Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 080919 001
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), specifically the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). It is part of the Personnel Development to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities portfolio and is titled "Leadership Development Programs: Increasing the Capacity of Leaders to Improve Systems Serving Children with Disabilities" under CFDA 84.325L. The overall mission framing the competition is OSERS's focus on improving early childhood, school, and employment outcomes for people with disabilities and raising expectations for children with disabilities, their families, and communities. In practical terms, the program is designed to strengthen the leadership pipeline that shapes how state and local systems plan, deliver, and continuously improve special education and early intervention services.
The core aim of the funding is to support states in building and running leadership development programs that recruit, build the skills of, and retain leaders at the state, regional, and local levels. These leaders are expected to influence the systems that serve children with disabilities, which includes infants and toddlers through early intervention as well as school-age students receiving special education and related services. The emphasis is not just on individual professional development; it is on developing leaders who can improve the structures and processes of service systems so that those systems produce better outcomes. The notice highlights promoting high expectations and improving early childhood and educational outcomes for children with disabilities and their families by strengthening the systems that serve them.
The statutory/program purpose is twofold. First, it seeks to address state-identified needs for personnel preparation across special education, early intervention, related services, and regular education personnel who work with children and youth with disabilities. Second, it aims to ensure that those personnel have the skills and knowledge necessary to be effective, and that these competencies are grounded in practices supported by scientifically based research. In other words, applicants are expected to build leadership development efforts that are aligned with evidence-based practices, and that respond to documented workforce and capacity gaps identified by the state.
As described in the competition details, this is a discretionary grant program, using the grant funding instrument, categorized under education. While the eligibility line in the synopsis says "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the description makes clear that the grants are intended to fund states to implement these leadership development programs, so applicants typically need to confirm eligibility requirements in the official Federal Register notice and related instructions. The synopsis repeatedly stresses that the authoritative requirements, priorities, performance measures, and application instructions are contained in the official Federal Register application notice and the Department's Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs.
In terms of scale and timing for the FY 2019 competition referenced here, applications were made available on August 9, 2019, with a deadline for transmittal of applications of September 9, 2019. The expected number of awards listed is 13, and the award ceiling is $200,000 (as provided in the opportunity data). To support applicants, OSERS planned to post pre-recorded informational webinars no later than August 14, 2019, and it also planned a pre-application Q and A blog opening no later than August 14, 2019 and remaining open until August 28, 2019. After the blog closed, applicants were directed to contact the program official listed in the Federal Register notice for further questions.
Finally, the opportunity directs prospective applicants to consult the Department's Common Instructions (published February 13, 2019, 84 FR 3768) for the addresses and procedures for obtaining and submitting an application, and to use the Federal Register notice as the definitive source for items like eligibility, required components, submission rules, selection criteria, priorities, and performance reporting expectations. This matters because the synopsis is intentionally high-level; the actual application will rise or fall based on how well it aligns with the published priorities and how clearly it explains a state-level plan to recruit, develop, and retain leaders who can measurably improve systems and outcomes for children with disabilities.Apply for ED GRANTS 080919 001
