Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) announced a discretionary grant competition under the U.S. Department of Education called "Technology and Media Services for Individuals With Disabilities - Television Access" (CFDA 84.327C). This opportunity is tied to the Technology and Media Services for Individuals with Disabilities program, which focuses on making educational content and classroom media more usable for children with disabilities, particularly by improving access to televised and video-based materials used in instructional settings.
The core purpose of the program has three main parts. First, it aims to improve outcomes for children with disabilities by encouraging the development, demonstration, and practical use of technology that supports learning and access. Second, it supports educational media services that have clear instructional value in classroom environments for children with disabilities, meaning the work is expected to connect directly to how students learn and how teachers deliver content. Third, it provides support for captioning and video description that are appropriate for classroom use, which points to efforts that increase accessibility of video content through accurate captions for students who are deaf or hard of hearing and audio description for students who are blind or have low vision.
For fiscal year 2010, the Department anticipated making about 5 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,500,000. The maximum award size (ceiling) listed is $500,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which typically means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that could reasonably carry out technology development, media accessibility work, or educational service delivery. Eligible applicants include State educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs), and public charter schools that qualify as LEAs under State law, along with institutions of higher education (public and private). Other eligible entities include other public agencies, private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), outlying areas and freely associated States, Indian tribes and tribal organizations, and for-profit organizations. The listing also references additional categories such as state and local governments and special district governments, reflecting the program's openness to a wide range of public-serving and education-connected applicants.
Applications for this competition were made available on June 2, 2010, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was July 19, 2010, with the archive date shown as August 18, 2010. The notice emphasizes that the funding opportunity description provided is only a synopsis and that the controlling requirements, priorities, selection criteria, performance measures, and submission instructions are contained in the official Federal Register notice. Applicants were directed to rely on that official notice for the complete rules of the competition.
For submission, the Department required electronic applications to be filed through the Department's e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice makes a point of stating that applicants cannot email an electronic copy of a grant application, and that the electronic system involves entering and saving data into an online database as part of the submission process.
For assistance and program-related questions, the announcement provided contacts including Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov/FIND Systems Administrator) for technical access issues and Jo Ann McCann as the program manager, with phone numbers and email contact information, indicating separate points of contact for system issues versus programmatic questions about the grant.
