Opportunity Summary:
The OSERS/OSEP Promoting the Readiness of Minors in Supplemental Security Income (PROMISE) Technical Assistance Center grant opportunity (CFDA 84.418T) is a U.S. Department of Education discretionary funding competition designed to support a single national technical assistance (TA) center that helps PROMISE model demonstration projects operate effectively. PROMISE itself is a multi-agency initiative led jointly by the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Social Security Administration, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Department of Labor. The broader goal of PROMISE is to improve how services and supports are delivered and coordinated for children who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and for their families, with the long-term intent of improving life outcomes (such as education and employment pathways) and reducing future dependence on SSI cash benefits.
This particular funding opportunity focuses on strengthening implementation capacity. In FY 2013, the Department funded six PROMISE model demonstration projects (MDPs) for three years, with the possibility of extending for two additional years based on performance, for a total potential project period of five years. The PROMISE Technical Assistance Center is meant to serve those demonstration projects by providing hands-on, structured support that helps them launch, manage, refine, and sustain their work. In practical terms, the center is expected to help the MDPs carry out their project designs with fidelity, solve implementation problems, improve cross-system coordination, and enhance the quality and consistency of services aimed at child SSI recipients and their families. The announcement notes that applicants should consult the official Federal Register notice for the full set of requirements, priorities, performance measures, and submission rules, since the posted description is only a synopsis.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the Department of Education anticipates substantial involvement with the grantee during the project period (for example, active coordination, shared planning, and federal participation in major decisions or activities), rather than a more hands-off grant relationship. The opportunity anticipated one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,000,000 and an award ceiling of $500,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is stated in the synopsis.
Eligibility is broad and includes state educational agencies, local educational agencies (including public charter schools that operate as LEAs and receive IDEA Part B funds), institutions of higher education, other public agencies, private nonprofit organizations, outlying areas, freely associated states, Indian tribes or tribal organizations, and for-profit organizations. Because the eligible applicant list spans multiple sectors, the competition appears open to a range of entities capable of running a national TA operation, building partnerships across education and human services systems, and supporting complex multi-site demonstration work focused on youth with disabilities and low-income families connected to SSI.
The administrative details in the notice emphasize that applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the downloadable application package associated with CFDA 84.418 (without the alpha suffix when searching). Applications became available April 21, 2014, and the deadline for transmittal was June 5, 2014, with the opportunity later archived July 5, 2014. The funding opportunity number is ED-GRANTS-042114-002, and the activity category is Education.
For applicants or interested stakeholders seeking the most authoritative guidance, the notice directs readers to the official Federal Register publication and the PROMISE program materials (including the PROMISE website and the May 21, 2013 Federal Register notice referenced at 78 FR 29733). The posting also provides contacts for technical submission issues through ED Grants.gov support and for programmatic questions through the Department of Education program manager listed in the announcement.
