Full Text of Announcement

I. Funding Opportunity Description

    Purpose of Program: The purposes of the Technology and Media 
Services for Individuals with Disabilities program are to: (1) Improve 
results for children with disabilities by promoting the development, 
demonstration, and use of technology; (2) support educational media 
services activities designed to be of educational value in the 
classroom setting to children with disabilities; and (3) provide 
support for captioning and video description of educational materials 
that are appropriate for use in the classroom setting.
    Priority: In accordance with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(v), this priority 
is from allowable activities specified in the statute or otherwise 
authorized in the statute (see sections 674 and 681(d) of the 
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), 20 U.S.C. 1474 and 
1481(d)).
    Absolute Priority: For FY 2009 and any subsequent year in which we 
make awards from the list of unfunded applicants from this competition, 
this priority is an absolute priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3) we 
consider only applications that meet this priority.
    This priority is:
    Technology and Media Services for Individuals With Disabilities--
NIMAS.
    Background: The National Instructional Materials Accessibility 
Standard (NIMAS) was established by the Secretary of Education, 
pursuant to sections 612(a)(23)(A) and 674(e)(4) of IDEA, for 
publishers to create electronic files that can be used by States and 
accessible media producers (AMPs) to produce accessible versions of 
print instructional materials. Publishers must apply NIMAS in the 
production of electronic file sets for all print instructional 
materials, as defined in section 674(e)(3)(C) of IDEA (20 U.S.C. 
1474(e)(3)(C)), published after July 19, 2006. The purpose of this 
requirement is to ensure that publishers use a common standard to 
create electronic files that facilitate the production of accurate and 
reliable accessible versions of instructional materials. The goal is to 
help increase the quality, availability, and timely delivery of print 
instructional materials in accessible formats to children in elementary 
and secondary schools who are blind or who have print disabilities.
    The Department of Education (Department) funded the NIMAS 
Development Center in September 2004 and charged it with providing 
recommendations to the Department on revisions and updates to the 
technical specifications of NIMAS. These updates were needed to ensure 
that NIMAS remained current with technological advances, was consistent 
with updates to the Digital Accessible Information System (DAISY) 
specification (DAISY is a worldwide standard for digital talking 
books), and addressed concerns that were identified during the 
implementation of NIMAS. The NIMAS Development Center also has 
developed technical clarification documents, conducted training and 
presentations, and contributed to the development of production and 
workflow models for publishers, distributors, AMPs, States, and local 
educational agencies (LEAs). Foremost among the NIMAS

[[Page 26662]]

Development Center's activities to promote, develop, and use technology 
related to making NIMAS a more effective standard has been its use of a 
NIMAS advisory board to address the challenges of maintaining alignment 
with the Extensible Markup Language (XML) standard upon which NIMAS is 
based and supporting the development and use of Mathematical Markup 
Language (MathML). The following Web site provides more information on 
the work of the NIMAS Development Center: https://www.nimas.cast.org.
    The Department seeks to fund a center to continue some of the work 
of the NIMAS Development Center that was funded in 2004, including the 
provision of technical updates to NIMAS at least once during its five-
year project period to ensure that state-of-the art technology is being 
used.
    Priority: The purpose of this priority is to fund a cooperative 
agreement to support the establishment and operation of a NIMAS center 
(Center) that will maintain and update the technical specifications of 
NIMAS to ensure that children with blindness and other print 
disabilities will have access to as broad a range of print 
instructional materials as possible through the use of electronic file 
formatting technology.
    To be considered for funding under this absolute priority, 
applicants must meet the application requirements contained in this 
priority. Any project funded under this absolute priority also must 
meet the programmatic and administrative requirements specified in the 
priority.
    Application Requirements. An applicant must include in its 
application--
    (a) A logic model that depicts, at a minimum, the goals, 
activities, outputs, and outcomes of the proposed project. A logic 
model communicates how a project will achieve its outcomes and provides 
a framework for both the formative and summative evaluations of the 
project;

    Note: The following Web site provides more information on logic 
models: https://www.cdc.gov/eval/resources.htm.

