Opportunity Summary:
The Special Education Research grant opportunity (CFDA 84.324A) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Education through the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). It was announced as part of the FY 2011 IES research competitions under the authority of the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (Title I of Public Law 107-279). The overall intent is to provide national leadership by expanding what is known about education, with this particular competition focused on research in special education. In practical terms, the program is meant to fund scientifically valid research that improves understanding of what works, for whom, and under what conditions for students with disabilities, and to translate that knowledge into stronger educational practices and better access to educational opportunities.
The purpose centers on producing reliable, valid information that parents, educators, students, researchers, policymakers, and the public can use to support learning and improve academic achievement. IES frames these grants as a way to build fundamental knowledge and strengthen evidence about education practices, spanning the full education pipeline from early childhood through postsecondary and adult education. Within special education research, this typically means generating evidence on interventions, programs, services, instructional approaches, or systems-level practices that can improve outcomes for students with disabilities and address nationally significant needs.
Applications for this opportunity are required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. Applicants are expected to download the application package from Grants.gov, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through the system. The notice explicitly states that applications cannot be submitted by emailing an electronic copy to the agency. The timeline included in the posting indicates that applications became available on February 22, 2010, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was September 16, 2010, with an archive date of October 16, 2010. The posting date and creation date listed are both February 18, 2010.
Eligibility is broad, reflecting IES interest in funding capable research teams rather than limiting applicants to a narrow set of institutions. Eligible applicants include state governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and other entities as described in the official notice. The key eligibility standard emphasized in the synopsis is that applicants must have the ability and capacity to conduct scientifically valid research. This makes the competition accessible to universities, research organizations, districts and agencies with research capacity, and other public or private entities able to meet IES methodological expectations.
The opportunity is categorized as a grant under the education funding activity category, and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The agency name is the Department of Education, with IES as the institute administering the research competitions. The synopsis also points applicants to the official Federal Register notice as the controlling source for requirements, including detailed priorities, performance measures, application formatting and content rules, and official points of contact. It notes that the Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations can be accessed online, and that applicants should rely on the official notice for the most specific and up-to-date instructions.
For applicants needing help or more information, the announcement lists contacts associated with Grants.gov systems support and program administration, including a systems administrator contact for access issues and program staff contacts at IES. The program manager listed for this competition is based at IES in Washington, DC, with contact details provided in the notice.
