The OSERS-OSEP grant opportunity titled "Personnel Development to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities - Preparation of Special Education, Early Intervention, and Related Services Leadership Personnel" (Assistance Listing Number 84.325D) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Education through the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). At a high level, the competition is designed to strengthen the pipeline of highly skilled personnel who can lead and improve systems that serve children with disabilities, including infants and toddlers. The underlying focus is not only increasing the number of qualified professionals, but also ensuring those professionals are trained in approaches grounded in scientifically based research and field experience so they can deliver effective services and produce stronger outcomes for children with disabilities.
The core purpose of the program is twofold. First, it aims to help address State-identified needs in personnel preparation across special education, early intervention, related services, and also regular education settings where staff work with children with disabilities. In practice, that means the program is meant to respond to real workforce gaps and priority areas identified at the state level, rather than operating as a one-size-fits-all training effort. Second, it aims to ensure that the personnel prepared through these projects have the skills and knowledge needed to succeed, specifically emphasizing practices supported by research and professional experience. In other words, the program is about improving both capacity (more trained people) and quality (better, evidence-informed preparation), with the ultimate goal of better services and better results for children with disabilities and their families.
Eligible applicants are fairly broad and include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), and other eligible entities as described in the official notice. This eligibility structure reflects how these projects are often carried out: universities frequently lead leadership preparation and advanced training programs, while nonprofits can play major roles in training, technical assistance, partnerships, and implementation supports depending on what the notice allows.
From the funding details provided, the Department of Education listed an award ceiling of $750,000 and anticipated making around 39 awards. The opportunity was posted May 10, 2023, with applications made available the same day. The deadline to submit applications was July 7, 2023, and the deadline for intergovernmental review was September 5, 2023. While those dates are specific to that competition cycle, they also signal the typical structure of these discretionary grant competitions: a relatively short application window, followed by later intergovernmental review timelines where applicable.
Applicants were directed to rely on the official Federal Register application notice as the controlling source for requirements, including eligibility specifics, priorities, submission instructions, performance measures, and contact information. The synopsis also points applicants to the Department's Revised Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs (published December 7, 2022) for the standard addresses and general submission expectations. For support in understanding the competition, OSERS planned to post pre-recorded pre-application webinars by May 15, 2023 on the OSEP grants page, which is commonly used to walk potential applicants through priorities, common pitfalls, and submission logistics.
For questions, the listed federal contact for this opportunity was Celia Rosenquist at the U.S. Department of Education (Potomac Center Plaza), reachable by phone at 202-245-7373 and by email at Celia.Rosenquist@ed.gov. Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as an investment in leadership-oriented personnel preparation: building a workforce that can both deliver and guide high-quality special education, early intervention, and related services using evidence-based practices, aligned with the needs states have identified in serving children with disabilities.Apply for ED GRANTS 050823 002
