About this program
The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education funds teacher training, curriculum development, instructional materials, school improvement and reform, and direct educational services in U.S. territories and freely associated states under CFDA 84.256, with the most recent grant award disbursed in July 2018.
The program shows declining activity. Thirty-two awards totaling $49.6 million in federal dollars have been obligated since 2001. Award cadence has contracted sharply: five awards per year in 2009 and 2013, but only one award each in 2014, 2017, and 2018. No grant awards have been disbursed in the eight-plus years since the most recent July 2018 award. The portfolio consists of 30 Project Grants (94 percent) and 2 Formula Grants (6 percent). The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education is the sole funding source across all 32 awards.
Recent awards funded education initiatives in the freely associated states and territories. A Formula Grant to the Republic of Palau in July 2017 obligated $998,832. Three Project Grants awarded in October 2013 obligated $2.68 million, $2.36 million, and $3.79 million respectively for territories and freely associated states educational grants. A Project Grant in October 2014 obligated $2.89 million. Individual award magnitudes from the recent portfolio typically range from roughly $1 million to $4 million, though earlier awards varied more widely, from $19,315 to $4.5 million.
The source contains no information on currently open grant opportunities, recently posted solicitations, or near-term application deadlines. The absence of awards since 2018 and the lack of any posted opportunities suggest this program may not be actively soliciting applications.
