Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 032124 001
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education, specifically the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) within the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS). It is part of the Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities program and is focused on funding the National Center for Systemic Improvement. The Assistance Listing Number for this competition is 84.326R, and the opportunity is offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which generally means the Department of Education expects to be substantially involved in shaping, guiding, or collaborating on key aspects of the work during the project period rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
At a high level, the purpose of this program is to improve academic achievement and overall results for children with disabilities. It does that by investing in technical assistance (TA), supporting model demonstration work, widely disseminating useful and practical information, and carrying out activities grounded in scientifically based research. In plain terms, the funded center is expected to help strengthen systems that serve students with disabilities by promoting approaches that have evidence behind them, translating those approaches into usable guidance and tools, and helping agencies and practitioners implement them effectively.
This specific competition anticipates making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with a maximum funding level (Award Ceiling) of $6,250,000. The original application deadline listed is May 20, 2024. The opportunity was created on March 21, 2024, and it appears in Grants.gov under the opportunity number ED GRANTS 032124 001. Because only one award is expected, this is a highly competitive national center-style award where applicants typically need to demonstrate deep expertise, strong national reach, strong project management capacity, and a credible plan for delivering technical assistance at scale.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that could credibly operate a national technical assistance center. Eligible applicants include State educational agencies (SEAs); local educational agencies (LEAs), including public charter schools that function as LEAs under State law; institutions of higher education (IHEs); other public agencies; private nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities); freely associated States and outlying areas; Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations; and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses, as listed). The eligibility list in the source also aligns with government categories such as State, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; and federally recognized Tribal governments and Tribal organizations.
The notice emphasizes that the description provided is only a synopsis and that the controlling, official requirements are in the Federal Register application notice. That official notice is where an applicant would find the real operational details that determine competitiveness and compliance, such as absolute and competitive priorities, required project components and deliverables, the project’s intended scope, evaluation and performance measurement requirements, reporting expectations, and submission instructions. The notice also points applicants to the Department’s Revised Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs (published December 7, 2022) for the required procedures and addresses related to obtaining and submitting an application.
In practical terms, an applicant considering this opportunity should expect to propose a center that delivers high-quality technical assistance and dissemination designed to improve systems and outcomes for children with disabilities, and should be prepared to work closely with OSEP under the cooperative agreement structure. The application strategy would typically need to show how the proposed center will identify needs, develop and share evidence-based resources, provide targeted and intensive TA where appropriate, measure whether the TA is improving implementation and outcomes, and communicate results clearly to the field, all while meeting the federal administrative and performance requirements laid out in the Federal Register notice.Apply for ED GRANTS 032124 001
