Forecast of Funding Opportunities under the Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024

This document lists virtually all programs and competitions under the Department (we) has invited or expects to invite applications for new awards and provides actual or estimated deadline dates for the transmittal of applications under these programs. The lists are in the form of charts -- organized according to the Department's principal program offices -- and include programs and competitions we have previously announced, as well as those we plan to announce at a later date. If you are interested in applying for any upcoming grants with the Department of Education, please take the time to register with SAM at www.SAM.gov, as you must have an active account in order to submit a grant application with our agency. We recommend you register now even as you are looking for eligible grant programs so that your SAM registration is active by the time the application is published. This will allow you to focus on writing the application during the period the application is available and you are not spending a portion of this time obtaining SAM registration. Please click here to refer to the SAM tip sheet for additional information.

Note: This document is advisory only and is not an official application notice of the Department of Education. We expect to provide updates to this document starting in the first week of June in a fiscal year and continuing through the following August. Please keep in mind that the dates recorded in this document are SUBJECT TO CHANGE and that the average size/number of awards are ESTIMATES.

Note on printing: For best results, print this document in landscape orientation.

Organization of this Document

Grant Application Information

Here's how you can tell whether we've already published an application notice for a particular program or competition in the Federal Register and whether the dates we list in this Forecast of Funding Opportunities are actual or estimates:

If we have published the application notice, we will list the Federal Register (FR) volume and page number (e.g., 65 FR 53402) after the date in column two. The other dates for this program or competition (columns four and five) are actual (as opposed to estimated) dates.

End of
Translation
Click to Translate text after this point

If we do not follow the date in column two with an FR citation, it means that we have yet to publish the application notice, and the dates (columns, two, four, and five) are estimates only. The actual dates will appear in the official application notice for that program or competition in the Federal Register.

Date of Application Notice. In column two of the charts, we lists the actual or estimated date for publication of the application notice for a given program or competition.

Link to Notice. In column three of the charts, after its publication in the Federal Register, we will provide a link to the application notice for a given program or competition.

Electronic Grant Applications. Applications may be submitted electronically, for certain programs listed in the Forecast, through the Grants Management System (G5: www.g5.gov) or through Grants.gov. The requirements and instructions for submitting applications electronically under the program identified will appear in the Federal Register in the application notice for these programs or competitions. It is important to note that, if a competition is using Grants.gov, it will not be using G5 and vice versa. As part of doing business with the Federal Government, applicants must have an active registration with SAM (www.SAM.gov). Therefore, we strongly recommend that you create a SAM account now (or update your account if you already have an existing one) before the application package becomes available so that once the package is posted, your registration will be complete.

Contact Information

Program Contact Person. In column seven of the charts, we list the name, e-mail address, fax, and telephone numbers of the person or persons to contact for obtaining an application or further information about the programs listed. We also include this information in the actual application notice for that program.

For Users of TDD or FIRS. If you use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD), you may call the TDD number, if any, listed in the individual application notice. If a TDD number is not listed for a given program, individuals who use a TDD may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339.

Fiscal Information

Available Funds. The programs and funding amounts listed in this document are based on the Secretary's best estimates at this time. The Secretary is providing this document in order to give potential applicants adequate time to prepare applications. Potential applicants should note, however, that the Department may cancel some of the competitions listed in this document and may announce some new competitions not listed in this document.

Estimated Average Size of Awards and Number of Awards. Except for programs and competitions administered by the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), column six lists estimated average size and number of awards. The amounts and numbers referenced in this column are advisory and represent the Secretary's best estimates at this time. The average size of an award is the estimate for a single-year project or for the first budget period of a multi-year project. In the application package for an individual program or competition, applicants will receive information about the amount the Secretary intends to make available for each year of a multi-year project.

In the case of programs and competitions administered by the principal components of OSERS, the charts differ with regard to the average size of awards. For programs and competitions of this office, column six of the charts lists the average or estimated maximum size of the awards per year. Applicants will receive further information about funding amounts in the application packages for the individual programs.

Note: The Department is not bound by any of the estimates in this document. We advise you to read the actual individual application notices for these programs or competitions published in the Federal Register.

