84.103 rather than 84.103A. The notice makes clear that applications could not be submitted by emailing an electronic copy to the Department; submission was required through the governmentwide Grants.gov Apply system. The synopsis also emphasizes that the public-facing description is only a summary and that the authoritative requirements, priorities, performance measures, and detailed instructions are contained in the official Federal Register notice (with access available online through the Government Publishing Office).
For applicants needing help, the announcement provides both technical and program contacts. Technical assistance for accessing the full announcement electronically is directed to Julius Cotton, ED Grants.gov Systems Administrator, at (202) 245-6140 or julius.cotton@ed.gov.
