Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 062920 001
This funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education (CFDA 84.326E; Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 062920 001) supports the creation and operation of a National Technical Assistance Center focused on transition for students and youth with disabilities. It sits under two related federal efforts: the Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities program, and the Demonstration and Training program authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended by Title IV of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, or WIOA). In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at improving transition outcomes by funding a single national center that can provide high-quality technical assistance, spread evidence-based practices, and strengthen systems that help young people with disabilities move from school into postsecondary education, training, employment, and independent living.
The first program component, Technical Assistance and Dissemination, emphasizes raising academic achievement and improving overall results for children with disabilities by delivering technical assistance (TA), supporting model demonstration approaches, and distributing useful, research-backed information to the field. The second component, Demonstration and Training, focuses more directly on expanding and improving vocational rehabilitation (VR) and other rehabilitation services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act. That includes activities that increase the availability, scope, and quality of rehabilitation services, along with related research and evaluation work. Together, these program purposes point to a center that is expected to bridge education and VR systems, help practitioners implement proven strategies, and improve coordination so that transition services produce better, measurable outcomes.
The award is structured as a discretionary grant/cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of Education may have substantial involvement in guiding the project during the performance period (as is typical for cooperative agreements). The anticipated number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $4,100,000, indicating a single, large national effort rather than multiple smaller regional projects. Eligible applicants are broad and include state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribes and other tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status); and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, along with other entities as clarified in the official notice. This wide eligibility reflects the federal intent to attract a lead organization with the capacity to operate at national scale and to work across sectors.
Key timing details included in the synopsis are that applications were made available June 29, 2020, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was August 28, 2020. The announcement directs applicants to rely on the official Federal Register notice for the complete and controlling requirements, including eligibility nuances, priorities, application submission instructions, performance measures, and contact information. It also points applicants to the Department of Education "Common Instructions" for discretionary grant programs (published February 13, 2019) for standardized directions on how to obtain and submit an application.
For program administration and questions, the synopsis lists Department contacts Selete Avoke (Selete.Avoke@ed.gov; 202-245-7260) and Kristen Rhinehart-Fernandez (Kristen.Rhinehart@ed.gov; 202-245-6103), both at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, DC. Overall, the opportunity is designed to fund a national technical assistance hub that uses scientifically based research, demonstration-informed strategies, and strong dissemination to improve transition services and rehabilitation-related outcomes for students and youth with disabilities, while strengthening the systems that deliver those services.Apply for ED GRANTS 062920 001
