Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program
The purpose of the Training and
Technical Assistance grant under the
Centers for Independent Living program
is to provide training and technical
assistance to eligible agencies, centers
for independent living (CILs), and
Statewide Independent Living Councils
(SILCs) with respect to planning,
developing, conducting, administering,
and evaluating CILs.
A CIL is a consumer-controlled,
community-based, cross-disability,
nonresidential private nonprofit agency
that is designed and operated within a
local community by individuals with
disabilities and that provides an array of
independent living services. An eligible
agency is a consumer-controlled,
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
20369
community-based, cross-disability,
nonresidential, private nonprofit
agency.
The purpose of independent living
services is to maximize leadership,
empowerment, independence, and
productivity of individuals with
significant disabilities, and to integrate
these individuals into the mainstream of
American society.
Each State establishes a SILC that
jointly develops and signs the State Plan
for Independent Living with the
Designated State Unit and monitors,
reviews, and evaluates the
implementation of the State plan. A
majority of a SILC’s members are
individuals with disabilities, and other
members include CIL representatives
and State agency representatives, as
well as other appropriate individuals.
Priorities: This competition contains
two absolute priorities. These priorities
are from the notice of final priorities for
this program, published in the Federal
Register on June 22, 2007 (72 FR 34450).
Background
The Department is inviting
applications for one grant to provide
training and technical assistance to CILs
and SILCs. This is a change from how
we conducted the last competition for
this grant. In 2007, we awarded separate
grants to train CILs and SILCs. In
response to the FY 2007 notice of
proposed priorities published in the
Federal Register on March 6, 2007 (72
FR 9936), the majority of the
commenters expressed their preference
for awarding a single training and
technical assistance grant for both CILs
and SILCs. These commenters stated
that training CILs and SILCs together
would allow them to understand each
other’s activities, needs, and issues and
would promote effective
communication and collaboration
between CILs and SILCs, thus enabling
them to better achieve their common
goals. While CILs and SILCs have
discrete statutorily-based
responsibilities, commenters recognized
that CILs and SILCs share the common
fundamental objective to improve
independent living for persons with
significant disabilities.
While acknowledging the validity of
the concerns expressed regarding
separate grants, the Department
determined in 2007 that the benefits of
two grants outweighed the potential
costs. The Department believed that two
grants would permit grantees to focus
training and technical assistance on the
specific needs of CILs and SILCs
separately to ensure that the unique
activities and responsibilities of the
CILs and SILCs were addressed.
