SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Full Text of Announcement I. Funding Opportunity Description Purpose of Programs: 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 TA, supporting model demonstration projects, disseminating useful information, and implementing activities that are supported by scientifically based research. The purpose of the Demonstration and Training program is to provide competitive grants, including cooperative agreements, to, or enter into contracts with, eligible entities to expand and improve the provision of vocational rehabilitation (VR) and other services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by title IV of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) (Rehabilitation Act), or to further the purposes and policies in sections 2(b) and (c) of the Rehabilitation Act by supporting activities that increase the provision, extent, availability, scope, and quality of rehabilitation services under the Rehabilitation Act, including related research and evaluation activities. Priority: This notice includes one absolute priority. For the Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities program, in accordance with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(v), the absolute priority is from allowable activities specified in sections 663 and 681(d) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (20 U.S.C. 1463 and 1481(d)). For the Demonstration and Training program, we are also establishing this priority for the FY 2020 grant competition and any subsequent year in which we make awards from the list of unfunded applications from this competition, in PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 accordance with section 437(d)(1) of the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA), 20 U.S.C. 1232(d)(1). Absolute Priority: For FY 2020 and any subsequent year in which we make awards from the list of unfunded applications 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: National Technical Assistance Center on Transition for Students and Youth with Disabilities (Center). Background: Students and youth with disabilities must be held to high expectations and have the resources and supports needed to expand their learning opportunities and prepare them for success in postsecondary education or careers. This priority is aligned with the Secretary’s Final Supplemental Priorities and Definitions for Discretionary Grant Programs (Supplemental Priorities) published in the Federal Register on March 2, 2018 (83 FR 9096) and is designed to foster flexible and affordable paths to obtaining knowledge and skills; foster knowledge and promote the development of skills that prepare students to be informed, thoughtful, and productive individuals and citizens; and meet the unique needs of students and children with disabilities and those with unique gifts and talents. This priority also is designed to prepare students for successful transitions to college and careers by improving access to career, technical, and adult education (CTE) and exploring options, such as dual enrollment, that facilitate transition from secondary school to postsecondary education and workforce job skills development; to prepare students for high-quality science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education with a particular focus on computer science; 1 and provide students with equal access to high-quality educational opportunities. The IDEA and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), provide States flexibility with the design of their educational systems and other provisions to support and promote college and career readiness for students, including those with disabilities (English et al., 2016). Under ESEA, States need to ensure students 1 STEM is also a national priority.
