Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 061319 002
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), through the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA). It is the American Indian Vocational Rehabilitation Services (AIVRS) program, listed under CFDA number 84.250M. The competition is a discretionary grant program (Funding Opportunity Number: ED GRANTS 061319 002) intended to support vocational rehabilitation efforts specifically tailored to American Indian communities.
The core purpose of AIVRS is to fund vocational rehabilitation (VR) services for American Indians with disabilities who live on or near Federal or State reservations. A major emphasis is that services should be culturally appropriate and designed around each eligible individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. The program expects services to align with the person’s strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests, and informed choice. In practice, that means helping participants prepare for, secure, and maintain high-quality employment, with the broader goal of increasing economic self-sufficiency and expanding long-term opportunities for individuals and their communities.
In terms of who can apply, the listing identifies Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized) as eligible applicants, and it also notes that additional eligible entities may exist as described in the official notice (the summary references an “Additional Information on Eligibility” section for clarification). The agency anticipated making around 42 awards under this competition. The notice shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically means the ceiling was not specified in the summary record and applicants need to consult the official Federal Register application notice for the actual funding parameters, including any limits, recommended award sizes, match requirements (if any), and the project period.
The timeline for this opportunity was set with applications available on June 13, 2019, and a deadline to submit applications by July 29, 2019. To help applicants prepare, OSERS planned to post pre-recorded technical assistance webinars by June 18, 2019, hosted on the Department of Education RSA grants page. OSERS also planned to open a pre-application Q and A blog by June 18, 2019, where prospective applicants could ask questions specifically about application requirements; OSERS would post answers to questions received. That blog was scheduled to remain open until July 2, 2019, after which applicants were instructed to direct questions to the listed program contact.
For application logistics and detailed requirements, the synopsis stresses that the authoritative source is the application notice published in the Federal Register. That official notice contains the binding instructions on how to apply, what must be included in the application package, the program’s performance measures, any competitive priorities, and contact information. It also directs applicants to follow the Department of Education’s “Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs” (published February 13, 2019, 84 FR 3768) for addresses and submission procedures, which is where applicants would confirm formatting, submission methods, and other government-wide or department-wide application rules.
The program contact listed for questions after the blog closure was August Martin at the U.S. Department of Education, with an office address at 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 5064A, Potomac Center Plaza, Washington, DC 20202-2800, telephone (202) 245-7410, and email August.Martin@ed.gov. For applicants or partners, the practical takeaway is that AIVRS is designed to support tribally focused VR programs that blend standard employment and rehabilitation strategies with culturally grounded service delivery, aiming for employment outcomes that translate into greater independence and economic stability for American Indians with disabilities living in or near reservation communities.Apply for ED GRANTS 061319 002
