Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

this program is to ensure that parents of 

children with disabilities receive 

training and information to help 

improve results for their children. 

Priority: In accordance with 34 CFR 

75.105(b)(2)(iv) and (v), this priority is 

from allowable activities specified in 

the statute, or otherwise authorized in 

the statute (see sections 671 and 681(d) 

of the Individuals with Disabilities 

Education Act (IDEA)). 

Absolute Priority: For FY 2013 and 

any subsequent year in which we make 

awards from the list of unfunded 

applicants from this competition, this is 

an absolute priority. Under 34 CFR 

75.105(c)(3), for this competition, we 

consider only applications that meet 

this priority. 

This priority is: 

Parent Training and Information 

Centers. 

Background: 

Almost 35 years of research and 

experience has demonstrated that the 

education of children with disabilities 

can be made more effective by 

strengthening the ability of parents to 

participate fully in the education of 

their children at school and at home 

(see section 601(c)(5)(B) of IDEA). 

This notice announces a priority 

designed to help ensure that parents of 

children with disabilities have the 

training and information they need to 

participate in the education of their 

children. 

Parent Training and Information 

Centers (PTIs) are designed to meet the 

needs of parents of children with 

disabilities living in the States, regions 

of the States, or territories served by the 

PTIs, particularly underserved parents 

and parents of children who may be 

inappropriately identified as having a 

disability. Under this priority, PTIs will, 

consistent with section 671 of IDEA, 

provide parents of children with 

disabilities with the training and 

information they need to enable them to 

participate cooperatively and effectively 

in helping their children to— 

(a) Meet developmental and 

functional goals and the challenging 

academic achievement standards that 

have been established for all children; 

and 

(b) Be prepared to lead productive 

independent adult lives, to the 

maximum extent possible. 

The following Web site provides 

further information on the work of 

previously funded PTIs: 

www.parentcenternetwork.org. 

Priority: 

To be considered for funding under 

this absolute priority, applicants must 

meet the application requirements 

contained in the priority. All projects 

funded under the absolute priority also 

must meet the programmatic and 

administrative requirements specified in 

the priority. 

Application Requirements: An 

applicant must include in its 

application— 

(a) A logic model that depicts, at a 

minimum, the goals, activities, outputs, 

and outcomes of the proposed project. A 

logic model communicates how a 

project will achieve its outcomes and 

provides a framework for both the 

formative and summative evaluations of 

the project; 

Note: The following Web sites provide 

more information on logic models: www.

researchutilization.org/matrix/logicmodel_

resource3c.html and http://archive.tadnet.

org/model_and_performance?format=html. 

(b) A plan to implement the activities 

described in the Project Activities 

section of this priority; 

(c) A plan, linked to the proposed 

project’s logic model, for a formative 

evaluation of the proposed project’s 

activities. The plan must describe how 

the formative evaluation will use clear 

performance objectives to ensure 

continuous improvement in the 

operation of the proposed project, 

including objective measures of progress 

in implementing the project and 

ensuring the quality of products and 

services; 

(d) A budget for attendance at the 

following:
