Opportunity Summary:
The Womens Educational Equity Act Program (WEEA), CFDA 84.083A, is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Education aimed at advancing gender equity in education across the United States. At its core, the program is designed to support efforts that reduce and eliminate sex-based barriers in educational settings, strengthen compliance with federal civil rights protections under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.), and expand equitable educational opportunities for women and girls. A notable emphasis of the program is on addressing the needs of women and girls who face multiple, overlapping forms of discrimination, including those tied to sex alongside race, ethnic origin, limited English proficiency, disability, or age. In other words, WEEA is positioned not only as a gender-equity initiative, but also as a tool for helping schools and communities respond to compounded inequities that can limit access, participation, and success in education.
For the FY 2009 competition referenced in the notice, the Department anticipated making about 10 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,827,714. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. The opportunity was posted January 2, 2009, with applications made available the same day. The deadline for transmittal of applications was February 23, 2009, and the opportunity was later archived March 25, 2009. The funding opportunity number listed for this competition is ED-GRANTS-010209-001, and it falls under the education activity category.
Eligibility is broadly defined, reflecting the program's intent to support a wide range of entities working on gender equity and Title IX related issues. Eligible applicants include public agencies and private nonprofit agencies and organizations, and the notice specifically mentions community-based and faith-based organizations. It also extends eligibility to institutions, student groups, community groups, and even individuals, indicating that proposals can come from both formal organizations and less traditional applicant types, so long as they can carry out the grant activities and meet the requirements in the official Federal Register notice. Because the synopsis notes that details are governed by the Federal Register application notice, applicants are expected to consult that official publication for precise eligibility conditions and any additional requirements that may apply.
Applications under CFDA 84.083A were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the governmentwide "Apply" function. The process described involves downloading the application package from Grants.gov, completing it offline, and then uploading and submitting it through the site. The notice makes clear that applications could not be submitted by emailing an electronic copy directly to the Department. It also provides a practical instruction for locating the package on Grants.gov: applicants should search by the CFDA number without the alpha suffix, meaning they should search for "84.083" rather than "84.083A." For technical assistance with the Grants.gov system, the notice lists the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726 and support@grants.gov.
For applicants or interested parties needing access to the full announcement or having program-specific questions, the notice provides points of contact at the Department of Education. It notes that if someone has difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, they can reach out to LaTammya Morton, Management Analyst, at (202) 245-6126. It also lists Beverly A. Farrar at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, room 4W242, Washington, DC 20202-5950, with telephone (202) 205-3145, and an email contact identified as the program manager. The synopsis also reiterates that the authoritative details for the competition are those published in the Federal Register, which can be accessed online through the Government Publishing Office.
