Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 121624 001
The U.S. Department of Education, through the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), is offering a discretionary grant opportunity under Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 84.328M titled "Training and Information for Parents of Children with Disabilities: Parent Training and Information Centers." The core aim of this program, referred to in the notice as the Special Education Parent Information Centers program, is to make sure parents of children with disabilities can access high-quality, relevant, and practical training and information. The intent is straightforward: better-informed and better-supported parents are in a stronger position to advocate for and support their children, which the program frames as a pathway to improved outcomes for children and youth with disabilities from birth through age 26.
This opportunity is designed specifically for parent organizations, and eligibility is tied closely to how the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) defines that term. Under IDEA section 671(a)(2), an eligible "parent organization" must be a private nonprofit entity and cannot be an institution of higher education. It must have a board of directors where a majority of members are parents of children with disabilities across the birth-to-26 age span. The board also has to include people who work in special education, related services, and early intervention, as well as individuals with disabilities. In addition, the organization must demonstrate that its parent and professional members are broadly representative of the population it intends to serve, including low-income parents and parents of children with limited English proficiency. Finally, the organization must have an explicit mission of serving families of children with disabilities, covering the full range of disabilities described in IDEA section 602(3).
From a funding and timing standpoint, the listing indicates an expected 64 awards, with an award ceiling of $798,050 per award. The opportunity was created on December 16, 2024, and the original application closing date is March 3, 2025. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is education. The opportunity number is ED GRANTS 121624 001, and the CFDA/ALN identifier associated with it is 84.328 (specifically 84.328M for this competition).
The posted description emphasizes that what appears in the summary is only a synopsis, and that applicants should rely on the official application notice published in the Federal Register for the controlling details. That Federal Register notice is where applicants will find the exact eligibility language, any absolute or competitive priorities, required application components, performance measures, and program contact information. It also points applicants to the Department of Education's Revised Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs (published December 7, 2022) for the required addresses and procedures for obtaining and submitting an application. In practical terms, anyone considering applying should treat the summary as a high-level overview and use the Federal Register notice and the Common Instructions as the primary guides for compliance and submission.Apply for ED GRANTS 121624 001
