Opportunity Summary:
The Vocational Rehabilitation Services Projects for American Indians with Disabilities (CFDA 84.250H) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to support vocational rehabilitation (VR) services for American Indians with disabilities who live on or near Federal or State reservations. The central goal is employment: helping eligible individuals prepare for, obtain, and maintain gainful work. The program emphasizes tailoring services to each person, taking into account individual strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests, and informed choice. The employment outcomes are intentionally broad and include traditional wage employment as well as self-employment, telecommuting, and business ownership, recognizing that the best job match may look different depending on a person and a community.
Eligible applicants are limited to the governing bodies of Indian Tribes located on Federal and State reservations, as well as consortia made up of those governing bodies. In practical terms, this funding is meant to be administered by tribal governments (or groups of tribal governments working together) to deliver VR services that are culturally appropriate and geographically accessible to community members with disabilities.
For this competition cycle, the opportunity was posted on April 8, 2011, with applications made available the same day. The deadline for transmittal of applications was June 7, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on July 7, 2011. The Department anticipated making about 6 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,500,000. Individual awards could be as high as $740,000, and there was no stated award floor. The listing also specifies that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Applications were to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov using the governmentwide "Apply" portal. Applicants were instructed to locate the correct application package by searching the CFDA number without the alpha suffix, meaning they should search for "84.250" rather than "84.250H." For technical submission issues, Grants.gov provided a helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726 and support@grants.gov. The notice also points applicants to the Federal Register as the official source for full requirements and details, and notes that free access to the Federal Register and related regulations is available through GPO Access.
For program-specific questions or trouble accessing the full announcement, the notice lists Joyce Mays (Management Analyst) at (202) 245-6122 and joyce.mays@ed.gov. A program manager contact is also provided: August Martin, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 5049, Potomac Center Plaza, Washington, DC 20202, telephone (202) 245-7410.
