Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Technical Assistance on Data Collection - General Supervision Enhancement Grants (Alternate Academic Achievement Standards)" and listed under CFDA 84.373X, is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Education. The underlying purpose comes from section 616(i)(2) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), as amended, which allows the Department to fund technical assistance that strengthens States' ability to meet IDEA data collection requirements. In practical terms, the program is meant to help State systems collect, manage, and report the special education data they are required to submit, with this particular competition framed around issues tied to alternate academic achievement standards.
The funding announcement was posted on June 8, 2010, with applications made available the same day. The deadline for transmitting applications was July 23, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on August 22, 2010. The Department estimated total funding at $22,000,000 and expected to make about 15 awards. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $1,500,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
A wide range of applicants were eligible. The notice highlights State educational agencies (SEAs), other State-level entities referenced as OAs and FAS, and also notes that local educational agencies (LEAs) and public charter schools that qualify as LEAs under State law could apply if endorsed by the SEA to apply and carry out the project on the SEA's behalf. Beyond State and local education agencies, eligibility also included institutions of higher education (public or private), tribes and tribal organizations, other public agencies, private nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), and for-profit organizations. The announcement also encourages States and the other named State entities to form consortia with other eligible partners under the federal consortium rules at 34 CFR 75.127 through 75.129. The Department explicitly presents consortia as a practical and efficient way to meet the priority requirements, and defines a consortium broadly as any combination of eligible entities.
The application process emphasized electronic submission through the Department of Education's e-Application system, accessed through the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice makes clear that applicants should not email an electronic copy of the grant application to the Department. Instead, applicants complete the application online, entering information that is saved directly into the system database. The synopsis also stresses that this funding description is only a summary and that the official requirements, priorities, performance measures, and detailed instructions are contained in the Federal Register notice inviting applications for new FY 2010 awards. It points readers to free online access to the official Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations via the Government Publishing Office site listed in the notice.
For support and official points of contact, the opportunity lists Julius Cotton as the ED Grants.gov/FIND systems administrative contact for technical access issues, and Susan Weigert as the program manager within the U.S. Department of Education.
