Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools (OSDFS) Safe and Supportive Schools grant (CFDA 84.184Y) was a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education aimed at helping states improve school safety and reduce student substance use by strengthening statewide systems for measuring school conditions and then acting on what the data show. The core idea behind the program is that states need reliable, statewide information about "conditions for learning" (for example, safety, engagement, and school environment) and the capacity to use those data to target interventions where they are most needed. Rather than funding isolated local projects, this competition emphasized statewide measurement and targeted programmatic interventions that can be used to drive improvement across schools.
Eligibility was limited to State educational agencies (SEAs) as defined in section 9101(41) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). A key requirement tied to ESEA section 9501 was equitable participation for private school students, teachers, and other education personnel located in areas served by the grant. That means the SEA had to plan for how eligible private school participants would be included in services supported by the grant, and the SEA also had to conduct timely and meaningful consultation with appropriate private school officials during the design and development of the proposed program. Importantly, this consultation needed to happen early, before the SEA made decisions that would affect private school participation.
From an administrative standpoint, applications had to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education's e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice makes clear that applicants could not email an electronic copy of the grant application; submissions were expected to be completed and transmitted through the online system, where applicant-entered data would be stored in a database. For applicants needing the definitive rules, requirements, priorities, performance measures, and submission instructions, the Department emphasized that the controlling source is the official Federal Register notice (with free access available through GPO Access).
For the FY 2010 competition described here (Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-070910-002), the opportunity was posted July 9, 2010, applications became available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was August 9, 2010. The estimated total funding amount was $27.3 million, with an expected 5 awards. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was education under the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities National Programs (CFDA 84.184).
