Funding posture

Large-ceiling program without open NOFOs in index

Teacher Incentive Fund carries a mega-scale SAM.gov ceiling ($5.0 million to $50.0 million) while Grants.gov contributes no indexed opportunities under CFDA 84.390. This shape usually marks block/formula assistance or agency-direct awards, not a missing scrape alone.

Assistance Listing text · ED

Competitive grants for performance-based teacher and principal compensation systems in high-need schools.

Public-sector applicant lane · ED

SAM.gov lists only government/tribal applicants for Teacher Incentive Fund. This is a public-sector Assistance Listing corridor, not a general nonprofit or small-business open call.
