Opportunity Summary:
The Training and Information for Parents of Children with Disabilities Parent Training and Information Centers opportunity (CFDA 84.328M) 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 developmental results for their children. In other words, the program is designed to strengthen families ability to navigate special education and related supports by funding Parent Training and Information Centers that provide guidance, resources, and training directly to parents.
This opportunity was posted on February 27, 2012, with applications made available the same day and a deadline to submit by April 27, 2012. The program anticipated making about 27 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $9,994,041. Individual awards had an estimated maximum (award ceiling) of $791,336. The notice indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants generally were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility is limited primarily to parent organizations (listed under eligibility information), with the listing in the opportunity also noting that applicants should refer to the official Federal Register notice for the complete eligibility rules and any additional conditions. The listing repeatedly emphasizes that the Grants.gov summary is only a synopsis and that the official, controlling details are contained in the Federal Register application notice, including the required elements of an application, submission rules, performance measures, priorities, and program contacts.
Applications were intended to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov as part of a governmentwide initiative, and the Department explicitly states that applications cannot be submitted by emailing an electronic copy to the agency. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package on Grants.gov by searching for the CFDA number without the letter suffix, meaning applicants should search for 84.328 rather than 84.328M. The opportunity is associated with a broader set of related competitions under the Training and Information for Parents of Children with Disabilities Program, including CFDA 84.328C and 84.328M, both handled through the same Grants.gov application process.
For help with accessing the announcement or dealing with Grants.gov systems issues, the listing provides a technical contact (Julius Cotton, ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin, 202-245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov). For programmatic questions, it lists the program manager (Lisa Gorove, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 4048, Potomac Center Plaza, Washington, DC 20202-2550, 202-245-7357, Lisa.Gorove@ed.gov).
