This funding opportunity, titled "OSERS: OSEP: Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities: Early Childhood Systems Technical Assistance Center" (CFDA 84.326P), is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Education under the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) within OSERS. The award is made as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the work during the project period rather than simply providing funds and monitoring from a distance. The overall aim is to strengthen early childhood systems so they can deliver better services and produce stronger outcomes for young children with disabilities.
The program purpose sits within OSEP's broader "Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities" initiative. The core idea is to improve results for children with disabilities by offering technical assistance to the field, supporting projects that demonstrate effective approaches, sharing and spreading useful resources, and ensuring the work is grounded in scientifically based research. In practice, an Early Childhood Systems Technical Assistance Center funded through this competition would be expected to help states, localities, and other partners improve how early childhood special education and related services are designed, coordinated, and implemented, with the end goal of improved developmental, educational, and functional outcomes for children with disabilities.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of applicants that could realistically operate a national or multi-state technical assistance center. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)); and for-profit entities other than small businesses, along with other entities as clarified in the official notice. This wide eligibility reflects the fact that technical assistance centers are often led by universities, nonprofits, or contractors, sometimes in partnership with state agencies or other organizations.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an award ceiling of $3,400,000. The posting indicates applications were made available on April 19, 2017, with a deadline for transmittal of applications of June 5, 2017. While those dates show the historical application window for this specific notice, the structure and requirements described are typical of OSEP technical assistance center competitions, and similar competitions often reappear in later years under new notices.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov using the "Apply" workflow. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number without the alpha suffix (search for 84.326 rather than 84.326P). The notice also emphasizes that applications could not be emailed to the Department, and that the Federal Register notice is the controlling document for full requirements. The synopsis specifically points applicants to the official Federal Register application notice for details such as pre-application and application requirements, submission instructions, performance measures, competition priorities, and program contact information. The posting also notes where to access the Federal Register and CFR online for free, reinforcing that applicants should rely on the official publication for the definitive rules and expectations.Apply for ED GRANTS 041917 002
