Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement — National Employer Policy, Research, and Technical Assistance Center on the Employment of People with Disabilities — is cataloged under number FOA-ODEP-19-01 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 17.720, posted by Office of Disability Employment Policy. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on April 22, 2019. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a cooperative agreement.
Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $8,000,000. Cost sharing is not required, so applicants do not need to commit matching funds to be competitive on this opportunity. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on June 24, 2019. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully — federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed — it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities.

Instrument
Cooperative Agreement
Description
This solicitation is a re-competition of an existing cooperative agreement. The work done under the new Center will build upon the prior work of ODEP’s Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability Inclusion (EARN). The new Center, which will retain the name EARN, will continue to conduct research; engage with the business community; identify effective policies and practices that support business needs; and provide resources, technical assistance, and training to help public and private sector employers (including Federal contractors) recruit, hire, retain, and advance individuals with disabilities. The new Center will differ from the current, however, in that it will have a stronger focus on policy development, research, and compliance assistance activities that will be driven and developed in collaboration with private sector business entities, including through a network of business intermediary organizations representing groups of employers.
