About this program
The Department of Education funded the Teacher Quality Partnerships Recovery Act program (CFDA 84.405) through twelve Project Grants totaling $100 million in federal obligations, with the most recent award issued on April 5, 2010—over 16 years ago. This program is no longer active; no grant opportunities have been posted recently and no awards have been disbursed since 2010.
The program supported pre-baccalaureate teacher preparation, teaching residency initiatives, and school leadership training in high-need local educational agencies and rural areas. Representative funded activities include the Denver Teacher Residency, a district-based teacher preparation partnership between Denver Public Schools and University of Colorado Denver ($66.7 million); the Mathematics Achievement with Teachers of High-Need Urban Populations (MATH-UP) partnership among Lehman College and the New York City Department of Education ($59.5 million); and the Richmond Teacher Residency program ($53.7 million). Awards also supported a special education teaching residency program targeting students with disabilities in high-need schools ($66 million). All twelve awards were structured as Project Grants with substantial federal obligations ranging from $12.6 million to $117.3 million per award.
Funding came exclusively from within the Department of Education: the main departmental office issued 8 awards totaling $67.6 million in federal dollars, while the Office of Innovation and Improvement issued 4 awards totaling $32.4 million. The program mobilized substantial matching contributions; combined total obligations reached $659.1 million when federal and non-federal shares are combined, indicating recipients and partners contributed $559.1 million in matching funds.
Do not pursue this program. It was a time-limited Recovery Act initiative that closed following its 2010 funding cycle and remains inactive as of October 2026.