1. Eligible Applicants: For the Transformative Research in the Education Sciences (ALN 84.305T) grant program, eligible applicants are organizations that have the demonstrated ability and capacity to conduct rigorous research and development. Eligible applicants include, but are not limited to, institutions of higher education and non-profit, for-profit, public, or private agencies. Eligible applications must include research, product development, and education agency partners. The research partner must be an organization that has the ability and capacity to conduct rigorous research and development. The product development partner must be an organization that has experience developing and scaling products. Eligible education agency partners include:

  • Local educational agencies, which are primarily public school districts and may also include county or city agencies that have primary responsibility for prekindergarten or adult education. Individual schools, including those that are recognized as a local educational agency, or groups of schools that do not form a school district are not eligible to apply as the education agency partner.
  • Intermediate districts (sometimes called service districts) that provide services to multiple districts but do not have decision-making authority over implementing programs and policies cannot serve as the agency partner.
  • Community college districts.
  • State and city postsecondary systems. The postsecondary system must apply as the agency partner. Individual postsecondary institutions may not apply as the agency partner.
  • In places where State or local educational agencies do not oversee adult education, the adult education providers, defined as "eligible providers" (e.g., community-based organizations, institutions of higher education, public or non-profit agencies, libraries) under Title II of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-113publ128/pdf/PLAW-113publ128.pdf), can serve as the agency partner.

Applications that include non-public organizations that oversee or administer schools (e.g., certain charter or education management organizations) must also include, as an agency partner, the State or local educational agency with oversight of the schools these non-public organizations manage.

84.282A – Charter School Programs (CSP) Expanding Opportunities Through Quality Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grants to State Entities

1. Eligible Entities: State entities in States with a specific State statute authorizing the granting of charters to schools.

Under section 4303(e)(1) of the ESEA, no State entity may receive a grant under this competition for use in a State in which a State entity is currently using a CSP State Entity grant. Thus, if multiple State entities in a State submit applications that receive high enough scores to be recommended for funding under this competition, only the highest scoring application among such State entities will be funded. Likewise, State entities located in States in which a State entity has a current CSP State Entity grant that is not in its final budget period (or is in its final budget period, but the grantee plans to request a one-time no-cost extension in accordance with 34 CFR 75.261 and 2 CFR 200.308(e)(2)[1]) (i.e., Alabama, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin) are ineligible to apply for a CSP State Entity grant under this competition.

State entities located in States in which a State entity has a current CSP State Entity grant that is operating under a no-cost extension (i.e., Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island), or that is not operating under a no-cost extension but is in its final budget period and has notified the Department that it does not intend to request a no-cost extension (i.e., none), however, are eligible to apply for a CSP State Entity grant under this competition. The Department will accept applications from current State entity grantees located in these States as well as from State entities located in these States that do not have current grants.

Consistent with section 4303(e)(1), if a State entity is approved for a new CSP State Entity grant under this competition for use in a State in which a State entity has a current CSP State Entity grant that is operating under a no-cost extension (or that is in its final budget period and does not request a no-cost extension at least 10 calendar days before the end of the performance period specified in the Federal award in accordance with 2 CFR 200.308(e)(2)), the current State entity grantee must (a) obligate all grant funds; (b) complete all grant and subgrant activities; and (c) begin the grant closeout process (i.e., liquidating the grant and not incurring new costs) prior to the expiration date of the no-cost extension (or the end of the performance period for a grantee that is in its final budget period and did not request a no-cost extension). In its application, the State entity that is applying for the new award may request a waiver under section 4303(d)(5) of the ESEA to enable it to award a second subgrant within a five-year period to eligible applicants that previously received a subgrant from the current State entity grantee but will be unable to complete their subgrant activities before the current State Entity grant expires, without requiring the eligible applicant to demonstrate three years of improved educational results as required under section 4303(e)(2) of the ESEA.

State entities in States in which an SEA has a current CSP Grant for SEAs (i.e., Ohio) that was awarded under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (i.e., prior to FY 2017), are eligible to apply for a CSP State Entity grant under this competition, as long as no other State entity in the State has a current CSP State Entity grant that is not in its final budget period nor operating under a no-cost extension.

Expanding Opportunities Through Quality Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grants to State Entities - Office of Elementary and Secondary Education

84.282B – Charter School Programs (CSP) - Grants to Charter School Developer Grants for the Opening of New Charter Schools

Eligible Applicants

Eligible applicants are developers that have--
(a) Applied to an authorized public chartering authority to operate a charter school; and
(b) Provided adequate and timely notice to that authority. (Section 4310(6) of the ESEA).

