Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a discretionary grant competition from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), under the Personnel Development to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities program. It is specifically the "Preparation of Special Education, Early Intervention, and Related Services Leadership Personnel" competition, listed under CFDA 84.325D. The core purpose is to strengthen the pipeline of well-prepared leadership personnel who can improve outcomes for children with disabilities, including infants and toddlers, by ensuring that the professionals serving them have the skills and knowledge needed to be effective in real-world settings.
The program is designed to address state-identified needs in personnel preparation across special education, related services, early intervention, and regular education roles that support children with disabilities. In practical terms, the competition is aimed at improving the quality and readiness of leaders in these fields, with an emphasis on training grounded in scientifically based research and experience. The notice highlights that funded work should help ensure personnel are equipped with evidence-informed practices and the competencies required to successfully serve children with disabilities and their families.
Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education (public, state-controlled, and private) and private nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits that do not hold 501(c)(3) status (as clarified in the official notice). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowers the barrier to participation for applicants that may not have additional resources to contribute.
From a funding standpoint, the competition anticipated making about 12 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,000,000. The award ceiling was listed as $250,000. These figures suggest the program intended to support multiple projects at a moderate award size, likely emphasizing targeted leadership preparation efforts rather than large-scale systems grants.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and the notice is explicit that applications could not be submitted by email. Applicants were instructed to find the application package by searching for CFDA 84.325 (without the "D" suffix) within Grants.gov, download the materials, complete them offline, and upload the final application through the system. The posting date was October 22, 2014, applications became available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was December 12, 2014. The opportunity was later archived on January 11, 2015.
The synopsis repeatedly emphasizes that the short description is not the authoritative source and that the official requirements, selection priorities, performance measures, and submission rules are contained in the Federal Register notice inviting applications. Applicants were directed to consult that official notice for details such as eligibility nuances, pre-application and application requirements, program priorities, and contact information for program and technical support. For support, the notice provided a Grants.gov systems contact (Julius Cotton, EducationGrantInquiries@ed.gov, 202-245-6288) and a program contact at the Department of Education (Program Manager Celia Rosenquist, Celia.Rosenquist@ed.gov, 202-245-7373).
