Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education (ED), within the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) and the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). It is part of the Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities program, and the specific competition is for a National Center focused on Students with Disabilities Who Require Intensive Intervention. The program’s broad purpose is to raise academic achievement and improve outcomes for children with disabilities by delivering high-quality technical assistance, supporting model demonstration work, sharing practical and useful information, and promoting approaches grounded in scientifically based research.
The award is offered as a discretionary, cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department expects substantial involvement in the work after the award is made (for example, coordination on deliverables, priorities, and performance expectations). The CFDA number tied to this competition is 84.326Q, and the funding opportunity number is ED GRANTS 031416 001. The listing indicates an expected number of awards of one, with an award ceiling of $2,100,000, signaling that ED intends to fund a single national center up to that maximum amount.
Eligibility is broad and includes many common education and public service entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, city/township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those categories); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and other entities as allowed under the notice (with the caveat that the official application notice should be checked for any clarifications or limits). In practice, this mix of eligible applicants suggests ED is open to proposals led by universities, nonprofits, state or local agencies, or specialized organizations with the capacity to operate at a national scale and provide intensive, evidence-informed assistance.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov rather than by email or other methods. Applicants were directed to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix, meaning applicants should search for “84.326” rather than “84.326Q” to find the downloadable package. The application process involves downloading the forms and narrative package, completing materials offline, and then uploading and submitting through the Grants.gov “Apply” workflow. The original and current closing date listed for this specific posting was April 28, 2016, and the opportunity was posted on March 14, 2016.
Because the text provided is a synopsis, the notice emphasizes that the controlling details are in the official Federal Register application notice. That official notice is where applicants would find the complete requirements, including any pre-application steps, required project components, formatting and page limits, selection criteria, priorities, performance measures, reporting expectations, and the program contact information. The synopsis also notes that the Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations can be accessed online through the Government Publishing Office resources, reinforcing that applicants should rely on the official published notice for compliance and full instructions.
