Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) within the U.S. Department of Education offered this discretionary grant competition, titled Vocational Rehabilitation Services Projects for American Indians With Disabilities (CFDA 84.250G), to support vocational rehabilitation (VR) services for American Indians with disabilities who live on or near Federal or State reservations. The core aim is employment: helping eligible individuals prepare for, obtain, and keep gainful work that matches their strengths, priorities, abilities, interests, and informed choice. The notice also makes clear that employment is meant broadly, including self-employment, telecommuting, and business ownership, not just traditional wage jobs.
Funding was offered as grant awards, with an estimated total of $13,000,000 available and an expected 25 awards. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) listed is $450,000. The opportunity also indicates there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should plan to contribute non-federal resources or otherwise meet matching rules described in the official Federal Register notice.
Eligibility is limited to the governing bodies of Indian tribes located on Federal and State reservations, including consortia of those governing bodies. The synopsis highlights a definition update for "consortium," explaining that a consortium is two or more eligible tribal governing bodies that apply together either by designating one tribal governing body to apply on behalf of the group or by creating and designating a separate legal entity to apply. In practice, that means tribes can collaborate formally and still submit a single application structure, as long as it fits one of the approved consortium approaches.
The posting date for the opportunity was June 16, 2010, with applications becoming available June 21, 2010. The deadline for transmittal of applications was August 16, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on September 15, 2010. The Federal Register notice is emphasized as the controlling document for requirements and details, including pre-application and application requirements, submission instructions, performance measures, priorities, and program contacts.
Applications were expected to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The synopsis explicitly states that applicants could not submit an application by emailing an electronic copy; instead, the application had to be completed and transmitted through the designated online system where entered data is saved into a database.
For support and official points of contact, the synopsis lists Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin) as the technical/access contact at 202-245-6140 and julius.cotton@ed.gov, and identifies August Martin as the program manager at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, room 5088, Potomac Center Plaza (PCP), Washington, DC 20202-2800, phone 202-245-7410.
