About this program
The Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences funds Special Education Studies and Evaluations (CFDA 84.329) to assess progress in implementing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the effectiveness of State and local efforts to provide special education and early intervention programs and services to infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities, with the most recent grant award dated January 1, 2005.
This program is not currently active. The portfolio shows only two Project Grants awarded over a twenty-one-year span, with the most recent award issued more than twenty years ago. No recent grant opportunities are listed, and no grant awards have been disbursed since 2005. The program description indicates typical project periods of one to five years with no renewal provisions, but the absence of awards in the past two decades suggests the program is not soliciting new applications at this time.
When active, the program funded evaluation research and longitudinal studies of special education implementation. Recent awards included the National Early Intervention Longitudinal Study ($399,994, awarded January 1, 2005) and the SIG Evaluation project ($499,999, awarded October 1, 2003), both competitive Project Grants focused on empirical assessment of IDEA implementation and service delivery.
The program operated exclusively through Project Grants, which accounted for 100 percent of awards in the portfolio. The Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences was the sole funding agency, obligating $900 thousand total federal dollars across the two awards. Award magnitudes ranged from approximately $400 thousand to $500 thousand per project.
Eligible applicants included non-profit and for-profit organizations with demonstrated ability and capacity to conduct scientifically valid evaluations. Awards were made to vendors whose proposals represented the best value to the government in terms of combined merit and cost. Awardees were required to maintain accounts, records, and supporting documentation for all costs incurred under their grants.
Given the absence of recent activity and open solicitations, this program does not represent a near-term funding opportunity.
