Opportunity Summary:
The Carol M. White Physical Education Program (PEP), CFDA 84.215F, was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Education through the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools. The main goal of the program was to fund efforts that start new, expand existing, or improve physical education programs for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. A core expectation for any funded project was that the activities would be tied to helping students make progress toward meeting their State physical education standards, rather than operating as stand-alone fitness or recreation efforts without an academic standards connection.
Eligibility was aimed at organizations that can directly deliver or support school-based physical education. Specifically, eligible applicants included local educational agencies (LEAs), with charter schools allowed to apply if they are considered LEAs under State law, and community-based organizations (CBOs), including faith-based organizations as long as they meet the relevant statutory and regulatory requirements. In practical terms, that means the competition was designed for school districts and qualifying community partners positioned to implement structured, standards-aligned physical education improvements that reach K-12 students.
From a funding perspective, the opportunity anticipated making about 93 awards nationwide, with an estimated total program funding level of $39,729,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $100,000 to a ceiling of $427,000. The notice indicated there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier for applicants that might not have substantial non-federal funds available to contribute to the project.
The application timeline for this particular posting was tightly defined. Applications became available on June 18, 2010, and the deadline to submit (the deadline for transmittal of applications) was July 19, 2010. The record lists an archive date of August 18, 2010, reflecting that this was a time-limited competition and that the posting later moved into an archived status after the close of the application window.
All applications were required to be submitted electronically using the Department of Education's e-Application system, accessed through the e-Grants website at http://e-grants.ed.gov. Applicants needing technical assistance with electronic submission were directed to the e-Applications Helpdesk at 1-888-336-8930. For program and access questions, the notice provided named contacts: Joyce Mays (Management Analyst) at 202-245-6122 and joyce.mays@ed.gov, and Program Manager Carlette Huntley at the U.S. Department of Education, 550 12th St SW, Room 10071, Potomac Center Plaza, Washington, DC 20202-6450, with a phone number of 202-245-7871.
Finally, the posting emphasized that the summary provided in the listing was only a synopsis and that the controlling details for eligibility, requirements, and application instructions were contained in the official Federal Register application notice. It also pointed readers to free access to Federal Register and CFR materials through the Government Publishing Office access site listed in the announcement.
