Assistance Listing 84.339

The Department of Education's Assistance Listing 84.339 funded Learning Anytime Anywhere Partnerships (LAAP) projects, with the most recent grant award disbursed on October 16, 2002.

This program is inactive. The portfolio contains 49 total Project Grants awarded between September 2001 and October 2002, with 45 awards in 2001 and only 4 in 2002. No grant opportunities are currently posted, and no awards have been disbursed in the past 24 years. The program represents a closed funding cycle from the early 2000s with no indication of reopening.

LAAP funded educational technology and distance-learning partnerships designed to expand access to learning resources through anytime, anywhere delivery models. Award recipients implemented projects to develop, demonstrate, or scale online and distributed learning platforms and partnerships among educational institutions.

The program operated exclusively as Project Grants. Combined federal dollars obligated totaled $31.3 million across the 49 awards, with recipients contributing an additional $42 million in non-federal cost share. Individual awards ranged from approximately $300 thousand to $4 million, with typical awards in the $1–2 million range. Representative awards included a $4.022 million grant (Project P339B010118) and a $3.768 million grant (Project P339B990305), both supporting LAAP finals activities with completion dates between 2002 and 2004.

The Department of Education was the sole funding agency, accounting for all 49 awards and the entire $31.3 million federal obligation.

This program should not be pursued. The absence of grant awards for over two decades and lack of any posted opportunities indicate the program cycle has concluded. Organizations with educational technology or distance-learning partnership initiatives should explore active Department of Education grant programs rather than this dormant line.
