Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 0103243 002
The U.S. Department of Education is offering a discretionary grant opportunity under Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 84.325H titled "Personnel Development to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities - Doctoral Training Consortia Associated with High-Intensity Needs." This competition supports doctoral-level training efforts designed to strengthen the pipeline of highly qualified personnel who can improve outcomes for children with disabilities, including infants and toddlers, particularly in areas where needs are most intensive.
The core purpose of the program is twofold. First, it aims to help address state-identified workforce shortages and preparation needs in special education, early intervention, related services, and regular education roles that serve children with disabilities. Second, it focuses on ensuring that the professionals prepared through these projects develop the skills and knowledge needed to be effective in real-world settings, drawing on practices supported by scientifically based research as well as demonstrated professional experience. In practical terms, the program is meant to build advanced expertise so that future leaders, faculty, researchers, and highly specialized practitioners are better equipped to serve children with disabilities and to improve systems that support them.
Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education (IHEs) as well as private nonprofit organizations that have legal authority to enter into grants and cooperative agreements with the federal government on behalf of an IHE. The eligibility list includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (including those with or without 501(c)(3) status), along with other entities as allowed in the official notice. For nonprofit applicants, the notice points to 34 CFR 75.51 for how to document nonprofit status. Acceptable documentation can include current IRS recognition of 501(c)(3) tax-deductible status, certification from a state taxing authority or the state attorney general, incorporation documents that clearly establish nonprofit status, or comparable documentation for a parent organization along with a statement confirming the applicant is a local nonprofit affiliate.
Key administrative details included in the synopsis indicate this is a grant (funding instrument type: Grant) administered by the Department of Education under the broader CFDA/ALN family 84.325. The funding opportunity number is ED GRANTS 0103243 002. The closing date listed for applications was March 4, 2024. The award ceiling is $1,950,000, and the Department anticipated making about three awards under this competition, indicating a relatively competitive, higher-dollar opportunity aimed at substantial doctoral training consortia efforts rather than small pilot projects.
Because the text provided is explicitly described as a synopsis, applicants are directed to the official Federal Register notice for the controlling requirements and full details. That official notice contains the specific priorities, selection criteria, performance measures, and submission requirements, along with any pre-application expectations and the program contact information. The synopsis also reminds applicants to rely on the Department of Education's Revised Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs (published December 7, 2022) for guidance on how to obtain and submit an application and how to follow Department-wide application procedures.Apply for ED GRANTS 0103243 002
