I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: This program is 

designed to support projects for training 

State vocational rehabilitation (VR) unit 

personnel in program areas essential to 

the effective management of the unit’s 

program of VR services and in skill 

areas that will enable personnel to 

improve their ability to provide VR 

services leading to employment 

outcomes for individuals with 

disabilities. The State VR Unit InService Training program responds to 

needs identified in the comprehensive 

system of personnel development 

(CSPD) of the State plan to address 

recruitment and retention of qualified 

rehabilitation professionals, to provide 

for succession planning, and to provide 

for leadership development and 

capacity building. 

Priorities: In accordance with 34 CFR 

75.105(b)(2)(ii), these priorities are from 

the regulations for this program (34 CFR 

388.22). Under 34 CFR 388.21(b), the 

Secretary reserves funds to support 

some or all of the proposals that have 

been awarded a rating of 80 points or 

more under the selection criteria 

described in 34 CFR 388.20. 

Absolute Priorities: For FY 2010 these 

priorities are absolute priorities. Under 

34 CFR 75.105(c)(3) and 34 CFR 

388.21(b), we consider for quality 

awards only applications that meet one 

or more of the following absolute 

priorities. 

Priority 1—Development and 

Dissemination of Model In-Service 

Training Materials and Practices: The 

proposed project demonstrates an 

effective plan to develop and 

disseminate information on its State VR 

In-Service Training program, including 

the identification of training approaches 

and successful practices, in order to 

permit the replication of these programs 

by other State VR units. 

Priority 2—Distance Education: The 

proposed project demonstrates 

innovative strategies for training State 

VR unit personnel through accessible 

distance education methods, such as 

interactive audio, video, computer 

technologies, or existing 

telecommunications networks. 

Priority 3—Enhanced Employment 

Outcomes for Specific Populations: The 

proposed project supports specialized 

training in the provision of VR or 

related services to individuals with 

disabilities to increase the rehabilitation 

rate into competitive employment for all 

individuals or specified target groups. 

Program Authority: 29 U.S.C. 721 and 

772. 

Applicable Regulations: (a) The 

Education Department General 

Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in 

34 CFR parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 80, 81, 82, 

84, 85, 86, and 99. (b) The regulations 

for this program in 34 CFR parts 385 

and 388. 

Note: The regulations in 34 CFR part 

79 apply to all applicants except 

federally recognized Indian tribes. 

Note: The regulations in 34 CFR part 

86 apply to institutions of higher 

education only. 

II. Award Information 

Type of Award: Discretionary grants. 

Estimated Available Funds: The total 

amount of funding available for these 

awards in FY 2010 is $5,664,900, 

including $4,531,920 for basic awards 

(CFDA Number 84.265A) and 

$1,132,980 for quality awards (CFDA 

Number 84.265B). Basic awards are 

calculated annually and distributed 

according to staffing levels of the State 

agencies obtained from data on the 

Annual Vocational Rehabilitation 

Program/Cost Report (RSA–2). The total 

amount of basic awards is not more than 

80 percent of the total available for State 

VR Unit In-Service Training. The 

minimum level of a basic award is onethird of one percent of the funds 

available. For FY 2010 that amount is 

$18,883 (34 CFR 388.21(a)(3)). 

Applicants must apply for the basic 

award and for the quality award 

separately. 

Note: (1) The actual funding amounts 

for basic awards will be calculated 

based on the FY 2009 RSA–2 data 

submitted by State VR Units. (2) The 

Department is not bound by any 

estimates in this notice. 

Estimated Range of Awards: $18,883– 

$295,000 for basic awards and $15,000– 

$85,000 for quality awards. 

Estimated Average Size of Awards: 

$70,811 for basic awards and $56,649 

for quality awards. 

Estimated Number of Awards: 80 

basic awards and 20 quality awards. 

Project Period: Up to 60 months.

agency, the estimated available funds

under the basic award program. 

2. Cost Sharing or Matching: Grantees 

under the State VR Unit In-Service 

Training program must provide at least

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 specified 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 

http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/ 

appforms/appforms.html. 

4. Performance Measures: The 

Government Performance and Results 

Act (GPRA) of 1993 directs Federal 

departments and agencies to improve 

the effectiveness of their programs by 

engaging in strategic planning, setting 

outcome-related goals for programs, and 

measuring program results against those 

goals. The primary objective of the State 

VR Unit In-Service Training program is 

to maintain and upgrade the knowledge 

and skills of personnel currently 

employed by State VR agencies. 

Grantees must provide training that 

responds to the needs identified in the 

CSPD as required by section 101(a)(7) of 

the Act. 

In order to measure the success of the 

State VR Unit In-Service Training 

program grantees in meeting this 

objective, State VR agencies are required 

to submit performance data through the 

in-service annual performance report 

and their State plans. At a minimum, 

the annual performance report must 

include data on the percentage of 

currently employed State VR agency 

counselors who meet their States’ CSPD 

standards.
