Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), under the Training and Information for Parents of Children with Disabilities program. The specific competition is for a Military Parent Technical Assistance Center, listed under CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 84.328R. The overall purpose of the program is to make sure parents of children with disabilities have access to practical training and accurate information that can help them support their children more effectively and, in turn, improve educational and developmental outcomes. In plain terms, the grant is aimed at strengthening the support system around military-connected families who are navigating disability services, special education processes, and related resources.
The award is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have a more active role in overseeing or collaborating on the work than it would under a standard grant. Only one award was expected under this competition, with an estimated total funding amount of $295,000 and an award ceiling of $295,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants are not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit private organizations. The notice indicates that both nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) fall within the eligible applicant categories, with the key point being that the applicant must be a nonprofit private organization. Because the synopsis repeatedly emphasizes that the Federal Register notice is the authoritative source, any organization considering applying would need to confirm the exact eligibility boundaries, definitions, and any additional conditions in the official application notice.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov and could not be submitted by email. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching Grants.gov using the CFDA number without the letter suffix, meaning applicants should search for "84.328" rather than "84.328R." The application package was made available on March 24, 2014, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was May 23, 2014. The opportunity was later archived on June 22, 2014, reflecting that it was a time-limited competition tied to that application cycle.
The funding opportunity number for this competition was ED-GRANTS-032414-002, and the activity category is education. The synopsis also stresses that the brief description provided is not a substitute for the full Federal Register notice. Applicants were directed to the official notice for details that typically determine competitiveness and compliance, including pre-application and application requirements, required components of the submission, performance measures, program priorities, and official contact and program information.
For support, the notice lists contacts for both technical submission issues and programmatic questions. For Grants.gov or system access problems, the contact was Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov/FIND Systems Admin) at 202-245-6288 or EducationGrantInquiries@ed.gov. For program-related questions, the program manager was Carmen Sanchez at the U.S. Department of Education, with a listed phone number of 202-245-6595 and email Carmen.Sanchez@ed.gov.
