Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of Education announced a discretionary grant competition under the Personnel Preparation in Special Education, Early Intervention, and Related Services program, specifically Focus Area B: Preparing Personnel to Serve School-Age Children with Low Incidence Disabilities. This opportunity is listed under CFDA number 84.325K and is part of the broader Special Education Personnel Development efforts designed to improve services and results for children with disabilities. The grant is intended to support projects that strengthen the pipeline of well-prepared personnel who can effectively serve school-age students with low incidence disabilities, an area where specialized expertise is often difficult for schools and districts to recruit and retain.
Applications for this competition were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov rather than by paper submission. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching the base CFDA number "84.325" (without the letter suffix) in Grants.gov. The competition was posted on February 7, 2014, with applications made available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications set for April 8, 2014. The archive date was May 8, 2014, meaning the listing was later moved into an archived status after the close of the competition.
The Department anticipated making approximately 13 awards under this competition, with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000 reflected in the listing. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for applicants that may not have access to additional non-federal funds to meet a match requirement.
Eligibility centered on institutions of higher education (IHEs) and private nonprofit organizations. The eligibility fields in the notice indicate that both public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education could apply, along with nonprofit organizations (including those with or without 501(c)(3) status, as described in the listing). Because the published Grants.gov synopsis is explicitly described as a summary, applicants were directed to rely on the official Federal Register application notice for the definitive eligibility language, requirements, priorities, and application instructions.
For applicants needing help with the electronic submission process, the listing provided the Grants.gov Helpdesk contact information (phone 1-800-518-4726 and email support@grants.gov). For program or announcement access issues, the Department provided points of contact including Joyce Mays, Management Analyst (202-245-6122, joyce.mays@ed.gov), and additional program contacts via the Focus Group address at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, DC, along with an email contact for a program manager (sarah.allen@ed.gov). The announcement also emphasized that the authoritative version of the competition details is the Federal Register notice, accessible online through the Government Publishing Office resources, and that the synopsis should not be treated as a substitute for the official notice when preparing an application.
