Forecast of Funding Opportunities under the Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021
This document lists virtually all programs and competitions under which the Department (we) has invited or expects to invite applications for new awards and provides actual or estimated deadline dates for the transmittal of applications under these programs. The lists are in the form of charts -- organized according to the Department's principal program offices -- and include programs and competitions we have previously announced, as well as those we plan to announce at a later date. If you are interested in applying for any upcoming grants with the Department of Education, please take the time to register with SAM at www.SAM.gov, as you must have an active account in order to submit a grant application with our agency. We recommend you register now even as you are looking for eligible grant programs so that your SAM registration is active by the time the application is published. This will allow you to focus on writing the application during the period the application is available and you are not spending a portion of that time obtaining SAM registration. Please click here to refer to the SAM tip sheet for additional information.
Note: This document is advisory only and is not an official application notice of the Department of Education. We expect to provide updates to this document starting in the first week of June in a fiscal year and continuing through the following August. Please keep in mind that the dates recorded in this document are SUBJECT TO CHANGE and that the average size/number of awards are ESTIMATES.
Note on printing: For best results, print this document in landscape orientation.
Organization of this Document
We have assigned to each principal office a separate chart as follows:
Chart 1 - Institute of Education Sciences.
Chart 2 - Office of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Chart 3 - Office of Postsecondary Education (Link to HEP Chart)
Chart 4 - Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (Links to RSA Chart)
Chart 5- Office of Career, Technical and Adult Education
Chart 6 - Office of English Language Acquisition
Grant Application Information
Here's how you can tell whether we've already published an application notice for a particular program or competition in the Federal Register and whether the dates we list in this Forecast of Funding Opportunities are actual or estimates:
If we have published the application notice, we will list the Federal Register (FR) volume and page number (e.g., 65 FR 53402) after the date in column two. The other dates for that program or competition (columns four and five) are actual (as opposed to estimated) dates.
If we do not follow the date in column two with an FR citation, it means that we have yet to publish the application notice, and the dates (columns, two, four, and five) are estimates only. The actual dates will appear in the official application notice for that program or competition in the Federal Register.
Date of Application Notice. In column two of the charts, we lists the actual or estimated date for publication of the application notice for a given program or competition.
Link to Notice. In column three of the charts, after its publication in the Federal Register, we will provide a link to the application notice for a given program or competition.
Electronic Grant Applications. Applications may be submitted electronically, for certain programs listed in the Forecast, through the Grants Management System (G5: www.g5.gov) or through Grants.gov. The requirements and instructions for submitting applications electronically under the program identified will appear in the Federal Register in the application notice for these programs or competitions. It is important to note that, if a competition is using Grants.gov, it will not be using G5 and vice versa. As part of doing business with the Federal Government, applicants must have an active registration with SAM (www.SAM.gov). Therefore, we strongly recommend that you create a SAM account now (or update your account if you already have an existing one) before the application package becomes available so that once the package is posted, your registration will be complete.
Contact Information
Program Contact Person. In column seven of the charts, we list the name, e-mail address, fax, and telephone numbers of the person or persons to contact for obtaining an application or further information about the programs listed. We also include this information in the actual application notice for that program.
For Users of TDD or FIRS. If you use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD), you may call the TDD number, if any, listed in the individual application notice. If a TDD number is not listed for a given program, individuals who use a TDD may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339.
Fiscal Information
Available Funds. The programs and funding amounts listed in this document are based on the Secretary's best estimates at this time. The Secretary is providing this document in order to give potential applicants adequate time to prepare applications. Potential applicants should note, however, that the Department may cancel some of the competitions listed in this document and may announce some new competitions not listed in this document.
Estimated Average Size of Awards and Number of Awards. Except for programs and competitions administered by the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), column six lists estimated average size and number of awards. The amounts and numbers referenced in this column are advisory and represent the Secretary's best estimates at this time. The average size of an award is the estimate for a single-year project or for the first budget period of a multi-year project. In the application package for an individual program or competition, applicants will receive information about the amount the Secretary intends to make available for each year of a multi-year project.
