Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education under the Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities program, listed as CFDA 84.326R. It is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department expects to have substantial involvement with the awardees during the project period (for example, coordinating activities, setting expectations for deliverables, or aligning work with federal priorities). The specific competition referenced here focuses on Regional Resource Centers intended to strengthen services and outcomes for children with disabilities through organized technical assistance and the spread of effective, research-supported practices.
The core purpose of the program is to improve academic achievement and overall results for children with disabilities. It aims to do that by providing technical assistance to entities responsible for special education and related services, supporting model demonstration work, sharing useful information broadly, and carrying out activities grounded in scientifically based research. In practical terms, projects funded under this authority are meant to help schools, districts, and state systems use proven approaches more consistently, solve implementation problems, and build capacity so improvements last beyond the grant period.
The opportunity was posted July 10, 2009, with applications available the same day and a deadline for transmittal of applications of August 10, 2009. The competition anticipated making about six awards. The estimated total funding amount was $7,800,000, and the stated award ceiling was $1,300,000 per award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, meaning applicants were not required to bring non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility under the information provided.
Eligibility is broad and spans many types of organizations involved in education and public service delivery. Eligible applicants include State educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs), including public charter schools that qualify as LEAs under state law, as well as institutions of higher education (both public and private). Other eligible entities include other public agencies, private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits and other nonprofit structures), state, county, city, township, special district governments, outlying areas and freely associated states, federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. This wide eligibility reflects the reality that technical assistance and dissemination efforts often require partnerships among state systems, school districts, research institutions, nonprofits, and service organizations.
Applications were expected to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice emphasizes that applicants cannot submit an application by emailing an electronic copy; instead, they must enter and save data within the online system as part of the formal submission process. The announcement also notes that the funding opportunity description provided is only a synopsis and that the controlling requirements, priorities, performance measures, and submission instructions are contained in the official Federal Register notice.
For applicants or organizations trying to understand the competition requirements in full detail, the Department directed readers to the official Federal Register application notice, which includes specifics like any absolute or competitive priorities, required project activities, expected outcomes and reporting, and selection criteria. Contact information was provided for both technical access issues and program questions: Julius Cotton was listed as an ED Grants.gov/FIND systems administrator contact for electronic access difficulties, and Rex Shipp was listed as the program manager at the U.S. Department of Education for program-related questions.
