Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 082322 001
The Augustus F. Hawkins Center of Educational Excellence (Hawkins) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE), offered under the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE). It is authorized under Part B of Title II of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, and is listed under Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 84.116K. The program is built around the idea of funding and strengthening "centers of excellence" housed at eligible institutions of higher education in order to improve the teacher preparation pipeline and ultimately increase the supply of effective teachers for high-need schools.
The core purpose is to increase and retain well-prepared teachers from diverse backgrounds and to strengthen the diversity of the teacher workforce, particularly in ways that help address persistent achievement gaps in low-performing elementary and secondary schools. The grant emphasizes the full teacher pipeline rather than only one stage of preparation. That means funded projects are expected to address multiple connected components such as recruiting future teachers, delivering high-quality preparation, providing ongoing supports, placing graduates into classrooms in high-need local education agencies (LEAs), and improving retention once those teachers begin working in schools serving underserved students. In addition, the Department signals a clear preference for projects that build their designs on evidence-based components and practices within teacher preparation, suggesting an expectation that applicants will use approaches with credible research support and a plan to implement them well.
Eligibility is tied to the location and nature of the proposed center of excellence. The centers must be established at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribal Colleges or Universities (TCUs), or other Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), including Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), and the institution must have a State-accredited teacher preparation program. The listing also indicates that eligible applicants include public and State-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, with additional eligibility detail referenced in the official Federal Register notice. Practically, the opportunity is aimed at institutions that already prepare teachers and can demonstrate both the institutional capacity and the partnerships needed to recruit, prepare, and support candidates into high-need school settings.
Funding is provided as a grant, with an award ceiling of $1,600,000 per award and an expectation of 5 awards. Key dates included in the synopsis show that applications became available on August 23, 2022, the deadline for transmittal of applications was October 7, 2022, and the deadline for intergovernmental review was December 6, 2022. The notice repeatedly stresses that the synopsis is not a substitute for the official application notice published in the Federal Register, and that applicants should rely on that official notice for the controlling requirements, including detailed eligibility rules, required application components, submission instructions, performance measures, and any competitive priorities.
For procedural guidance on where to obtain and submit applications, the opportunity points applicants to the Department of Education Revised Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs (published December 27, 2021). Program contacts listed for further information are Dr. Vicki Robinson (Vicki.Robinson@ed.gov, 202-453-7907) and Ashley Hillary (Ashley.Hillary@ed.gov, 202-453-7880), both at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20202.Apply for ED GRANTS 082322 001
