Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of Education, supports a national Technical Assistance (TA) Center focused on helping education systems implement evidence-based practices that improve services and results for children with disabilities. It sits under the broader program called "Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities," which is designed to raise educational achievement by providing technical assistance, spreading useful information to the field, supporting model demonstration work, and ensuring that funded activities are grounded in scientifically based research. The CFDA listing for this competition is 84.326K (with the important application tip that applicants should search Grants.gov using 84.326, without the letter suffix).
The award is a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the Department anticipates being actively involved with the recipient in carrying out the work rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal engagement. The competition planned to make one single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,100,000 and an award ceiling of $1,100,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which typically lowers barriers for organizations that may not have substantial non-federal funds available to contribute.
Eligibility is broad and covers many types of entities that commonly deliver or support special education services and infrastructure. Eligible applicants include State educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs) including public charter schools that qualify as LEAs under state law, institutions of higher education (both public and private), other public agencies, private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), outlying areas, freely associated States, Indian tribes and tribal organizations, and for-profit organizations (including small businesses). This wide eligibility suggests the Department was aiming to attract applicants with strong technical expertise, national reach, and the capacity to influence practice across different settings, from state policy and district implementation to university-based research and training partnerships.
The application process emphasized electronic submission through Grants.gov. Applicants were expected to download the application package, complete it offline, and upload it back to Grants.gov for submission. The notice explicitly states that applications cannot be submitted by emailing an electronic copy to the Department, reinforcing that Grants.gov is the required submission channel. Key dates were: applications available on July 2, 2012, and the deadline for transmittal of applications on August 1, 2012, with the opportunity archived on August 31, 2012.
Because the posting is only a synopsis, it repeatedly directs prospective applicants to the official Federal Register notice for the full and controlling details. That official notice would contain the program priorities, required project components, pre-application or application requirements, performance measures, selection criteria, and other compliance expectations. The synopsis also provides points of contact for both technical submission issues (the ED Grants.gov system administrator) and programmatic questions (the named program manager), which is typical for federal competitions where applicants may need help navigating either the federal portal or the substantive requirements of the TA Center work.
In practical terms, the opportunity funded a single, Department-supported TA Center intended to drive adoption and faithful implementation of practices already supported by evidence, rather than encouraging purely exploratory or untested approaches. The focus on dissemination and scientifically based research signals that deliverables would likely include guidance products, training and coaching supports, implementation tools, and other scalable resources that state and local systems can use to improve special education outcomes, with an expectation of measurable impact aligned to federal performance measures described in the official notice.
