Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Training and Information for Parents of Children with Disabilities Community Parent Resource Centers" (CFDA 84.328C), is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Education. Its core purpose is to make sure parents of children with disabilities can access practical training and reliable information that helps them advocate effectively and improve educational and life outcomes for their children. The opportunity is specifically framed around supporting Community Parent Resource Centers, which are intended to serve families at the local level and strengthen parents ability to understand disability related services, special education processes, and rights under federal law.
The funding announcement is presented as a synopsis of a Federal Register notice, meaning the legally controlling and complete requirements are contained in the official Federal Register publication. Applicants are expected to rely on that official notice for the full set of rules, including eligibility details, application formatting and submission requirements, performance measures, program priorities, and other compliance expectations. The announcement also points readers to free access to the Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations through the Government Publishing Office website, emphasizing that applicants should verify all requirements in the official source rather than relying solely on the summary.
For FY 2010, the program anticipated making about 50 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $1,000,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000 per grant. The notice indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The opportunity was posted on May 3, 2010, applications became available the same day, and the deadline to submit applications was June 17, 2010. The archive date listed is July 17, 2010, which generally signals that the competition has closed and the posting is retained for historical reference.
Eligibility is focused on Community Parent Resource Centers and, more specifically, on local parent organizations as described under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The notice highlights that, under IDEA section 672(a)(2), a "local parent organization" must meet structural and mission based criteria. It must have a board of directors where a majority are parents of children with disabilities (from birth through age 26) drawn from the community the organization intends to serve. It also must have a mission centered on serving parents in that community who have children ages birth through 26 and who represent the full range of disabilities recognized under IDEA. In practical terms, this means the competition is not meant for just any nonprofit or service provider; it is meant for parent led organizations with governance and programs clearly rooted in the local community of families they serve.
Applications were expected to be submitted electronically through the Department of Educations e Application system via the e Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice is explicit that applicants cannot simply email a copy of the application; instead, applicants must use the designated electronic system where information is entered online and stored in a database. This detail matters because it signals that compliance with the submission method is a condition of consideration, and applicants would need to plan for account access, system readiness, and timely submission through the official portal.
The posting includes a direct link to the full Notice Inviting Applications for New Awards for FY 2010, which is where applicants would find the exact instructions on what to submit, how proposals are evaluated, what priorities might shape scoring, what reporting is required, and how success is measured. It also lists contact points for both technical access issues and programmatic questions. For technical difficulties accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a contact in the ED Grants.gov/FIND systems administration function (Julius Cotton, with phone and email). For program questions, it lists the program manager (Carmen Sanchez) at the U.S. Department of Education, including office address and telephone number.
