Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Technical Assistance and Dissemination To Improve Services and Results for Children With Disabilities - the Safe, Drug Free Schools, Communities Program - National Technical Assistance Center/Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)" (CFDA 84.326S), is a discretionary U.S. Department of Education funding competition designed to support a single national technical assistance center focused on PBIS. The project sits within the broader Technical Assistance and Dissemination program, which emphasizes helping children with disabilities achieve stronger academic outcomes and improved overall results by expanding the availability and use of effective, research-based practices. The core idea is to strengthen what schools and related agencies do by offering technical assistance, spreading practical tools and guidance, and supporting implementation approaches that are grounded in scientifically based research.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically means the Department of Education expects to have a more active role in overseeing and collaborating on the work as it is carried out. The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,685,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The funding activity category is Education, and the competition is associated with special education technical assistance and dissemination activities. While the synopsis does not list specific required activities in detail, it makes clear that the funded center is expected to provide technical assistance and dissemination that ultimately improves school and student outcomes, with PBIS as the focal framework for improving behavior supports and school climate in ways that help students, including students with disabilities, succeed academically and socially.
Eligibility is broad and includes State educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs) including public charter schools that qualify as LEAs under State law, institutions of higher education (IHEs), other public agencies, private nonprofit organizations, outlying areas, freely associated States, Indian tribes or tribal organizations, and for-profit organizations. In other words, a wide range of entities could apply, as long as they can credibly operate a national-level technical assistance center and meet the expectations described in the official Federal Register notice. Because the grant is meant to support a national technical assistance center, applicants would generally be expected to demonstrate strong expertise in PBIS and implementation support, the capacity to work across multiple states or regions, and the ability to produce and distribute usable materials that practitioners can adopt.
The application process required electronic submission through Grants.gov. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix (search "84.326" rather than "84.326S"). Key timeline details were: applications became available on July 5, 2013; the deadline for transmittal of applications was August 19, 2013; and the opportunity was archived on September 18, 2013. For technical submission help, the Grants.gov help desk contact information was provided (1-800-518-4726 and support@grants.gov). The synopsis also notes that the description provided is only a summary and that the Federal Register application notice is the authoritative source for exact requirements, selection criteria, and definitions.
For points of contact at the Department of Education, the notice listed Joyce Mays, Management Analyst (202-245-6122, joyce.mays@ed.gov), and Program Manager Renee Bradley (202-245-7277), with the Department address at 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20202. In practical terms, this opportunity was aimed at funding one national PBIS technical assistance center that could help schools and agencies implement evidence-based behavioral supports at scale, disseminate proven resources, and contribute to improved educational and behavioral outcomes for children with disabilities within the broader safe and supportive schools context.
