Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 121922 003
This grant opportunity, listed as Assistance Listing Number 84.326T, comes from the U.S. Department of Education, specifically the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) and its Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). It funds work focused on improving services and results for children who are deaf-blind through two related efforts: State Technical Assistance projects and a National Technical Assistance and Dissemination Center for Children who are Deaf-Blind. The competition uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally means the Department expects to have substantial involvement with recipients during the project period (for example, ongoing collaboration, shared planning, and active monitoring of key activities).
The opportunity is supported by two Department programs. The first is the Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities (TA and D) program, which is designed to boost academic achievement and overall outcomes for children with disabilities by providing technical assistance, supporting model demonstration work, sharing useful information broadly, and encouraging the use of approaches grounded in scientifically based research. The second is the Personnel Development to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities (PD) program, which focuses on helping address State-identified personnel preparation needs across special education, early intervention, related services, and general education. A central theme of the PD program is ensuring that the professionals who serve infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities have the skills and knowledge tied to practices backed by scientifically based research so they can be effective in real-world settings.
In practical terms, the competition is aimed at strengthening capacity at both the State and national levels to better identify, serve, and improve outcomes for children who are deaf-blind. While the synopsis does not spell out specific required activities, it signals the typical expectations of OSEP technical assistance and dissemination awards: building and coordinating expertise, helping States and service systems implement evidence-based practices, developing or refining training and professional development approaches, and making sure effective resources and strategies are communicated to the field in ways that can be used by practitioners and systems. The emphasis on “services and results” indicates that projects are expected to connect their work to measurable improvements for children and families, not just the production of materials.
Eligibility is not fully detailed in the synopsis and is instead described as “Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification),” which means applicants need to rely on the official Federal Register application notice to confirm who may apply and under what conditions. The Department explicitly notes that the published Federal Register notice is the authoritative source for the full requirements, including eligibility rules, application components, submission procedures, priorities, performance measures, and program contact details. Applicants are also directed to the Department’s Revised Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs (published December 7, 2022) for the official addresses and standard submission instructions.
Key dates provided in the listing show the timeline for this competition cycle. Applications became available on December 19, 2022, and the deadline to submit applications was February 17, 2023, with an intergovernmental review deadline of April 18, 2023. OSERS also planned to post pre-recorded pre-application technical assistance webinars no later than December 27, 2022, hosted on the OSEP grants webpage, to help prospective applicants understand expectations and submission requirements.
The listing indicates an expected 55 awards, though it does not provide a specific award ceiling amount (it is shown as 0 in the data, which typically means “not specified here” rather than “no limit” or “no funding”). For direct questions, the listed federal contact is Susan Weigert at the U.S. Department of Education, with phone and email provided in the notice. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a federal investment in coordinated technical assistance, dissemination, and workforce capacity-building efforts that help States and the broader field use research-based approaches to improve educational and developmental outcomes for children who are deaf-blind.Apply for ED GRANTS 121922 003
