Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 121922 001
This funding opportunity is the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), State Personnel Development Grants (SPDG) Program, listed under Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 84.323A. It is a discretionary grant competition intended to support statewide efforts that strengthen how states prepare, develop, and retain the personnel who serve infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities. The core idea is that better-prepared and better-supported early intervention providers, special educators, related service personnel, and transition-focused staff lead to stronger services and improved outcomes for children with disabilities across early intervention, K-12, and transition into postsecondary education, employment, and independent living.
The stated purpose of the SPDG program is to help State educational agencies (SEAs) reform and improve their systems for personnel preparation and professional development. This includes building or upgrading statewide professional learning systems, improving coordination across agencies and programs involved in early intervention and special education, and ensuring that personnel development aligns with evidence-based practices and state-identified needs. While the synopsis does not list specific required activities, the program generally centers on creating coherent statewide approaches rather than isolated trainings, meaning applicants are typically expected to show how their work will drive sustainable systems change, improve implementation in classrooms and service settings, and ultimately improve results for children with disabilities.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 121922 001, created December 19, 2022, with applications made available the same day. The deadline for transmittal of applications was March 6, 2023, and the deadline for intergovernmental review was May 3, 2023. OSERS also planned to provide technical assistance to prospective applicants through pre-recorded informational webinars, to be posted no later than December 27, 2022, on the OSEP grants webpage at https://www2.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/osep/new-osep-grants.html. The notice emphasizes that the synopsis is not the authoritative source for requirements and that applicants must rely on the official Federal Register application notice for the complete set of priorities, eligibility rules, selection criteria, performance measures, and submission instructions. It also directs 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 official addresses and procedures for obtaining and submitting an application.
In terms of who can apply, the listing indicates "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which signals that eligibility details are defined in the official application notice rather than fully stated in the brief summary. Even so, the program purpose is explicitly aimed at SEAs, and the structure of SPDG competitions typically expects state-level leadership and coordination, often with partnerships that can include districts, institutions of higher education, and other relevant entities involved in personnel preparation and professional learning.
The listing notes an expected 11 awards, though it does not provide an award ceiling in the summarized data (the "AwardCeiling" field shows 0, which usually means the ceiling was not captured in this extract and should be verified in the Federal Register notice). For questions, the program contact provided is Jennifer Coffey at the U.S. Department of Education, with contact information including phone (202) 245-6673 and email jennifer.coffey@ed.gov.Apply for ED GRANTS 121922 001