In the case of programs and competitions administered by the principal components of OSERS, the charts differ with regard to the average size of awards. For programs and competitions of this office, column six of the charts lists the average or estimated maximum size of the awards per year. Applicants will receive further information about funding amounts in the application packages for the individual programs.
Note: The Department is not bound by any of the estimates in this document. We advise you to read the actual individual application notices for these programs or competitions published in the Federal Register.

84.120A- Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program |
1. Eligible Applicants: The eligibility of an applicant is dependent on the type of MSEIP grant the applicant seeks. There are four types of MSEIP grants: institutional project, special project, cooperative project, and design project. Institutional project grants are grants that support the implementation of a comprehensive science improvement plan, which may include any combination of activities for improving the preparation of minority students for careers in science. There are two types of special project grants. First, there are special project grants for which only minority institutions are eligible. These special project grants support activities that: (1) improve quality training in science and engineering at minority institutions; or (2) enhance the minority institutions' general scientific research capabilities. There also are special project grants for which all applicants are eligible. These special project grants support activities that: (1) provide a needed service to a group of eligible minority institutions; or (2) provide in-service training for project directors, scientists, and engineers from eligible minority institutions. Cooperative project grants assist groups of nonprofit accredited colleges and universities to work together to conduct a science improvement program. Design project grants assist minority institutions that do not have their own appropriate resources or personnel to plan and develop long-range science improvement programs. We will not award design project grants in the FY 2021 competition. (a) For institutional project grants, eligible applicants are limited to-- (1) Public and private nonprofit institutions of higher education that: (i) award baccalaureate degrees; and (ii) are minority institutions; (2) Public or private nonprofit institutions of higher education that: (i) award associate degrees; and (ii) are minority institutions that (A) have a curriculum that includes science or engineering subjects; and (B) enter into a partnership with public or private nonprofit institutions of higher education that award baccalaureate degrees in science and engineering. (b) For special project grants for which only minority institutions are eligible, eligible applicants are described in paragraph (a). (c) For special project grants for which all applicants are eligible, eligible applicants include those described in paragraph (a), and-- (1) Nonprofit science-oriented organizations, professional scientific societies, and institutions of higher education that award baccalaureate degrees that: (i) provide a needed service to a group of minority institutions; or (ii) provide in-service training to project directors, scientists, and engineers from minority institutions; or (2) A consortia of organizations that provide needed services to one or more minority institutions, the membership of which may include: (i) institutions of higher education which have a curriculum in science or engineering; (ii) institutions of higher education that have a graduate or professional program in science or engineering; (iii) research laboratories of, or under contract with, the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, or the National Institutes of Health; (iv) relevant offices of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Science Foundation, and National Institute of Standards and Technology; (v) quasi-governmental entities that have a significant scientific or engineering mission; or (vi) institutions of higher education that have State-sponsored centers for research in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. (d) For cooperative project grants, eligible applicants are groups of nonprofit accredited colleges and universities whose primary fiscal agent is an eligible minority institution as defined in 34 CFR 637.4(b). Note: As defined in 34 CFR 637.4(b), minority institution means an accredited college or university whose enrollment of a single minority group or a combination of minority groups as defined in 34 CFR 637.4 exceeds 50 percent of the total enrollment. The Secretary verifies this information from the data on enrollments (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) 12-Month Enrollment survey) furnished by the institution to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), United States Department of Education.[1] Note: If you are a nonprofit organization, under 34 CFR 75.51, you may demonstrate your nonprofit status by providing: (1) proof that the Internal Revenue Service currently recognizes the applicant as an organization to which contributions are tax deductible under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; (2) a statement from a State taxing body or the State attorney general certifying that the organization is a nonprofit organization operating within the State and that no part of its net earnings may lawfully benefit any private shareholder or individual; (3) a certified copy of the applicant's certificate of incorporation or similar document if it clearly establishes the nonprofit status of the applicant; or (4) any item described above if that item applies to a State or national parent organization, together with a statement by the State or parent organization that the applicant is a local nonprofit affiliate. |
