Opportunity Summary:
The Training and Information for Parents of Children with Disabilities Community Parent Resource Centers grant (CFDA 84.328C) is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Education. Its overall goal is to make sure parents of children with disabilities can access practical training and reliable information that helps them support their children more effectively and, in turn, improve educational and developmental results for those children. In plain terms, the program funds community-based parent resource centers that can teach parents how to navigate disability-related services and supports, understand their rights, and participate meaningfully in decisions that affect their child.
This particular competition was posted on February 27, 2012, with applications made available the same day, and it set an application deadline (deadline for transmittal) of April 27, 2012. The opportunity was later archived on May 27, 2012. The Department estimated a total of $1,100,000 available for this competition and anticipated making about 11 awards. The listed award ceiling was $100,000 per award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility for this competition focused on local parent organizations (listed under eligible applicants). The listing also notes "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the explicit eligibility statement provided is that local parent organizations are eligible to apply. Because eligibility requirements and definitions can be specific (for example, what qualifies as a local parent organization, documentation requirements, service area expectations, or governance rules), applicants were directed to rely on the official Federal Register notice for the full, controlling details.
Applications were intended to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov as part of the governmentwide electronic application system. Applicants were instructed to find the application package by searching the base CFDA number "84.328" and not including the letter suffix (so, search 84.328 rather than 84.328C or 84.328M). The process described was to download the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through Grants.gov. The notice also makes clear that applications could not be submitted by emailing an electronic copy to the Department.
The announcement emphasizes that the synopsis is not a substitute for the official application notice published in the Federal Register. Key items such as detailed eligibility rules, required application components, any pre-application steps, submission instructions, program priorities, performance measures, and official points of contact are contained in that Federal Register notice. Applicants were directed to access the Federal Register online (through the referenced GPO access site at the time) to review the full requirements and ensure compliance, since the Federal Register version is treated as the official source.
For applicant support and program questions, the notice provided two points of contact. For help accessing the announcement electronically, the contact listed was Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov), reachable by phone at 202-245-6140 and by email at julius.cotton@ed.gov. For program-related questions, the program manager listed was Carmen Sanchez at the U.S. Department of Education, with a phone number of 202-245-6595 and email Carmen.Sanchez@ed.gov, located at 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Potomac Center Plaza (PCP), Room 4057, Washington, DC 20202-2550.
