Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 072418 001
This grant opportunity, titled "OSERS-OSEP: Training and Information for Parents of Children with Disabilities: Technical Assistance for Parent Centers" (CFDA 84.328R), is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Education through the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). The central aim is to strengthen the capacity of Parent Centers so they can provide parents of children with disabilities with training and information that is impartial, reliable, and practical, ultimately supporting better educational and developmental outcomes for children with disabilities. The opportunity is presented as a synopsis, with applicants directed to the official Federal Register notice for full requirements, priorities, performance measures, and submission instructions.
The program is designed to ensure that parents have access to support that helps them understand disability-related services and navigate special education systems effectively. The emphasis on "impartial" assistance matters because Parent Centers are expected to help families make informed decisions and advocate for their children based on accurate information rather than promoting a particular program, provider, or viewpoint. In practice, this kind of technical assistance typically focuses on improving how Parent Centers deliver training, disseminate accessible information, and respond to parent needs across diverse communities, including families who may face barriers related to language, geography, income, or limited familiarity with special education processes.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing a grant. That can include ongoing coordination, technical direction, or collaboration to ensure that project activities align with national program goals and federal priorities. The listed award ceiling is $800,000, and the opportunity anticipated making about five awards, indicating a competitive national-level competition supporting a limited number of projects with relatively substantial budgets.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, both those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. The listing also notes that other entities may be eligible depending on clarifications provided in the official notice under "Additional Information on Eligibility," so applicants would need to consult the Federal Register publication to confirm whether their organization type qualifies and whether any specific conditions apply.
The opportunity was posted with applications available on July 24, 2018, and a deadline for transmittal of applications of August 23, 2018. Applicants were instructed to follow the Department of Education's Common Instructions for Applicants to Discretionary Grant Programs (published February 12, 2018, 83 FR 6003), which typically covers standard federal application formatting, submission procedures, and general compliance expectations. The synopsis repeatedly emphasizes that the authoritative requirements are those contained in the official Federal Register notice, including any pre-application steps, required forms, program priorities, and performance reporting measures that would be used to evaluate both proposals and eventual project outcomes.Apply for ED GRANTS 072418 001
