Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 042823 001
The U.S. Department of Education, through the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), announced a discretionary grant competition under the Effective Educator Development Programs focused on American History and Civics Education. This opportunity is formally listed as Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 84.422A and appears under funding opportunity number ED GRANTS 042823 001. The basic aim is to strengthen instruction and learning in American history, civics, and government by supporting the creation and operation of two related academy models: Presidential Academies for educators and Congressional Academies for high school students.
At the center of the program is the “Academies Program,” which is designed to build high-quality learning experiences that deepen content knowledge and improve educational practice in these subjects. On the educator side, Presidential Academies for the Teaching of American History and Civics are intended to run workshops for both veteran and new teachers. The focus is on strengthening teachers’ understanding of American history, civics, and government education, with the expectation that better-prepared teachers will deliver stronger instruction in schools and classrooms. On the student side, Congressional Academies for Students of American History and Civics are meant to give high school students enriched opportunities to broaden and deepen what they know about these topics, typically through immersive academic experiences that go beyond standard coursework.
Eligibility is broad and includes multiple types of organizations that are positioned to deliver rigorous academic programming. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, and nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status. The listing also notes “Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification),” which signals that the official Federal Register notice may specify additional eligible entities or conditions. Because the posted description is a synopsis, any applicant would need to rely on the Federal Register notice for the definitive eligibility rules, required partnerships (if any), and any limits on the number of applications or projects per organization.
The opportunity anticipated making about five awards, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000. The notice emphasizes that the published Federal Register application notice is the controlling document for requirements such as application components, formatting, submission procedures, program priorities, performance measures, and selection criteria. Applicants are also directed to follow the Department of Education’s Revised Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs (published December 7, 2022), which generally govern how to obtain, prepare, and submit discretionary grant applications.
Key dates provided in the notice include an applications-available date of April 28, 2023, and a planned set of informational pre-application webinars occurring about two weeks after publication of the notice in the Federal Register. Those webinars were intended to provide technical assistance to prospective applicants and were hosted on OESE’s program webpage. The deadline for a notice of intent to apply was May 30, 2023, followed by the deadline for transmittal of applications on July 12, 2023. The deadline for intergovernmental review was September 11, 2023, which matters for applicants in jurisdictions that participate in the intergovernmental review process under the relevant federal regulations.
