Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 052725 003
This FY 2025 discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) is focused on strengthening the pipeline of well-prepared professionals who serve children with disabilities who have high-intensity needs. The program sits under Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 84.325K and supports projects that improve interdisciplinary personnel preparation across early intervention, special education, related services, and regular education. In practice, the goal is to help states and service systems have enough qualified people, trained in effective approaches, to better serve infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities, especially those who require more intensive, coordinated supports.
The purpose is twofold. First, it aims to address state-identified workforce needs by expanding and improving preparation pathways for key roles in early intervention and education, including special education teachers and related services personnel (for example, disciplines commonly involved in supporting children with disabilities). Second, it emphasizes quality, expecting that the people trained through funded projects will gain the skills and knowledge grounded in practices supported by scientifically based research. The intent is not just to produce more personnel, but to produce personnel who are demonstrably prepared to succeed in real settings where learners with significant needs require consistent, evidence-based, and collaborative supports.
Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education (IHEs) and private nonprofit organizations that have the legal authority to enter into Federal grants and cooperative agreements on behalf of an IHE. For nonprofit applicants, the notice points to 34 CFR 75.51 for how to document nonprofit status. Acceptable documentation can include current IRS recognition of 501(c)(3) status, a certification from a state taxing body or the state attorney general, a certified copy of incorporation materials that clearly establish nonprofit status, or equivalent documentation that applies to a parent organization along with an affiliate statement.
Key administrative details included in the synopsis are that the opportunity is issued as a grant (funding instrument type: Grant) within the education funding activity category, with an opportunity number of ED GRANTS 052725 003. The original closing date listed is June 26, 2025. The Department anticipates making about 24 awards. An award ceiling is not specified in the provided synopsis, so applicants would need to consult the official Federal Register application notice for the exact funding ranges, project periods, and any limitations or match requirements (if applicable).
Because the text provided is explicitly a synopsis, it repeatedly emphasizes that the Federal Register notice is the controlling source for the full requirements. That includes the official priorities, performance measures, pre-application and application requirements, detailed submission instructions, and program contact information. It also directs applicants to use the Department of Education Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs, published December 23, 2024 (89 FR 104528), which covers the standardized rules and procedures for submitting discretionary grant applications, including where and how to obtain and submit the application package.Apply for ED GRANTS 052725 003
