Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of Education, through the Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE), announced a discretionary grant competition called the Training Program for Federal TRIO Programs (CFDA 84.103A), published under Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-062910-001. This opportunity supports the TRIO Staff Training Program and is designed to strengthen how federally funded TRIO projects operate by improving the skills and knowledge of the people who run them. In practical terms, the grants are meant to fund training for staff and leadership personnel who are currently employed in TRIO projects, are participating in TRIO efforts, or are preparing for employment in TRIO-funded projects, with the goal of improving program quality and effectiveness across the TRIO portfolio.
Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education as well as other public and private nonprofit institutions and organizations. The notice emphasizes that the funding opportunity description being circulated is only a synopsis, and that the official, controlling requirements and details are those published in the Federal Register application notice. Applicants are directed to consult the Federal Register for authoritative information on eligibility nuances, selection criteria, required application components, and any absolute or competitive preferences that may apply. The announcement also points out that the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations can be accessed for free online through the Government Publishing Office portal referenced in the notice.
The competition timeline listed applications as available on June 29, 2010, with a deadline for transmittal of applications on July 29, 2010. The archive date is shown as August 28, 2010, reflecting the period after which the posting would typically be treated as closed/archived in listings. Applications were required to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education e-Application system, accessed via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice provides the e-Application Helpdesk phone number (1-888-336-8930) for technical assistance related to electronic submission, reinforcing that submission is expected through the online portal rather than via paper.
On funding levels, the opportunity lists an expected total funding amount of about $10 (as displayed in the record, though that figure appears truncated in the excerpt), with an anticipated award range between $350,000 (floor) and $450,000 (ceiling) per award. The listing also shows an "ExpectedAwards" figure of 3,424,802, which appears to be a data-field artifact in the excerpt rather than a plain-language count of awards; the key takeaways for most applicants are the award floor and ceiling, the discretionary grant mechanism, and the absence of any cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity is categorized under Education as the funding activity area, and the instrument type is a grant.
