OSERS-OSEP: National Center on Academic Interventions Assistance Listing Number (ALN): 84.326Q

About this funding opportunity

Program Description: The purpose of the Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities program is to promote academic achievement and to improve results for children with disabilities by providing technical assistance (TA), supporting model demonstration projects, disseminating useful information, and implementing activities that are supported by scientifically based research.

The 2024 National Assessment of Education Progress results illustrate the significant achievement gaps in reading and mathematics for students with disabilities. [1] Local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools need to continuously improve their systems and practices to address achievement gaps of students with disabilities and support educators’ implementation of evidence-based literacy and mathematics instruction that meet the individualized needs of students with disabilities so they are prepared for success in school and postsecondary opportunities. Through this competition and to address these needs, the Department intends to establish a National Center on Academic Interventions.
