Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 071425 006

The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) is offering a discretionary grant competition to fund a single national coordinating center under the Model Comprehensive Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities Program, commonly referred to as TPSID-CC (Assistance Listing Number 84.407B). The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the Department of Education expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than operating as a completely hands-off funder. The goal is to create and run a central hub that supports colleges and universities delivering inclusive, comprehensive transition and postsecondary (CTP) programs for students with intellectual disabilities.

The core purpose of the TPSID-CC is to strengthen and connect institutions of higher education that are building or operating inclusive postsecondary pathways for students with intellectual disabilities. This includes institutions that already receive TPSID program grants authorized under 84.407A, as well as institutions that are not currently part of the TPSID portfolio. In practice, this coordinating center is meant to serve as a field-wide resource that helps institutions improve quality, consistency, and outcomes by providing coordination, shared tools, guidance, and other supports that make it easier to design, implement, and sustain effective inclusive CTP programs.

Eligibility is defined by section 777(b)(1) of the Higher Education Act (HEA). Applicants must qualify as an "eligible entity," meaning either a single organization or a partnership of organizations, and they must be able to demonstrate expertise across four specific areas: higher education; educating students with intellectual disabilities; developing comprehensive transition and postsecondary programs for students with intellectual disabilities; and evaluation and technical assistance. The emphasis on evaluation and technical assistance signals that the coordinating center is expected not only to understand inclusive postsecondary education in theory, but also to help other institutions apply evidence-informed practices, measure results, and continuously improve their programs.

The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 071425 006, was created on July 14, 2025, and has an application closing date of August 14, 2025. The Department of Education anticipates making one award (Expected Awards: 1). The synopsis provided notes that it is not a substitute for the official Federal Register notice, and applicants are directed to the official application notice for the complete requirements, including eligibility details, pre-application and application requirements, submission procedures, performance measures, priorities, and agency contact information. Applicants are also directed to follow the Department's Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs, published December 23, 2024 (89 FR 104528), which lays out standard submission and procedural rules that apply across many Education discretionary grant competitions.
