Opportunity Summary:
The Special Education Research Training Program (Schedule 84.324B, CFDA 84.324B) is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Education through the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). It was announced as part of the IES FY 2010 research competitions authorized under the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-279). The program sits within IES broader mission to provide national leadership in building strong, evidence-based knowledge about education and to expand what the field understands about learning and instruction across the full education pipeline, from early childhood through postsecondary and adult education, with this specific competition focused on research training connected to special education.
At its core, the opportunity is meant to strengthen the research workforce in special education by supporting training activities that help develop the skills, methods, and expertise needed to produce high-quality, trustworthy research. The larger stated purpose behind IES research grant programs is to ensure that parents, educators, students, researchers, policymakers, and the general public have access to reliable and valid information about education practices that improve learning outcomes, academic achievement, and access to educational opportunities for all students. In practice, that translates into supporting projects that build research capacity in areas of national need and that can ultimately improve decision-making and results for learners, including students with disabilities.
Applications for this competition were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov (not by email). Applicants had to locate the correct application package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix (for example, searching "84.324" rather than "84.324B"). The request for applications package became available on March 23, 2009, and the deadline for transmitting applications was June 25, 2009, with the opportunity later archived on July 25, 2009. The listing specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of organizations and governments that commonly participate in federal education research and training work. Eligible applicants included state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts, as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The competition also allowed participation from nonprofit organizations (including both those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations (including federally recognized tribal governments). Because eligibility can have important nuances, the notice emphasizes that applicants should rely on the official Federal Register announcement for the authoritative requirements and any clarifications.
The synopsis also highlights that the Federal Register notice is the controlling document for details that matter when preparing an application, including priorities, required components, performance measures, submission rules, and contact information. For help with access or technical issues related to the full announcement, the listing provides a Grants.gov system contact (Julius Cotton, (202) 245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov). Program-level questions were directed to the program manager at IES (Jacquelyn Buckley, (202) 219-2130), located at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20202. The Grants.gov Helpdesk number included with the notice was 1-800-518-4726, with support also available via support@grants.gov.
