I. Abstract
The mission of the Economic

to lead the Federal economic agenda by
promoting innovation and
competitiveness, preparing American
regions for growth and success in the
worldwide economy. In order to
effectively administer and monitor its
economic development assistance
programs, EDA collects certain
information from applications for, and
recipients of, EDA investment
assistance.
A recipient must request in writing
EDA’s approval to undertake an
incidental use of property acquired or
improved with EDA’s investment
assistance (see 13 CFR 314.3 of EDA’s
regulations). This collection of
information allows EDA to determine
whether an incidental use of property
acquired or improved with EDA
investment assistance is appropriate. If
a recipient wishes EDA to release its
real property or tangible personal
property interests before the expiration
of the property’s estimated useful life,
the recipient must submit a written
request to EDA and disclose to EDA the
intended future use of the real property
or the tangible personal property for
which the release is requested (see 13

property or tangible personal property
interests.

I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The purpose of
the Technical Assistance and
Dissemination to Improve Services and
Results for Children with Disabilities
program is to promote academic
achievement and to improve results for
children with disabilities by providing
technical assistance (TA), supporting
model demonstration projects,
disseminating useful information, and
implementing activities that are
supported by scientifically based
research.
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 663 and 681(d) of
the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA), 20 U.S.C. 1463,
1481(d).
Absolute Priority: For FY 2015 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:
Technical Assistance and
Dissemination to Improve Services and
Results for Children with Disabilities—
Model Demonstration Projects to
Improve Adolescent Literacy for
Students with Disabilities in Middle and
High Schools, Grades 6–12.
Background: The purpose of this
priority is to fund three cooperative
agreements to establish and operate
model demonstration projects that are
designed to improve adolescent literacy
for students with disabilities in middle
and high school grades 6 through 12,
who score below grade level in reading,
or who have identified reading goals
and objectives on their individualized
education program. Results from the
National Assessment of Educational
Progress (NAEP) demonstrate that there
is a persistent gap in reading
achievement between students with
disabilities and those without
disabilities. In 2013, the average scaled
scores of eighth graders with
disabilities, excluding those with a 504
plan, were 42 points lower than their
non-disabled peers. Sixty-five percent of
eighth graders with disabilities scored
below basic level on the reading
assessment compared with 19 percent of
eighth graders without disabilities (U.S.
Department of Education, 2014).
Adolescents must possess the ability
to read for understanding across a wide
variety of content in order to meet
college- and career-ready standards.

Elements of literacy at the middle and
secondary level include the ability to
recognize and decode words and how
students engage in reading as well as
writing and oral communication skills.
To improve adolescent literacy, as
defined for the purpose of this priority,
models should be designed to
implement evidence-based adolescent
literacy interventions that are based on
strong theory or evidence of promise for
improving reading, and locating,
understanding, interpreting, evaluating,
and using written information across
multiple content areas. Intensive
reading intervention to improve
adolescent literacy should also include
a mix of effective instruction, modeling,
professional development, and
evidence-based teaching practices that
are appropriate for classroom and small
group settings. Evidence also suggests
the implementation of reading
interventions requires well trained
professionals who are prepared to
incorporate these interventions within
instruction across subjects in middle
and high school grades (Faggella-Luby,
Ware, & Capozzoli, 2009). Therefore,
adolescent literacy models should also
include professional development as a
component of the model. In addition,
such models need to be replicable
across content areas in classrooms and
small group settings in multiple school
sites, with a goal of scaling-up the
intervention for wider use.
Priority: The purpose of this priority
is to fund three cooperative agreements
to establish and operate model
demonstration projects that are designed
to improve the literacy of adolescents
with disabilities in middle and high
school grades. For purposes of this
priority, the target population includes:
Students with disabilities in grades 6
through 12 who score below grade level
in reading, or who have identified
reading goals and objectives on their
individualized education program. For
purposes of this priority, the term
‘‘adolescent literacy’’ refers to the skills
needed by individuals with disabilities
in middle or high school grades to
locate, read, understand, interpret,
evaluate, and use written information
across multiple content areas.
(a) Model demonstration projects
funded under this priority must direct
their efforts at improving adolescent
literacy interventions in content areas
using effective whole-class and small
group instructional approaches for
students with disabilities;
(b) Models must also include—
(1) A professional development
component to teach educators how to
implement the interventions with
fidelity across a variety of content areas.
