About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Education, through its Early Learning Division, is issuing a Request for Grant Applications (RFA) for the Early Learning Higher Education Consortium. This procurement seeks to award grants to establish regional consortiums that develop higher education pathways for Early Educators to obtain credits, certificates, and degrees in Early Care and Education. The primary objectives include creating collaborative partnerships between institutions of higher education, Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies, and other early learning partners to support Early Childhood Educators' professional development. Applicants must submit comprehensive program plans demonstrating their ability to serve underrepresented regions and communities, with a focus on providing culturally and linguistically responsive practices, scholarships, and innovative support strategies. The evaluation will assess applicants' proposed methods for developing seamless articulation pathways, reducing barriers to educational attainment, and implementing cohort models with mentorship support. The RFA was posted on April 7, 2023, with a proposal due date of May 8, 2023, and the intended grant performance period runs from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025.
The opportunity appears to be open to multiple types of organizations, including higher education institutions, early learning consortia, and educational support organizations. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly detailed, the RFA emphasizes equity objectives and a strong preference for applicants that can demonstrate commitment to serving diverse and underrepresented communities. The grant agreements will be two-year awards, with funding to be drawn from the Early Learning Account, though specific budget allocations are not definitively stated in the provided documents. The budget template indicates a maximum administrative cost limit of 15% and requires detailed breakdowns of personnel, subcontracts, student supports, and other program expenses. Successful applicants will be expected to submit quarterly reports, participate in Community of Practice meetings, and provide comprehensive documentation of program outcomes and student achievements. The Oregon Department of Education reserves the right to not select any applicants if it determines the grant funds should not be distributed.
