Opportunity Summary:
The Training and Information for Parents of Children With Disabilities Parent Training and Information Centers grant (CFDA 84.328M) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education focused on strengthening support for families of children and youth with disabilities. The core purpose is straightforward: to make sure parents receive practical training and reliable information that helps them advocate effectively and improve educational and developmental outcomes for their children. This opportunity is part of the broader Training and Information for Parents of Children with Disabilities Program, which includes related competitions under CFDA 84.328C and 84.328M, and it is administered in alignment with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Funding was announced under Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-030111-002, with applications made available on March 1, 2011 and a deadline to submit applications by April 15, 2011. The program anticipated making about 19 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,384,325. Individual awards were capped at an award ceiling of $632,439. 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 is limited and targeted. Applicants must be "parent organizations" as defined in section 671(a)(2) of IDEA. In practical terms, that means the applicant must be a private nonprofit organization (and not an institution of higher education) whose board of directors is majority parents of children with disabilities from birth through age 26. The board must also include individuals active in special education, related services, and early intervention, as well as individuals with disabilities, and it must be broadly representative of the population served. That representation is explicitly expected to include low-income parents and parents of children with limited English proficiency. The organization must also have a mission centered on serving families of children with disabilities ages birth through 26, across the full range of disability categories covered by IDEA.
Applications were intended to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov rather than by email. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching the base CFDA number "84.328" (without the letter suffix, so not "84.328M"). The announcement emphasizes that the summary provided is only a synopsis and that the controlling details for requirements, priorities, performance measures, and submission rules are found in the official Federal Register notice. The notice also points applicants to free access to the Federal Register and federal regulations through the Government Publishing Office.
