program through an appropriations act 

in fiscal year 1998 and authorized the 

Attorney General to provide grants 

under the JAIBG program for states and 

units of local government, to include 

tribal governments. They were to use 

these funds to support innovative, 

effective programs that reduce juvenile 

offending through accountability-based 

initiatives focusing on offenders and the 

juvenile justice system and that improve 

the efficiency of state juvenile justice 

systems. The Department of Justice

provisions to change the name of the 

JAIBG program to the Juvenile 

Accountability Block Grants (JABG) 

program, expand the number and scope 

of the program areas, refine the 

program’s reporting and monitoring 

requirements, and include program

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Office of Disability Employment Policy 

[SGA 07–09] 

National Technical Assistance Center 

on Transition and Employment for 

Youth With Disabilities; Solicitation for 

Cooperative Agreement 

Announcement Type: New notice of 

Availability of Funds and Solicitation 

for Grant Application (SGA) for 

cooperative agreement. 

Funding Opportunity Number: SGA 

07–09. 

Catalogue of Federal Domestic 

Assistance (CFDA) Number: 17.720. 

DATES: Key Date: Applications must be 

received by June 25, 2007. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Labor 

(‘‘DOL’’ or ‘‘Department’’), Office of 

Disability Employment Policy 

(‘‘ODEP’’’), announces the availability of 

up to $1.7 million to fund a cooperative 

agreement to establish the National 

Technical Assistance Center on 

Transition and Employment for Youth 

with Disabilities with a 24-month 

period of performance. In addition, this 

initiative may be funded for up to three 

(3) additional option years at 

approximately $1,000,000 per year, 

depending on performance, identified 

need and the availability of future 

funding. 

Over the last 10 years, a number of 

federal and state efforts to improve 

access to transition planning and 

services to improve education, 

employment, and community living 

outcomes for youth with disabilities 

have emerged. As a result, there has 

been some improvement in indicators 

relevant to the successful transition of 

youth with disabilities, including 

increases in graduation rates, increases 

in enrollment in postsecondary 

education, and increases in the number 

of youth entering the workforce. While 

this progress is encouraging, education 

and employment outcomes for youth 

with disabilities continue to lag 

substantially behind that of their peers 

without disabilities. 

To address this situation, ODEP is 

funding a national technical assistance 

center to build capacity within and 

across both generic and disabilityspecific youth service delivery systems 

to help youth with disabilities 

successfully transition from high school 

to post-secondary education and/or 

employment in high-demand career 

areas. Effectively addressing the 

complex and significant barriers to 

employment faced by youth with 

disabilities transitioning into the adult 

world requires the use of multiple 

strategies and the active involvement of 

many stakeholders, including Federal, 

State and local governments, nongovernmental organizations, and 

employers. 

This Center will conduct research, 

disseminate information, and provide 

technical assistance to a wide range of 

stakeholders on topics relevant to 

improving post-school outcomes for 

youth with disabilities including, but 

not limited to: 

• Effective practices, such as the 

emerging use of individual learning or 

graduation plans, for aligning and 

improving the education and workforce 

development systems to better meet 

employer demand; 

• Innovative service strategies which 

workforce development, and secondary 

and postsecondary programs and 

systems can utilize to better meet the 

needs of transitioning youth; 

• Professional development strategies 

for practitioners who work with youth; 

and 

• Effective models of multidisciplinary interagency collaboration 

and systems coordination needed to 

support youth in achieving positive 

post-school outcomes through 

comprehensive service delivery 

consistent with the Guideposts for 

Success, see http://www.dol.gov/odep/ 

categories/youth/. The Guideposts for 

Success serves as a conceptual 

framework on improving transition 

outcomes for youth with disabilities. 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

1. Description and Purpose 

ODEP will award one cooperative 

agreement to establish a national 

technical assistance and research center. 

The center will: (1) Conduct research to 

identify, validate and document 

effective practices and policies; (2) 

disseminate information; (3) provide 

technical assistance; (4) encourage 

collaboration; and (5) work with states 

and localities on multiple strategies for 

improving the post-school outcomes or 

youth with disabilities. The overall 

purpose of this effort is to build the 

capacity of workforce development, 

economic development, and educational 

service delivery systems and their 

partners to work together strategically to 

ensure that youth with disabilities 

graduate from high school and enter 

employment and/or further postsecondary education and training with 

the skills needed to meet employer 

demand in the 21st century workplace, 

and to maximize their ability to be selfsufficient and to live independently. 

The Center’s research related 

activities will improve systems capacity 

to provide comprehensive transition 

services utilizing research-based 

strategies consistent with the 

Guideposts for Success. It must include, 

but is not limited to, the following 

activities: 

(a) Conducting an analysis of all states 

currently implementing individual 

learning/graduation planning strategies 

for all youth to identify practices and 

strategies that support positive 

outcomes or create barriers for youth 

with disabilities. 

(b) Identifying effective practices for 

coordinating education, career 

preparation, youth development and 

leadership, health, and other 

employment-related support services 

that improve transition outcomes for 

youth with disabilities. The Center must 

consult with other appropriate technical 

assistance providers within the 

Departments of Labor, Education, 

Health and Human Services, and other 

Federal agencies in this effort. 

(c) Assessing the impact of 

implementing a comprehensive 

professional development strategy on 

both the job retention of youth service 

practitioners and youth service 

outcomes. 

(d) The identification of curricula, 

instructional approaches, programs, and 

policies that are potentially effective for 

improving both the academic and 

functional workplace skills of 

adolescents and young adults with 

disabilities.
