The overall program goal is to improve academic achievement and outcomes for children with disabilities by strengthening the quality and reach of technical assistance, spreading useful and usable information, supporting model demonstration efforts, and prioritizing activities grounded in scientifically based research. The award is made as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance (for example, collaboration on priorities, deliverables, and coordination with other federally supported efforts).
