Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 051618 001
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) opportunity titled "Center to Improve Social and Emotional Learning and School Safety" (CFDA 84.424B) is a U.S. Department of Education discretionary grant announced as a cooperative agreement. The core idea is to fund a single national or centralized "Center" that will deliver technical assistance to help states and school districts strengthen how they implement social and emotional learning (SEL) programs and practices, specifically ones that meet the notice's definition of "evidence-based." Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the Department of Education is expected to have a more active role in guiding or collaborating with the awardee than it would under a typical grant, and applicants would need to be prepared for ongoing coordination with the Department across the life of the project.
The purpose of the Center is capacity-building at multiple levels of the education system rather than direct classroom service delivery. The Center is intended to increase the ability of State educational agencies (SEAs) to support local educational agencies (LEAs), and to increase the ability of LEAs to support their schools. In practical terms, that usually means helping state and district leaders select appropriate evidence-based SEL approaches, plan for high-quality implementation, train staff, use data for continuous improvement, and align SEL work with broader efforts connected to school climate and school safety. While the title references school safety, the description emphasizes that SEL implementation is a key lever for improving the conditions that contribute to safer, more supportive school environments.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and private entities that could plausibly operate a technical assistance center. Eligible applicants listed include state, county, city or township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, other than IHEs); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and other entities as clarified in the official notice. This wide eligibility suggests the Department was open to a range of potential lead organizations, including universities, research and development organizations, nonprofits with national technical assistance experience, governmental entities, and qualified contractors.
Key administrative details included in the synopsis are that the opportunity number is ED GRANTS 051618 001, the posting date (creation date) is May 16, 2018, and applications were available the same day. The deadline to submit applications was July 2, 2018. The Department expected to make one award, signaling that the Center was intended to be a single, coordinated entity rather than multiple regional awards. The synopsis lists an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that the ceiling was not specified in the summary record and that applicants needed to consult the Federal Register notice for actual funding levels, project period, and any budget parameters.
The announcement repeatedly emphasizes that this summary is only a synopsis and that the controlling source is the official Federal Register application notice. That official notice is where applicants would find the detailed requirements, including the definition of "evidence-based," application formatting and submission rules, required project activities and deliverables, absolute or competitive priorities, performance measures, and contact information for the program office. It also points applicants to the Department's "Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs" (published February 12, 2018, 83 FR 6003) for the standardized directions on how to obtain, prepare, and submit an application. In short, the opportunity funds one cooperative-agreement technical assistance Center designed to help states and districts adopt and implement evidence-based SEL strategies in ways that strengthen school support systems and contribute to safer, more positive learning environments.Apply for ED GRANTS 051618 001
