Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education, specifically the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), and it supports the program called Training and Information for Parents of Children With Disabilities, focused here on Technical Assistance for Parent Centers. The central goal is straightforward: make sure parents of children with disabilities have access to high-quality training and practical information so they can better advocate for and support improved outcomes for their children. In other words, the program is designed to strengthen what parent centers can do by providing technical assistance that ultimately helps families navigate services, understand their rights, and participate effectively in their child s education and related supports.
The award is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which generally means the Department of Education expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond just writing a check. The total estimated funding listed for the opportunity is about 8 million, with an expected award amount shown as 1,866,402 (as presented in the opportunity record). Cost sharing or matching is not required, so applicants do not need to bring non federal matching funds as a condition of applying. The CFDA listing tied to the opportunity is 84.328 (Special Education Parent Information Centers), with the specific opportunity identified as CFDA Number 84.328R, and the Funding Opportunity Number is ED GRANTS 060313 001.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit private organizations. The listing clarifies that eligible applicants include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) as well as nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). Anyone considering applying would need to confirm the finer points in the official Federal Register notice, since the summary provided in the opportunity announcement is explicitly described as a synopsis and not the controlling document for requirements, priorities, or selection criteria.
The timeline for this competition is clearly stated: applications became available June 3, 2013, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was July 18, 2013. The posting date and creation date are both June 3, 2013, and the archive date is August 17, 2013, indicating it is an older, archived competition. Even so, the structure and requirements described are useful for understanding how OSERS organizes these competitions and what kinds of applicants and activities it seeks to support.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. The instructions emphasize that applicants must download the application package from Grants.gov, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through that system. Submitting an application by email is not allowed. Applicants were instructed to search for the application package by the CFDA number but to omit the alpha suffix during the search, meaning search for 84.328 rather than 84.328R. The announcement also stresses that the official, detailed requirements including pre application and application requirements, submission instructions, performance measures, priorities, and program contact information are contained in the Federal Register notice, and it directs readers to access the Federal Register through the Government Publishing Office resources.
For support and questions, the notice provides contacts for both technical and program related issues. For difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically, it lists Julius Cotton, ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin, reachable at 202 245 6288 or EducationGrantInquiries@ed.gov.
