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 more students with intellectual disabilities move successfully into college and other postsecondary settings. The central aim is to fund model demonstration programs that show how institutions of higher education can create or expand high-quality, inclusive transition and postsecondary programs. In practice, this means supporting colleges and universities as they build structured, replicable approaches that help students with intellectual disabilities access campus life, participate in academic and career-related learning opportunities, and improve long-term outcomes related to independence and employment.
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education (IHEs) as defined under section 101(a) of the Higher Education Act, as well as consortia of IHEs. Both public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education can apply, as long as they meet the federal definition of an eligible IHE. The program requires cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support) in addition to the federal award, consistent with the official notice requirements. This matching component is intended to strengthen institutional buy-in and sustainability beyond the grant period.
Applicants were required to submit proposals electronically through the Department of Education e-Application system available via the Department's e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). Applications could not be submitted by email, and the system is set up so applicants enter data directly online, which is then stored in a database. The funding opportunity referenced a Federal Register notice inviting applications as the authoritative source for requirements, including detailed eligibility rules, how to apply, priorities, performance measures, and contact information. The synopsis emphasizes that the Federal Register notice governs if there is any discrepancy between summaries and the official announcement.
In the 2010 competition described, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-063010-003) had an estimated total funding amount of $10,563,300, with an expected 25 awards. The award ceiling was listed as $500,000 per award. Key dates included an applications-available date of June 30, 2010 and an application deadline (deadline for transmittal) of July 30, 2010, with the opportunity later archived on August 29, 2010. The activity category is Education, and the funding instrument is a Grant.
For applicants needing support or official clarification, the notice provided federal contacts. Technical access issues for the full announcement could be directed to Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin, 202-245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov).
