Bilingual Education – Research Programs

The Department of Education operated Bilingual Education Research Programs (CFDA 84.292) as an active grant program in 2001, with the most recent recorded grant awards dated September 1, 2001. No grant awards have been disbursed under this program in the past 25 years, and no recent grant opportunities are documented.

The program funded field-initiated research in bilingual education through cooperative agreements. All four recorded awards from 2001 supported bilingual education research projects with two-year performance periods ending August 31, 2003. Award magnitudes ranged from approximately $229 thousand to $300 thousand per cooperative agreement.

The Department of Education was the sole funding source, obligating $1 million across four cooperative agreements. All funding under the program took the form of cooperative agreements, reflecting active partnership between the agency and research institutions.

The four awards on record include Cooperative Agreement T292B010001 ($299,962), T292B010004 ($229,076), T292B010005 ($238,907), and T292B010002 ($238,551). Each was structured as a cooperative agreement with anticipated completion by August 31, 2003.

Based on available records, this program appears inactive. The absence of awards for 25 years and the lack of posted opportunities suggest the program may no longer be accepting applications. Prospective applicants should contact the Department of Education directly to confirm current program status and eligibility before investing in proposal development.
