Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 062525 001
The U.S. Department of Education, through the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) and the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), is offering a discretionary grant opportunity under the Educational Technology, Media, and Materials for Individuals with Disabilities Program. This specific competition is titled "Stepping-up Technology Implementation" and is listed under Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 84.327S. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond standard grant monitoring, such as collaboration on key activities, deliverables, or project direction.
The overall purpose of the ETechM2 Program is to improve results for children with disabilities by strengthening how technology and accessible instructional resources are developed and used in educational settings. The program is focused on four connected outcomes: promoting the development, demonstration, and use of technology for children with disabilities; supporting educational activities that have practical value in classroom instruction for these students; ensuring captioning and video description supports that are appropriate for classroom use; and improving timely access to accessible educational materials for children with disabilities. In plain terms, the program is intended to help schools and related partners move from ideas and isolated tools to real, effective, scalable implementation of accessible and assistive technologies and instructional media that students can actually use when and where learning happens.
Eligibility is broad and includes state educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs) including public charter schools that are recognized as LEAs under state law, institutions of higher education (IHEs), other public agencies, private nonprofit organizations, freely associated states and outlying areas, Indian Tribes or Tribal organizations, and for-profit organizations. This wide eligibility suggests the Department is open to proposals led by school systems, universities, nonprofits, tribal entities, and even private-sector organizations, as long as the proposed work aligns with the program goals and the requirements in the official Federal Register notice.
Key administrative details included in the synopsis indicate the opportunity number is ED GRANTS 062525 001, it was created on June 25, 2025, and the application closing date is July 25, 2025. The Department anticipates making about five awards. The synopsis does not provide an award ceiling amount, so applicants would need to consult the official Federal Register application notice for budget parameters, period of performance, and any match or cost-sharing expectations (if applicable).
Finally, the notice emphasizes that the short description provided is only a synopsis and that the controlling requirements are in the official Federal Register application notice. Applicants are also directed to follow the Department of Education Common Instructions for Applicants to Discretionary Grant Programs (published December 23, 2024) for the official procedures on how to obtain and submit an application, along with other government-wide application requirements. For any serious applicant, the next step is to read the Federal Register notice carefully for the specific priority or priorities under "Stepping-up Technology Implementation," required project components, performance measures, submission rules, and the program contact information.Apply for ED GRANTS 062525 001
