Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), is offered under CFDA 84.326R and is titled "Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children With Disabilities - Regional Resource Center." It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Department expects to have substantial involvement in the funded project rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal interaction. The overarching intent is to strengthen outcomes for children with disabilities by improving the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of technical assistance, information sharing, and related support activities grounded in scientifically based research.
The purpose of the broader Technical Assistance and Dissemination program is to promote academic achievement and improve results for children with disabilities. It does this by funding efforts that provide technical assistance (often to state and local education systems), support model demonstration work, disseminate practical and evidence-based information, and carry out activities aligned with research. In the context of a Regional Resource Center award, the work typically focuses on building capacity and improving implementation across systems so that education agencies and partners can deliver better services and achieve stronger student outcomes.
The Department anticipated making one award under this competition, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,300,000. No cost sharing or matching is required. The posted date was December 3, 2009, applications were made available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was February 1, 2010. The opportunity was later archived on March 3, 2010, indicating it is no longer open, but the notice remains useful as a record of the program priorities and requirements for that competition cycle.
Eligibility is broad and spans many types of organizations involved in education and services for children with disabilities. Eligible applicants include State Educational Agencies (SEAs), Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) including public charter schools that qualify as LEAs under state law, Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs), other public agencies, private nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), outlying areas and freely associated states, Indian tribes or tribal organizations, and for-profit organizations. In the summarized listing, eligible applicant categories also highlight private institutions of higher education and nonprofits, but the detailed eligibility statement makes clear that a wide range of public and private entities could apply.
Applications were to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education's e-Application system available via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). Applicants needing technical support were directed to the e-Application Helpdesk at 1-888-336-8930, reflecting that electronic submission was the expected route for filing a timely application.
For applicants or interested parties seeking the official requirements, the synopsis emphasizes that the authoritative version of the opportunity is the Federal Register notice, not the summary. The announcement points readers to free access to the Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations through GPO Access, reinforcing that details like selection criteria, required project components, reporting expectations, and definitions must be taken from the official notice.
The listed contacts for the opportunity include Joyce Mays, Management Analyst (202-245-6122, joyce.mays@ed.gov), and Program Manager Rex Shipp at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, DC (telephone 202-245-7523), who would have been the primary points of contact for questions about the competition and programmatic expectations.
