The Department of Education will fund a cooperative agreement to establish and operate a National Center on Academic Interventions that provides technical assistance and disseminates information to improve literacy and mathematics outcomes for students with disabilities. Eligible applicants include state education agencies, state lead agencies under IDEA Part C, local education agencies and public charter schools treated as LEAs, institutions of higher education, other public agencies, private nonprofit organizations, freely associated States and outlying areas, Indian Tribes or Tribal organizations, and for-profit organizations. The estimated available funds are $3,700,000, with one award expected, and the maximum award is $3,700,000 for a single 12-month budget period; the project period can be up to 60 months. No cost sharing or matching is required. The competition is open nationwide, but the priority requires work focused on evidence-based literacy and mathematics instruction in pre-kindergarten through high school settings, including attention to LEAs in urban areas and Title I schools within states with state-level literacy policies.
What it funds
Official description from grants.gov
Program Description: The purpose of the Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities program is to promote academic achievement and to improve results for children with disabilities by providing technical assistance (TA), supporting model demonstration projects, disseminating useful information, and implementing activities that are supported by scientifically based research. The 2024 National Assessment of Education Progress results illustrate the significant achievement gaps in reading and mathematics for students with disabilities. [1] Local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools need to continuously improve their systems and practices to address achievement gaps of students with disabilities and support educators’ implementation of evidence-based literacy and mathematics instruction that meet the individualized needs of students with disabilities so they are prepared for success in school and postsecondary opportunities. Through this competition and to address these needs, the Department intends to establish a National Center on Academic Interventions.
