Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities: Technical Assistance Center for Inclusive School Wide Reform" (CFDA 84.326Y), is a discretionary U.S. Department of Education grant program that supports the creation and operation of a national technical assistance center focused on inclusive schoolwide reform. The central goal is to help State educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs) successfully implement and sustain inclusive schoolwide reform in kindergarten through grade 8 (K-8) settings, with an emphasis on improving services and outcomes for children with disabilities. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the Department of Education expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance (for example, coordinating on priorities, deliverables, and dissemination activities).
The opportunity was posted on June 19, 2012, with applications made available the same day. The deadline for transmittal of applications was August 3, 2012, and the opportunity was archived on September 2, 2012. The Department anticipated making one award under this competition, with an estimated total funding level of $4,900,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligible applicants were broad and included institutions of higher education (IHEs), other public agencies, private nonprofit organizations, and for-profit organizations. Applicants were also allowed to apply as a consortium, which can be useful for combining expertise across research institutions, technical assistance providers, and implementation partners. While the synopsis does not spell out every required activity, it clearly frames the center as a vehicle for technical assistance and dissemination, meaning the funded entity would be expected to support SEA and LEA capacity through guidance, tools, training, implementation support, and sharing of effective practices related to inclusive schoolwide reform for K-8 programs.
Applications could be submitted electronically through Grants.gov or submitted in paper format by mail or hand delivery. Applicants using Grants.gov were instructed to search for the application package using the CFDA number without the alpha suffix (search for 84.326 rather than 84.326Y). For submission or system troubleshooting, the Grants.gov Helpdesk contact information was provided (1-800-518-4726 and support@grants.gov). The notice also emphasized that the synopsis is not a substitute for the official Federal Register application notice, which serves as the authoritative source for requirements, selection criteria, and detailed program expectations; applicants were directed to access the Federal Register online via GPO Access.
For program and administrative questions, the announcement listed Department of Education contacts including Joyce Mays (Management Analyst, 202-245-6122, joyce.mays@ed.gov) and program manager Grace Zamora Dura, located at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, room 4088, Potomac Center Plaza, Washington, DC 20202, with a phone number of 202-245-7328.
