Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a U.S. Department of Education discretionary grant competition under the program called "Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities," specifically the National Information Center competition identified as CFDA 84.326N. The overall purpose of the program is to raise academic achievement and improve outcomes for children with disabilities by funding work that helps the field use what is known to work. In practice, that means supporting technical assistance efforts, model demonstration projects, and the broad dissemination of useful, research-based information, along with activities that help schools and agencies implement approaches backed by scientifically based research.
The award is structured as 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 goals, deliverables, or dissemination). The funding opportunity number is ED GRANTS 071508 002. The posting date was July 15, 2008, applications became available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was August 14, 2008. The opportunity was later archived on September 13, 2008. The competition 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.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and private entities involved in education and services for children with disabilities. Eligible applicants include State educational agencies and local educational agencies, including public charter schools treated as LEAs under state law; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education; other public agencies; private nonprofit organizations; entities in outlying areas and freely associated states; Indian tribes and tribal organizations; and for-profit organizations. The listing also reflects a wide range of government and nonprofit categories, including state, county, city/township, special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, small businesses, and nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov rather than by email. Applicants were instructed to download the application package from Grants.gov, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through the system. When searching in Grants.gov, applicants were told to search using CFDA 84.326 (without the letter suffix), rather than 84.326N.