Additionally, the charter school must be located in a State with a State statute specifically authorizing the establishment of charter schools (as defined in section 4310(2) of the ESEA) and in which a State entity currently does not have a CSP State Entity grant (Assistance Listing Number 84.282A) under section 4303 of the ESEA.[2] (Section 4305(a)(2) of the ESEA).

As a general matter, the Secretary considers charter schools that have been in operation for more than five years to be past the initial implementation phase and, therefore, ineligible to receive CSP funds under Assistance Listing Number 84.282B to support the opening of a new charter school or under Assistance Listing Number 84.282E for the replication of a high-quality charter school; however, such schools may receive CSP funds under Assistance Listing Number 84.282E for the expansion of a high-quality charter school

Note: If you are a nonprofit organization, under 34 CFR 75.51, you may demonstrate your nonprofit status by providing: (1) proof that the Internal Revenue Service currently recognizes the applicant as an organization to which contributions are tax deductible under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; (2) a statement from a State taxing body or the State attorney general certifying that the organization is a nonprofit organization operating within the State and that no part of its net earnings may lawfully benefit any private shareholder or individual; (3) a certified copy of the applicant's certificate of incorporation or similar document if it clearly establishes the nonprofit status of the applicant; or (4) any item described above if that item applies to a State or national parent organization, together with a statement by the State or parent organization that the applicant is a local nonprofit affiliate; or (5) for an entity that holds a sincerely held religious belief that it cannot apply for a determination as an entity that is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, evidence sufficient to establish that the entity would otherwise qualify as a nonprofit organization under (1) through (4) above.

4/24/2024

As a general matter, the Secretary considers charter schools that have been in operation for more than five years to be past the initial implementation phase and, therefore, ineligible to receive CSP funds under Assistance Listing Number 84.282B to support the opening of a new charter school or under Assistance Listing Number 84.282E for the replication of a high-quality charter school; however, such schools may receive CSP funds under Assistance Listing Number 84.282E for the expansion of a high-quality charter school.

The total amount of funds available for the Comprehensive Center program for FY 2024 is $50 million, of which we intend to use an estimated $46,153,544 for this competition. Of that, an estimated $6 million will be used to fund the National Center, an estimated $35,153,544 will be used to fund Regional Centers, and an estimated $5 million will be used to fund Content Centers. FY 2024 funds will support awards for the first budget period of the project, which is the first 12 months of the project period.

(d) A consortium of SEAs or LEAs;
(e) A nonprofit (as defined in this notice) organization; and
(f) An LEA, an SEA, the BIE, or a consortium described in clause (d), in partnership with--
(1) A nonprofit organization;
(2) A business;
(3) An educational service agency; or
(4) An IHE.

To qualify as a rural applicant under the EIR program, an applicant must meet both of the following requirements:
(a) The applicant is--
(1) An LEA with an urban-centric district locale code of 32, 33, 41, 42, or 43, as determined by the Secretary;
(2) A consortium of such LEAs;
(3) An educational service agency or a nonprofit organization in partnership with such an LEA; or

(b) A majority of the schools to be served by the program are designated with a locale code of 32, 33, 41, 42, or 43, or a combination of such codes, as determined by the Secretary.

Applicants are encouraged to retrieve locale codes from the National Center for Education Statistics School District search tool (https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/districtsearch/), where districts can be looked up individually to retrieve locale codes, and the Public School search tool (https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/schoolsearch/), where individual schools can be looked up to retrieve locale codes. More information on rural applicant eligibility will be in the application package for this competition.

Note: An applicant that is a nonprofit organization may, under 34 CFR 75.51, demonstrate its nonprofit status by providing: (1) proof that the Internal Revenue Service currently recognizes the applicant as an organization to which contributions are tax deductible under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; (2) a statement from a State taxing body or the State attorney general certifying that the organization is a nonprofit organization operating within the State and that no part of its net earnings may lawfully benefit any private shareholder or individual; (3) a certified copy of the applicants certificate of incorporation or similar document if it clearly establishes the nonprofit status of the applicant; or (4) any item described above if that item applies to a State or national parent organization, together with a statement by the State or parent organization that the applicant is a local nonprofit affiliate.

