Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Training and Information for Parents of Children with Disabilities Parent Training and Information Centers" (CFDA 84.328M), is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Education. Its central goal is to make sure parents of children with disabilities have access to practical training and reliable information that can help them advocate effectively and, ultimately, improve educational and developmental outcomes for their children. The program is framed around the idea that when families understand their rights, the services available, and how special education and early intervention systems work, children are more likely to receive appropriate supports and make stronger progress.
The competition referenced is for Fiscal Year 2010 new awards. The opportunity was posted May 3, 2010, applications became available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was June 17, 2010, with an archive date of July 17, 2010. The Department expected to make about 70 awards under this notice. The estimated total funding available was $3,805,022, and the listed award ceiling was $538,997. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is targeted and tied to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Eligible applicants are Parent Training and Information Centers and parent organizations as defined in section 671(a)(2) of IDEA. In practical terms, an eligible parent organization must be a private nonprofit organization (and not an institution of higher education) with a board of directors where the majority are parents of children with disabilities from birth through age 26. The board also must include individuals working in special education, related services, and early intervention, as well as individuals with disabilities, and it must be broadly representative of the population to be served, explicitly including low income parents and parents of children with limited English proficiency. The organization must have a mission focused on serving families of children with disabilities from birth through age 26 across the full range of disability categories recognized under IDEA.
