Purpose of Program: The purpose of
the Disability Innovation Fund (DIF)
Program, as provided by the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023
(Pub. L. 117–328), is to support
innovative (as defined in this notice)
activities aimed at increasing
competitive integrated employment
(CIE) as defined in section 7 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973
(Rehabilitation Act) (29 U.S.C. 705(5)) 1
for youth and other individuals with
disabilities.
Priority: This competition contains
one absolute priority. We are
establishing the absolute priority for the
FY 2024 grant competition and any
subsequent year in which we make
awards from the list of unfunded
applications from this competition, in
1 See 34 CFR 361.5(c)(9) for the regulatory
definition of ‘‘competitive integrated employment,’’
which further clarifies the definition in the
Rehabilitation Act.

General Education Provisions Act
(GEPA), 20 U.S.C. 1232(d)(1).
Background
In 2018, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) reported
that 61 million (one in four or 26
percent) adults in the United States live
with a disability (Okoro et al., 2018).
During the 2022–23 school year, 7.1
million students, ages 5 through 21,
received special education services and/
or related services under the IDEA
(Source: U.S. Department of Education,
EDFacts Data Warehouse (EDW): ‘‘IDEA
Part B Child Count and Educational
Environments Collection’’, available at
https://data.ed.gov/dataset/ideasection-618-state-part-b-child-countand-educational-environments/
resources). Additionally, during the
2020–21 school year, 1.6 million
students with disabilities were served
solely under Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act. (Source: U.S.
Department of Education, Office for
Civil Rights, 2020–21 Civil Rights Data
Collection, available at https://
civilrightsdata.ed.gov).2
Individuals with disabilities,
including youth with disabilities (as
defined in this notice), experience
diverse disabilities that include physical
disabilities (such as mobility
impairments or chronic health
conditions), sensory disabilities (such as
visual or hearing impairments),
intellectual disabilities (such as
developmental delays or cognitive
impairments), and mental health
disabilities (such as depression, anxiety,
or bipolar disorder). It is important to
recognize that all individuals with
disabilities have unique strengths,
talents, and contributions to offer; and
it is essential for service providers to
adopt a person-centered approach to
support individuals with disabilities to
achieve their goals for CIE. This means
recognizing their individual needs,
preferences, and goals, and involving
them in decision-making processes that
affect their lives. Supporting selfdetermination and empowerment are
crucial for promoting independence,
economic self-sufficiency, and CIE.
2 The IDEA Part B Child Count and Educational
Environments Collection includes all 50 States, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Outlying
Areas (United States Virgin Islands, Guam,
American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of
Northern Mariana Islands), and the Freely
Associated States (Federated States of Micronesia,
the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the
Republic of Palau). In addition, if a public school’s
enrollment for a school year was less than five
students for fewer than 60 days, the Office for Civil
Rights may exempt that school from Civil Rights
Data Collection reporting.