    (b) A plan to implement the activities described in the Project 
Activities section of this priority;
    (c) A plan, linked to the proposed project's logic model, for a 
formative evaluation of the proposed project's activities. The plan 
must describe how the formative evaluation will use clear performance 
objectives to ensure continuous improvement in the operation of the 
proposed project, including objective measures of progress in 
implementing the project and ensuring the quality of products and 
services;
    (d) A budget for a summative evaluation to be conducted by an 
independent third party;
    (e) A budget for attendance at the following:
    (1) A one day kick-off meeting to be held in Washington, DC, within 
four weeks after receipt of the award, and an annual planning meeting 
held in Washington, DC, with the Office of Special Education Programs 
(OSEP) Project Officer during each subsequent year of the project 
period.
    (2) A three-day Project Directors' Conference in Washington, DC, 
during each year of the project period.
    (3) A one-day trip annually to attend Department briefings, 
Department-sponsored conferences, and other meetings, as requested by 
OSEP.
    Project Activities. To meet the requirements of this priority, the 
Center, at a minimum, must conduct the following activities:
    Technical Assistance and Dissemination Activities.
    (a) Facilitate and support the technical compatibility of the NIMAS 
file set with the National Instructional Materials Access Center's 
(NIMAC) distribution system, including the technologies employed by 
publishers and other production facilities to create both high-quality 
NIMAS files as well as accessible commercial products.
    (b) Maintain a Web site that meets government or industry-
recognized standards for accessibility and that links to the Web site 
operated by OSEP's Technical Assistance Coordination Center (TACC) and 
the Web site for each OSEP-funded project that supports the 
implementation of NIMAS.
    (c) Prepare and disseminate to the Department (1) reports at least 
midway through the project period on issues identified regarding the 
implementation of NIMAS and (2) recommendations on revising the 
technical specifications of NIMAS no later than during the fourth year 
of the project period. In consultation with the OSEP Project Officer, 
make selected reports, documents, and other materials available to, at 
a minimum, publishers, software developers, and AMPs.
    Leadership and Coordination Activities.
    (a) Establish and maintain a Standards Board to recommend updates 
to the technical specifications of NIMAS, including the extent to which 
future versions of NIMAS should incorporate universal design features, 
and provide technical support to OSEP throughout the project period. At 
a minimum, the Standards Board must meet on an annual basis in 
Washington, DC, and may meet more frequently through alternate means 
such as teleconferencing. The Standards Board must include: Technology 
experts; software engineers; accessible instructional materials (AIM) 
producers; and representatives from the publishing industry, the DAISY 
consortium, the Access Board, NIMAC, and the National Center on AIM 
that OSEP intends to fund in FY 2009. The Center must submit the names 
of proposed members of the Standards Board to OSEP for approval within 
eight weeks of receipt of the award.
    (b) Communicate with, and solicit input from, a wide range of 
stakeholders, including currently funded OSEP programs (e.g., NIMAC, 
the American Printing House for the Blind, Bookshare.org for Education, 
and Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic), and the National Center on AIM 
that OSEP intends to fund in FY 2009.
    (c) Participate in, organize, or facilitate, as directed by OSEP, 
communities of practice (see https://www.tacommunities.org) that are 
aligned with the Center's objectives as a way to support discussions 
and collaboration among key stakeholders such as technology experts; 
software engineers; AIM producers; and representatives from the 
publishing industry, the DAISY consortium, the Access Board, NIMAC, and 
the National Center on AIM that OSEP intends to fund in FY 2009.
    (d) Maintain ongoing communication with the OSEP Project Officer 
through monthly phone conversations and e-mail communication.
    Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking: Under the Administrative Procedure 
Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553), the Department generally offers interested 
parties the opportunity to comment on proposed priorities and 
requirements. Section 681(d) of IDEA, however, makes the public comment 
requirements of the APA inapplicable to the priority in this notice.
    Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1474 and 1481.
    Applicable Regulations: The Education Department General 
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in 34 CFR parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 80, 
81, 82, 84, 85, 86, 97, 98, and 99.

of receipt of your grant application. If you do not receive this grant 
notification within 15 business days from the application deadline 
date, you should call the U.S. Department of Education Application 
Control Center at (202) 245-6288.

V. Application Review Information

    1. Selection Criteria: The selection criteria for this competition 
are from 34 CFR 75.210 and are listed in the application package.
    2. Review and Selection Process: In the past, the Department has 
had difficulty finding peer reviewers for certain competitions because 
so many individuals who are eligible to serve as peer reviewers have 
conflicts of interest. The Standing Panel requirements under IDEA also 
have placed additional constraints on the availability of reviewers. 
Therefore, the Department has determined that, for some discretionary 
grant competitions, applications may be separated into two or more 
groups and ranked and selected for funding within the specific groups.

[[Page 26665]]

This procedure will make it easier for the Department to find peer 
reviewers by ensuring that greater numbers of individuals who are 
eligible to serve as reviewers for any particular group of applicants 
will not have conflicts of interest. It also will increase the quality, 
independence, and fairness of the review process while permitting panel 
members to review applications under discretionary grant competitions 
for which they also have submitted applications. However, if the 
Department decides to select an equal number of applications in each 
group for funding, this may result in different cut-off points for 
fundable applications in each group.

VI. Award Administration Information

    1. Award Notices: If your application is successful, we notify your 
U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and send you a Grant Award 
Notification (GAN). We may notify you informally, also.
    If your application is not evaluated or not selected for funding, 
we notify you.
    2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements: We identify 
administrative and national policy requirements in the application 
package and reference these and other requirements in the Applicable 
Regulations section of this notice.
    We reference the regulations outlining the terms and conditions of 
an award in the Applicable Regulations section of this notice and 
include these and other specific conditions in the GAN. The GAN also 
incorporates your approved application as part of your binding 
commitments under the grant.
    3. Reporting: At the end of your project period, you must submit a 
final performance report, including financial information, as directed 
by the Secretary. If you receive a multi-year award, you must submit an 
annual performance report that provides the most current performance 
and financial expenditure information as directed by the Secretary 
under 34 CFR 75.118. The Secretary may also require more frequent 
performance reports under 34 CFR 75.720(c). For specific requirements 
on reporting, please go to https://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/appforms/appforms.html.
    4. Performance Measures: Under the Government Performance and 
Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), the Department has established a set of 
performance measures, including long-term measures, that are designed 
to yield information on various aspects of the effectiveness and 
quality of the Technology and Media Services for Individuals with 
Disabilities program. These measures focus on the extent to which 
projects provide high-quality products and services, are relevant to 
improving outcomes for children with disabilities, and contribute to 
improving outcomes for children with disabilities. We will collect data 
on these measures from the project funded under this competition.
    The grantee will be required to report information on its project's 
performance in annual reports to the Department (34 CFR 75.590).
