Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 092017 001
This opportunity is a U.S. Department of Education discretionary grant competition run through the Office of Innovation and Improvement (OII) for the Promise Neighborhoods Program (CFDA 84.215N). Promise Neighborhoods is authorized under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) as updated by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The core goal is to produce measurable, meaningful improvements in both academic and developmental outcomes for children in some of the most distressed communities in the country. In practical terms, the program is aimed at helping children start school ready to learn, stay on track through K-12, graduate from high school, and have access to a coordinated, community-based pipeline of high-quality supports and services that address barriers to learning and healthy development.
The target areas for Promise Neighborhoods are neighborhoods with high concentrations of low-income residents and multiple, reinforcing indicators of distress. The notice highlights examples of these indicators, such as high poverty, childhood obesity, academic failure, and juvenile delinquency, adjudication, or incarceration. The program also connects to school improvement requirements under ESEA section 1111(d), emphasizing work in and around schools that are implementing comprehensive support and improvement activities or targeted support and improvement activities. A key expectation is that the proposed continuum of solutions is inclusive and usable by all children in the neighborhood, specifically including children with disabilities and English learners, rather than treating accessibility as an add-on.
This particular posting is tied to FY 2017 and focuses on an extension of the application deadline for certain eligible applicants impacted by severe storms and flooding that began on August 25, 2017, in Texas or Louisiana. The Department’s rationale is straightforward: applicants affected by the disaster needed additional time to prepare and submit a competitive proposal, and the extension was intended to preserve fairness so those communities could compete on more equal footing with applicants elsewhere.
From an applicant process standpoint, submissions were required to be made electronically through Grants.gov using the Grants.gov Apply workflow. An important technical detail in the notice is how to locate the application package: applicants were instructed to search by the CFDA number without the letter suffix (search for 84.215 rather than 84.215N). As with many federal education competitions, the synopsis stresses that the Federal Register notice is the controlling document for the competition, and that prospective applicants should rely on that official notice for the full requirements, including eligibility rules, pre-application and application components, priorities, performance measures, submission instructions, and agency contact information.
The source data included with the announcement lists the opportunity number as ED GRANTS 092017 001, with a creation date of September 20, 2017. Applications were available starting September 20, 2017, with a deadline for transmittal of applications of October 6, 2017, and an intergovernmental review deadline of December 6, 2017. The Department anticipated making about 7 awards. The award ceiling is shown as 0 in the extracted listing, which typically means the ceiling was not captured in that summary field and applicants would need to confirm actual funding limits and award sizes in the official Federal Register application notice. Eligibility is summarized broadly as “Others,” with direction to consult the official notice’s additional eligibility language for specifics.
Overall, the opportunity supports place-based, cross-sector work where schools and community partners coordinate services and interventions across the full childhood-to-career pipeline, concentrating resources in neighborhoods facing multiple, overlapping challenges. The special feature of this particular notice is the disaster-related extension for Texas and Louisiana applicants, designed to ensure storm-affected communities still had a viable chance to assemble a strong, compliant application package and compete fairly in the national competition.Apply for ED GRANTS 092017 001
