The
President’s Budget Proposal, released in
February of 2015, would increase ANA’s
budget by $3.5 million. The proposed
Community Native Language
Coordination Initiative will build upon
the successes of ANA’s short-term,
project-based funding to support
community capacity building and
systems development projects to ensure
that high-quality language instruction,
appropriate and culturally responsive
curricula, professional development,
and additional services and supports are
aligned, implemented, and evaluated to
create a seamless path for Native
language acquisition across generations
for educational and economic success.
The Initiative will address gaps in
community coordination and bring
together key drivers of program
effectiveness: strong community ties,
integrated language/educational
services, support services and
interventions tailored to the specific
community, high performing
collaborations, and committed leaders
and community champions.
We are interested in obtaining input
from Tribal Leaders on eligibility
criteria, funding levels, project duration,
technical assistance needs, and
potential measurable outcomes, among
other things.
The ANA Tribal Consultation Session
will be held on Wednesday, May 20,
2015, from 1 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Testimonies must be submitted no

Note: On July 22, 2014, President Obama
signed the Workforce Innovation
Opportunity Act (WIOA). WIOA was
effective immediately. One provision of
WIOA transferred the National Institute on
Disability and Rehabilitation Research
(NIDRR) from the Department of Education to
the Administration for Community Living
(ACL) in the Department of Health and
Human Services. In addition, NIDRR’s name
was changed to the Institute on Disability,
Independent Living, and Rehabilitation
Research (NIDILRR). For FY 2015, all
NIDILRR priority notices will be published as
ACL notices, and ACL will make all NIDILRR
awards. During this transition period,
however, NIDILRR will continue to review
grant applications using Department of
Education tools. NIDILRR will post
previously-approved application kits to
grants.gov, and NIDILRR applications
submitted to grants.gov will be forwarded to
the Department of Education’s G–5 system
for peer review. We are using Department of
Education application kits and peer review
systems during this transition year in order
to provide for a smooth and orderly process
for our applicants.
