Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education is the FY 2009 competition for the Vocational Rehabilitation Services Projects for American Indians With Disabilities Program (CFDA 84.250A). The central goal is to fund projects that deliver vocational rehabilitation (VR) services to American Indians with disabilities who live on or near Federal or State reservations. The program is designed to help eligible individuals prepare for, obtain, and maintain gainful employment that matches their own strengths, priorities, abilities, interests, and informed choice. The notice makes clear that "employment" is meant broadly and can include traditional wage employment as well as self-employment, telecommuting, or business ownership.
The opportunity was posted on August 12, 2009, with applications available the same day and a deadline for transmittal of applications of September 11, 2009. The Department anticipated making about 15 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $6,079,350 and an award ceiling of $365,000 per grant. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for this competition, which generally means applicants are not required to contribute a specific non-federal share to be eligible.
Eligibility is limited to the governing bodies of Indian Tribes and consortia of those governing bodies that are located on Federal and State reservations. The notice points applicants to the program regulations for the definition of "Indian Tribe" at 34 CFR 371.4, which includes Federal or State Indian bands, rancherias, pueblos, colonies, and communities, and also includes Alaska Native villages and regional village corporations as recognized under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. In practice, this means the intended applicants are tribal governments or formal consortia representing multiple tribal governments, rather than individuals or private organizations, unless the official notice provides specific additional allowances.
Applications were expected to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education e-Application system via the e-Grants portal (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The synopsis emphasizes that applicants should not email an electronic copy of the application to the Department because the online submission process saves entered data directly into a database. The announcement also stresses that this summary is only a synopsis and that the controlling requirements are those published in the official Federal Register notice, which would contain the detailed instructions on pre-application and application requirements, submission procedures, performance measures, priorities, and other compliance expectations.
For access or submission problems, the notice lists a grants systems contact (Julius Cotton, ED Grants.gov Systems Admin, 202-245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov). For programmatic questions, it lists the Program Manager (August Martin) at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, room 5088, Potomac Center Plaza (PCP), Washington, DC 20202-2800, telephone 202-245-7410.
