Opportunity Summary:
The National Activities: National Assistive Technology Public Internet Site grant (CFDA 84.224B2) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to support a single national project that improves public awareness of, and access to, assistive technology (AT). It is authorized under section 6 of the Assistive Technology Act of 1998, as amended, which allows the Secretary of Education to fund national activities that strengthen how the AT Act is administered. In practical terms, the goal of this competition is to fund the development and operation of a national, publicly available Internet site focused on assistive technology information dissemination.
The opportunity was posted March 1, 2010, with applications made available the same day and a submission deadline of April 30, 2010. The Department anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000. The listing indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational type, allowing public or private entities, nonprofit or for profit organizations, and institutions of higher education to apply, as long as they meet specific capacity and expertise expectations. The notice emphasizes that applicants should (a) emphasize research and engineering, (b) have a multidisciplinary research center, and (c) demonstrate expertise in several key areas tied directly to running an effective national AT information portal. Those areas include experience working with assistive technology and intelligent agent or interactive information dissemination systems; managing libraries or collections of assistive technology and disability related resources; delivering education, information, and referral services to individuals with disabilities (including technology based curriculum development services for adults with low level reading skills); building cooperative partnerships with private sector entities, especially software, hardware, and Internet service providers; and designing and developing advanced Internet sites. The eligible applicant list includes many organization categories (such as state and local governments, school districts, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, and public and private colleges and universities), but the core requirement is meeting the specialized technical and service delivery qualifications described above.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through the Department of Educations e Application system via the e Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov).
