Opportunity Summary:
The Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities (SDFSC) Programs for Native Hawaiians grant opportunity (CFDA 84.186C) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Education. Its core purpose is to fund organizations that primarily serve and represent Native Hawaiians so they can plan, operate, and manage projects aimed at preventing or reducing school and community problems tied to violence, illegal drugs (including use, possession, and distribution), and delinquency. In practical terms, the program is meant to support prevention-focused efforts that strengthen safety and well-being for Native Hawaiian communities, especially efforts that are organized and led by Native Hawaiian-serving entities.
This 2009 competition was announced because an earlier competition using FY 2008 funds, published in the Federal Register on January 22, 2009, did not result in any successful awards. As a result, the Department reopened the competition and invited applications again under a specified priority described in the official Federal Register notice. The summary provided in the posting is explicitly a synopsis, and applicants are directed to the Federal Register notice for the controlling requirements, including eligibility rules, how to apply, required forms and narratives, selection criteria, performance measures, priorities, and official contact points. The official Federal Register and CFR access were referenced through GPO Access (as it was branded at the time).
Funding details in the posting indicate an estimated total available funding amount of $579,518, with an expectation of making 2 awards. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award (though the full notice may still describe how budgets are evaluated). The opportunity was posted on June 30, 2009, with applications made available the same day, and it carried a deadline for transmittal of applications of July 30, 2009. The archive date was August 29, 2009, which reflects that the competition window had closed.
Eligibility is limited and targeted. Eligible applicants are organizations that primarily serve and represent Native Hawaiians, and the funded work must be for the benefit of Native Hawaiians. The notice also restates the statutory definition used for "Native Hawaiian" in section 4117(b) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA): a Native Hawaiian is any individual with ancestry tracing to the natives of the area that now comprises the State of Hawaii prior to 1778. That definition matters because it frames who the program is intended to benefit and may shape how applicants describe target populations and document community connections in their proposals.
On application submission, the Department required electronic submission through its e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice emphasizes that applicants could not submit an application by emailing an electronic copy; instead, the application data had to be entered and saved in the system’s online database through the designated portal. For applicants, this typically means planning ahead for account setup, validating the ability to access the system, and meeting technical submission steps and deadlines described in the official notice.
Finally, the posting provides federal contacts for both systems/access help and program questions. For technical difficulties accessing the full announcement, it lists Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Administrator) with phone number 202-245-6140 and email julius.cotton@ed.gov. For program-related questions, it lists Program Manager Pat Rattler at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Room 10073, Potomac Center Plaza (PCP), Washington, DC 20202-4260, with telephone number 202-245-7893 and an email contact referenced in the posting. The related "Additional Information" link points to the official notice inviting applications for new awards using FY 2008 funds, which is the document applicants were expected to rely on for full requirements and instructions.
