Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 013122 001
This grant opportunity, titled "OSERS: OSEP: Personnel Development to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities - Preparation of Special Education, Early Intervention, and Related Services Leadership Personnel" (Assistance Listing Number 84.325D), is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Education through the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), specifically the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). The central aim is to strengthen the pipeline of well-prepared leadership personnel who can improve services and outcomes for children with disabilities, including infants and toddlers, across special education, early intervention, related services, and regular education settings. The program is built around the idea that states have concrete, documented shortages or skill gaps in the workforce, and that addressing those state-identified needs requires targeted preparation and training grounded in scientifically based research and practical experience.
At a practical level, the opportunity funds projects that prepare personnel so they graduate with the knowledge and competencies needed to serve children with disabilities effectively. That includes ensuring trainees learn and apply practices supported by research evidence and professional experience, rather than relying on outdated or unproven methods. While the synopsis does not list the specific competitive priorities or detailed program requirements, it signals that applicants are expected to align proposed training and leadership preparation efforts with what states have identified as their most pressing personnel needs, and to demonstrate that their approach will translate into stronger services and better results for children and families.
Eligibility is fairly broad and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both those with 501(c)(3) status and those without), and other entities as described in the official notice (the listing indicates there is an "Additional Information on Eligibility" field in the full materials that clarifies any special conditions). This structure suggests the Department expects universities and preparation programs to be key applicants, but it leaves room for partnerships and non-university organizations when appropriate, as long as the applicant can carry out a credible, research-informed personnel preparation effort.
The funding opportunity number is ED GRANTS 013122 001. The award ceiling listed is $250,000, and the Department anticipated making about 25 awards. Key dates provided in the synopsis include an application availability date of January 31, 2022, a deadline for transmittal of applications of April 1, 2022, and an intergovernmental review deadline of May 31, 2022. OSERS also planned to provide pre-recorded informational webinars no later than February 4, 2022, intended to give technical assistance to potential applicants; these were to be posted on the OSEP grants webpage at www2.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/osep/new-osep-grants.html. For submission logistics and required federal application instructions, applicants were directed to follow the Department's Revised Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs (published December 27, 2021).
Because the text provided is explicitly a synopsis, the full requirements that typically drive competitiveness in federal education grants (such as the absolute or competitive priorities, selection criteria, evidence expectations, budget rules, performance measures, and reporting obligations) are contained in the official Federal Register application notice. The synopsis emphasizes that the Federal Register version is the authoritative source and points readers to free access through govinfo and the Federal Register website. The listed program contact for questions is Celia Rosenquist at the U.S. Department of Education, with phone number (202) 245-7373 and email Celia.Rosenquist@ed.gov, indicating where applicants could direct technical or programmatic questions not answered in the published notice.Apply for ED GRANTS 013122 001
