Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children With Disabilities - Center on Dispute Resolution" (CFDA 84.326D), is a discretionary funding competition run by the U.S. Department of Education. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the Department expects to be actively involved with the funded project through ongoing collaboration and oversight rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The overall program sits within the Department's broader technical assistance and dissemination work focused on improving educational services and outcomes for children with disabilities.
The purpose of the Technical Assistance and Dissemination program is to promote academic achievement and improve results for children with disabilities by providing technical assistance, supporting model demonstration projects, sharing practical and useful information with the field, and carrying out activities grounded in scientifically based research. In this specific competition, the focus is a Center on Dispute Resolution, meaning the funded project is expected to strengthen how disputes are prevented, managed, and resolved within special education systems, consistent with the broader goal of improving services and outcomes for students with disabilities.
Funding for the competition was estimated at $500,000 total, with an award ceiling of $500,000, and the Department anticipated making a single award. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, so applicants were not expected to provide a formal match as a condition of receiving the grant. The opportunity was posted on July 30, 2008, applications became available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was August 29, 2008. The archive date is September 28, 2008, reflecting that the opportunity is no longer active.
Eligibility is broad and includes many common education and public service entities. Eligible applicants include State educational agencies (SEAs); local educational agencies (LEAs), including public charter schools that qualify as LEAs under state law; institutions of higher education (IHEs), including public and state-controlled institutions; other public agencies; private nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits that are not IHEs); for-profit organizations; outlying areas and freely associated states; Indian tribes and tribal organizations; state governments; county and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and small businesses. In practice, this means the competition was open to a wide range of applicants with the capacity to run a national or field-facing technical assistance and dissemination center related to dispute resolution in special education.
Applications were to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov rather than by email. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching for CFDA 84.326 (without the "D" suffix) on the Grants.gov site, download the package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through Grants.gov. The notice emphasizes that an application could not be submitted by emailing an electronic copy to the Department. For technical issues with Grants.gov, the opportunity lists the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726 and support@grants.gov.
The listing also points applicants to the official Federal Register notice as the controlling source for details that matter when preparing an application, including the full set of priorities, required application components, performance measures, selection criteria, and any pre-application or submission rules. An additional information link is provided to the Notice Inviting Applications for New Awards for FY 2008, which would contain the detailed program expectations for what the Center on Dispute Resolution needed to do and how proposals would be evaluated.
