expertise, and recommending them to

clients. We do not assume that a

program that has operated successfully

will necessarily be able to provide

effective trainers. The providers’

services should be voluntary (noncompensated), but the Exchange should

allocate resources for necessary travel

and per diem. Voluntary noncompensated services and cost-share

contributions (in-kind and/or cash) may

not include funds or expenses and time

and effort paid for by Corporation funds

under LSA or any other Corporation

grant. We encourage peer assistance

from one region to another when the

required support is not available within

a region.

3. Develop and implement a

management system for defining and

monitoring the roles and responsibilities

of the lead organization and all regional

and other partners within the Exchange.

This must include clear definition of the

principles and mechanisms for

allocating funds to all partners as well

as for submitting activity and financial

status reports to the Corporation.

4. Convene a meeting of all Exchange

partners immediately upon execution of

the cooperative agreement to facilitate

implementation of T/TA by developing

shared understanding of all participants’

responsibilities, resources, and

identities and roles of contact

personnel.

5. In collaboration with the LSA

National Service-Learning

Clearinghouse, develop and implement

a plan for conducting periodic technical

assistance resource and needs

assessments of all categories of LSA

grantees and the service-learning field,

including assessing the availability of

current resources to meet those needs.

The Corporation strongly encourages the

Exchange to undertake an initial needs

and resources assessment immediately

upon signing the cooperative agreement.

6. Work with the LSA National

Service-Learning Clearinghouse to

identify selected materials and

resources, developed and used

successfully by the Exchange in the

course of providing T/TA, for the

Clearinghouse to catalog and make

available to the field (using on-line

access whenever practical).

7. Develop T/TA resources to make

service-learning programs accessible to

individuals with disabilities.

8. Coordinate the activities of the

Exchange with appropriate entities to

avoid duplication of effort, including

but not limited to other National Service

T/TA providers funded by the

Corporation.

9. Collaborate with the Corporation

Office of Public Affairs to develop,

implement, and continuously improve

an outreach and marketing plan to

promote the services and resources of

the Exchange.

10. Support related Federal

initiatives, including the America Reads

Challenge and Improving America’s

Schools Act, by developing relevant T/

TA resources or making referrals to

existing providers, whichever is more

cost-effective.

11. Monitor and support the activities

of LSA grantees’ affinity groups.

12. Develop and implement the LSA

kindergarten through higher education

(hereinafter ‘‘K-H’’) publications plan in

coordination with the LSA National

Service-Learning Clearinghouse.

13. Facilitate the planning and

implementation of two annual LSA

program directors’ meetings, one for

school-based and community-based K–

12 programs and the other for higher

education programs, or possibly joint KH grantees’ meetings.

14. Carry out such other activities as

the Corporation, normally represented

by its Service-Learning Specialist in

consultation with the Office of Learn

and Serve America, determines to be

appropriate.

C. Amount and Duration of Funding

The first year’s award will total up to

$950,000. The cooperative agreement

may be funded each year for up to three

years total based on performance, need,

and the availability of funds.

Applications proposing notable costsharing (in kind and/or in cash) will

receive more favorable consideration.

D. Eligibility

Public or private nonprofit

organizations that have extensive

experience with service-learning

(school-based, campus-based, and/or

community-based, including use of

adult volunteers to foster servicelearning) are eligible to apply.

E. Applications

The Corporation will enter into only

one cooperative agreement in this area.

Based on related previous competitions

and the Corporation’s estimate of the

number of eligible applicants, the

Corporation expects nine or less

applications to be submitted.
