Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 061318 002
This discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), falls under CFDA 84.325K and is titled "Interdisciplinary Preparation in Special Education, Early Intervention, and Related Services for Personnel Serving Children with Disabilities who have High-Intensity Needs," specifically Focus Area A. In practical terms, it is designed to fund projects that strengthen how states and communities prepare professionals to serve children and youth with disabilities, with an emphasis on learners who have high-intensity needs and therefore require more specialized, coordinated, and research-informed supports. The program sits within the broader federal effort to build a workforce that can deliver effective special education, early intervention, and related services, including services for infants and toddlers, school-aged children, and transition-age youth.
The stated purpose of the program has two core parts. First, it aims to help address state-identified personnel preparation needs across special education, early intervention, related services, and regular education. That framing matters because it signals that the Department is not only interested in training special education specialists, but also in improving the preparation of the broader interdisciplinary teams that support children with disabilities across settings. Second, it aims to ensure that the personnel being trained leave with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in real-world service delivery, and that these competencies are grounded in practices supported by scientifically based research as well as professional experience. In other words, the program is pushing applicants to build training models that are not just theoretical, but tied to evidence-based practice and the realities of serving children with significant support needs.
Eligibility is broad enough to encourage partnerships, but still anchored in organizations capable of delivering high-quality training. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), and other entities as clarified in the official notice. This range suggests that OSEP anticipated proposals led by universities as well as proposals led by nonprofit training providers or service organizations, potentially in collaboration with higher education, school districts, state agencies, or early intervention systems. Because the synopsis repeatedly points readers back to the Federal Register notice, the expectation is that applicants would rely on the official announcement for the precise definitions, required partnerships (if any), and the exact interpretation of Focus Area A.
Funding details in the listing indicate a maximum award (ceiling) of $250,000, with an anticipated 10 awards. The opportunity was posted with applications available on June 13, 2018, and a deadline for transmittal of applications of July 30, 2018. As a discretionary grant program, awards are competitive and dependent on how well each application responds to the program purpose, the priority and focus area requirements, and the Department's review criteria and performance measures, all of which are referenced as being provided in the official Federal Register application notice.
The summary also emphasizes that what is provided here is only a synopsis, not the controlling document. Applicants are directed to the official Federal Register notice for critical details such as pre-application and application requirements, how to submit, required performance measures, applicable priorities, and contact information for program staff. It also points applicants to the Department of Education's "Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs" (published February 12, 2018, 83 FR 6003) for standardized guidance on obtaining and submitting an application. The overall message is that while the goal is clear, building an interdisciplinary pipeline of well-prepared personnel to serve children with disabilities with high-intensity needs, the exact required activities, reporting expectations, and compliance elements must be taken directly from the Federal Register and the Department's common application instructions.Apply for ED GRANTS 061318 002