84.031M –Promoting Postbaccalaureate Opportunities for Hispanic Americans (PPOHA)

1. Eligible Applicants: IHEs that (a) qualify as an eligible HSI and (b) offer a postbaccalaureate certificate or postbaccalaureate degree program are eligible to apply for new grants under the PPOHA Program. See section 512(b) of the HEA (20 U.S.C. 1102a(b)).
An eligible IHE for purposes of the PPOHA Program, under sections 502 and 512(b) of the HEA (20 U.S.C. 1101a and 1102a(b)), must
(a) Have an enrollment of needy students, as defined in section 502(b) of the HEA (section 502(a)(2)(A)(i) of the HEA; 20 U.S.C. 1101a(a)(2)(A)(i));
(b) Have, except as provided in section 522(b) of the HEA, average educational and general expenditures that are low, per full-time equivalent (FTE) undergraduate student, in comparison with the average educational and general expenditures per FTE undergraduate student of institutions that offer similar instruction (section 502(a)(2)(A)(ii) of the HEA; 20 U.S.C. 1101a(a)(2)(A)(ii));
Note 1: To demonstrate an enrollment of needy students and low average educational and general expenditures per FTE undergraduate student, an IHE must be designated as an “eligible institution” in accordance with 34 CFR 606.3 through 606.5 and the notice inviting applications for designation as an eligible institution for the fiscal year for which the grant competition is being conducted.
Note 2: Only institutions that the Department determines are eligible, or are granted a waiver, may apply for a grant in this program.
(c) Be accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association that the Secretary has determined to be a reliable authority as to the quality of education or training offered, or making reasonable progress toward accreditation, according to such an agency or association (section 502(a)(2)(A)(iv) of the HEA; 20 U.S.C.1101a(a)(2)(A)(iv));
(d) Be legally authorized to provide, and provide within the State, an educational program for which the institution awards a bachelor’s degree (section 502(a)(2)(A)(iii)(I) of the HEA; 20 U.S.C. 1101a(a)(2)(A)(iii)(I)); and
(e) Have an enrollment of undergraduate FTE students that is at least 25 percent Hispanic students at the end of the award year immediately preceding the date of application (section 502(a)(5)(B) of the HEA; 20 U.S.C. 1101a(a)(5)(B)).
Note 3: Funds for the PPOHA Program will be awarded each fiscal year; thus, for this program, the “end of the award year immediately preceding the date of application ” refers to the end of the fiscal year prior to the application due date. The end of the fiscal year occurs on September 30 for any given year.
Note 4: In considering applications for grants under this program, the Department will compare the data and documentation the institution relied on in its application with data reported to the Department’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), the IHE’s State-reported enrollment data, and the institutional annual report. If different percentages or data are reported in these various sources, the institution must, as part of the 25 percent assurance verification, explain the reason for the differences. If the IPEDS data show that less than 25 percent of the institution’s undergraduate FTE students are Hispanic, the burden is on the institution to show that the IPEDS data are inaccurate. If the IPEDS data indicate that the institution has an undergraduate FTE less than 25 percent, and the institution fails to demonstrate that the IPEDS data are inaccurate, the institution will be considered ineligible.
(f) A grantee under the PPOHA Program, which is authorized by title V of the HEA, may not receive a grant under any HEA, title III, part A or part B program during the period for which funds under this program are awarded (section 505 of the HEA; 20 U.S.C. 1101d). The title III, part A programs include: the Strengthening Institutions Program; the American Indian Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities Program; the Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions Programs; the Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions Program; the Predominantly Black Institutions Program; and the Native American-Serving Non-Tribal Institutions Program. Title III, part B includes the Strengthening Historically Black Colleges and Universities Program.
(g) An eligible IHE may not submit more than one Individual Development Grant application, be the lead applicant for more than one Cooperative Arrangement Development Grant, or submit an Individual Development Grant application and be the lead applicant for a Cooperative Arrangement Development Grant application in this competition. A grantee with an Individual Development Grant or a Cooperative Arrangement Development Grant may be a partner in one or more Cooperative Arrangement Development Grants. The lead institution in a Cooperative Arrangement Development Grant must be an eligible institution.
(h) A PPOHA Program grantee may use not more than 20 percent of its total PPOHA Program grant award to provide financial support in the form of scholarships, fellowships, and other student financial assistance to low-income students (see NFR).

(i) Nothing in this notice alters a grantee’s obligations to comply with Federal civil rights laws.
