Opportunity Summary:
The Transition Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities into Higher Education (TPSID) Model Comprehensive Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities grant (CFDA 84.407A) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to help students with intellectual disabilities successfully move into and through higher education. The core aim is to fund model demonstration programs that either create new or expand existing high-quality, inclusive comprehensive transition and postsecondary (CTP) programs within institutions of higher education. In practical terms, the competition is meant to strengthen college-based pathways that support students with intellectual disabilities in accessing campus life, participating in inclusive academic and career-oriented experiences, and building skills that improve post-college outcomes.
Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education, as defined under section 101 of the Higher Education Act, as well as consortia of IHEs. The opportunity anticipates making about 25 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $9,702,980. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources in addition to the federal grant funds, consistent with the requirements described in the official Federal Register notice.
The application process is electronic and must be completed through Grants.gov. Applicants are instructed to locate the correct application package by searching for the CFDA number without the letter suffix (search "84.407" rather than "84.407A"). Key dates listed for this competition were: applications available on June 26, 2015, with a deadline for submission (transmittal) of August 10, 2015, and an archive date of September 9, 2015. For technical issues with the online submission system, the Grants.gov Helpdesk is provided at 1-800-518-4726 and support@grants.gov, which is especially relevant because late or incomplete submissions due to avoidable technical problems can jeopardize an application.
Because the posted description is only a synopsis, the official guidance for applicants is the Federal Register application notice, which is where applicants would find the definitive rules and details, including pre-application and application requirements, how applications must be formatted and submitted, the program’s performance measures, any competitive priorities, and program contact information. The notice also points applicants to free access to the Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations via the Government Publishing Office website.
