Opportunity Summary:
The Technology and Media Services for Individuals with Disabilities Center on Technology Implementation grant (CFDA 84.327G) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education focused on improving educational outcomes for children with disabilities through better use of technology and accessible instructional media. The program is designed to promote the development, demonstration, and practical use of technology in educational settings, support educational media services that have clear value for classroom instruction for children with disabilities, and expand access to captioning and video description for educational materials intended for classroom use. In other words, the federal goal is to strengthen how schools and educators implement tools and media that make learning more accessible and effective for students with disabilities, with an emphasis on real-world classroom impact.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of Education expected to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funding notice anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,375,000 and an award ceiling of $1,375,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The funding opportunity number associated with this competition was ED-GRANTS-071009-002, and it was tied to the Technology and Media Services for Individuals with Disabilities program area within special education educational technology, media, and materials.
A wide range of applicants were considered eligible, reflecting the program's intent to reach both education systems and organizations that can operate at scale. Eligible applicants included state educational agencies and local educational agencies (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 those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), outlying areas and freely associated states, Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations, state and local governments (including counties, cities or townships, and special districts), and for-profit organizations. This broad eligibility suggests the Department was open to strong proposals from many types of entities as long as they could credibly operate a center focused on technology implementation for students with disabilities.
The timeline in the notice was straightforward: applications became available on July 10, 2009, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was August 10, 2009, with the opportunity later archived on September 9, 2009. Applications were expected to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). A key procedural point is that applicants were not allowed to submit an application by emailing a copy; the submission had to occur through the official electronic system, where data is entered online and saved to a database.
The published description provided in the listing is explicitly a synopsis of the official Federal Register notice, and applicants were directed to rely on the Federal Register application notice as the authoritative source for the full requirements. That official notice would contain the specifics that typically determine competitiveness and compliance, including detailed eligibility clarifications, any absolute or competitive priorities, required project activities, performance measures, formatting and narrative requirements, and submission instructions. The listing also pointed readers to an additional information link described as the notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2009 for this Center on Technology Implementation.
For support and questions, the notice listed two contacts: Julius Cotton as the ED Grants.gov and systems administration contact for technical access issues (phone 202-245-6140; email julius.cotton@ed.gov) and David Malouf as the program manager at the U.S. Department of Education (Potomac Center Plaza, Washington, DC 20202-2550; phone 202-245-6253).
