Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 051118 001
The Teacher Quality Partnership (TQP) Grant Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to strengthen how teachers are prepared and supported, with the larger goal of improving student achievement. In practical terms, the program targets the pipeline from teacher preparation through the first years in the classroom. It emphasizes better training for prospective teachers, stronger induction and professional development for new teachers, and tighter alignment between what teacher preparation programs teach and what states require for certification and licensure.
A central theme of the program is accountability for institutions of higher education (IHEs) and their educator preparation programs. The grant is intended to push preparation programs to demonstrate that the teachers they graduate can meet state credentialing requirements and are ready to succeed in real classroom environments. The program also places heavy emphasis on recruitment into teaching, specifically encouraging applicants to bring in highly qualified candidates who may be underrepresented in the profession, including minorities, as well as individuals transitioning from other occupations. This reflects a broader workforce strategy: improve the quality of new entrants, diversify the teacher workforce, and make it easier for strong candidates to enter teaching through well-structured preparation pathways.
This opportunity was published under the funding opportunity title "Teacher Quality Partnership Grant Program" with funding opportunity number ED GRANTS 051118 001. It is categorized as a discretionary grant under the Education funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 84.336. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," with the important caveat that applicants must consult the official Federal Register notice for the precise eligibility rules and required partnership structure. Programs like TQP typically require formal partnerships (often involving an IHE and one or more high-need school districts or schools), but the definitive requirements are contained in the official notice rather than the synopsis.
The notice set out a clear timeline for applicants. Applications were made available on May 11, 2018. The Department indicated it would provide technical assistance through pre-recorded informational webinars hosted on the TQP program webpage, intended to help applicants understand requirements and navigate the application process. A notice of intent to apply was due on June 11, 2018, followed by the deadline to submit full applications on June 26, 2018. The intergovernmental review deadline was August 24, 2018. These steps reflect the standard federal grants process: early signaling of applicant interest, a firm submission deadline, and subsequent coordination requirements under intergovernmental review processes where applicable.
Funding levels in this posting indicate an expected maximum award (ceiling) of $1,000,000, with approximately 20 awards anticipated. As with many federal discretionary competitions, the award ceiling gives a sense of the upper bound per project, while the actual award amount can vary depending on the final scope and budget review. Applicants are directed to the Federal Register application notice for the controlling details on submission requirements, performance measures, competitive priorities, contact information, and any pre-application expectations.
Overall, the TQP program is aimed at strengthening educator preparation and early-career support in a way that is measurable and aligned to state credentialing expectations. It focuses on improving outcomes for students by improving the readiness, effectiveness, and diversity of the teaching workforce, while also increasing the responsibility of preparation providers to show results. For anything that determines whether an organization can apply and how an application must be structured, the official Federal Register notice is the authoritative source.Apply for ED GRANTS 051118 001
