Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education (CFDA 84.407B), funds the creation of a single national coordinating center to support colleges and universities that run inclusive, comprehensive transition and postsecondary education programs for students with intellectual disabilities. The central idea is to strengthen and connect the field by providing coordination, technical assistance, and related supports to institutions of higher education, including those already funded under the companion TPSID program (CFDA 84.407A), formally known as Transition Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities into Higher Education. In practice, the coordinating center is meant to serve as a hub that helps programs learn from each other, improve quality, and expand effective inclusive postsecondary options for students with intellectual disabilities.
The competition was posted on July 2, 2010, with applications made available the same day and a deadline for transmittal of applications of August 2, 2010. It is an archived opportunity (archive date September 1, 2010). The Department anticipated making one award only, with an estimated total funding amount of $330,000. The award ceiling and floor were both set at $330,000, meaning the intent was to make one grant at that exact funding level. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was limited to an "eligible entity" as defined in section 777(b)(1) of the Higher Education Act (HEA). The notice explains that an eligible entity can be a single organization or a partnership of entities, but it must be able to demonstrate real expertise across several specific areas: higher education; education of students with intellectual disabilities; development of comprehensive transition and postsecondary programs for students with intellectual disabilities; and evaluation and technical assistance. In other words, this was not aimed at general-purpose organizations without a track record in both inclusive postsecondary education and the hands-on work of helping programs improve through evaluation and technical support. The Grants.gov listing describes the eligible applicants category generally as "Others," with the detailed eligibility definition provided in the full Federal Register notice.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through the Department of Educations e-Grants system using the Electronic Grant Application System (e-Application). For applicants needing technical help with electronic submission, the e-Application Helpdesk number was listed as 1-888-336-8930. The announcement also emphasizes that the synopsis is only a summary and that the official requirements, selection criteria, and full instructions are those published in the Federal Register, which is available online through GPO Access.
For program and administrative contacts, the listing provided Joyce Mays, Management Analyst, at 202-245-6122 and joyce.mays@ed.gov. It also listed Shedita Alston as Program Manager at the U.S. Department of Education, 1990 K Street NW, Room 6131, Washington, DC 20006-8524, with a telephone number of 202-502-7808.
