Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, CFDA 84.326U, falls under the U.S. Department of Education program called Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities. The core aim of the program is to raise academic achievement and improve long-term results for children with disabilities by funding projects that provide high-quality technical assistance, support model demonstration efforts, share practical information broadly, and carry out activities grounded in scientifically based research. In this specific competition, the focus is the National Center on Postsecondary Outcomes for Students with Disabilities, meaning the funded project is expected to concentrate on improving what happens to students with disabilities as they move into, participate in, and complete postsecondary education or training, and on helping systems use better information and practices to strengthen those outcomes.
The award is a discretionary federal grant made as a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a closer working relationship with the Department of Education than a standard grant. Under a cooperative agreement, the Department usually expects ongoing collaboration, regular communication, and alignment with federal expectations around deliverables, dissemination, and performance reporting. The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $800,000 and an award ceiling of $800,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, so applicants were not required to bring non-federal matching dollars as a condition of funding, although voluntary leverage and partnerships can still matter for competitiveness depending on the priorities and selection criteria in the official notice.
Eligibility is broad and covers many types of entities involved in education and disability services. Eligible applicants include State educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs) including public charter schools treated as LEAs under state law, institutions of higher education (IHEs), other public agencies, private nonprofit organizations, outlying areas, freely associated states, Indian tribes and tribal organizations, and for-profit organizations. The posting also explicitly notes that nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, private and public institutions of higher education, school districts, and various levels of government can be eligible, reflecting that the Department is open to a range of organizations capable of operating a national center and delivering technical assistance and dissemination at scale.
From an operations standpoint, the opportunity required applicants submitting electronically to use the Department of Education e-Application system through the e-Grants portal, and it clearly states that applications could not be submitted by emailing an electronic copy. The timeline in the synopsis shows the notice was posted July 17, 2009, applications became available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was August 17, 2009, with the opportunity later archived on September 16, 2009. Because this summary is explicitly described as only a synopsis of the Federal Register notice, the Department emphasizes that applicants should rely on the official Federal Register application notice for the complete rules of the competition, including required components, any absolute or competitive priorities, formatting and page limits, submission instructions, performance measures, reporting expectations, and program contact details.
Finally, the listing provides practical contact points for support. For technical issues accessing the full announcement or related systems, the contact is Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin), and for programmatic questions the program manager listed is Selete Avoke at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, DC, with phone and email provided in the notice.
