Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services and Office of Special Education Programs; Grant Award for FY 1999

Resumo

On February 24, 1998, a notice was published in the Federal Register (63 FR 9376) inviting applications for a new FY 1998 award for six Regional Resource Centers (RRCs) to help States improve their special education programs. Five of the six RRCs were funded. An approvable application was not received from Region I. The purpose of this notice is to invite applications for a Regional Resource Center in Region I (the Center) which will become a key component of OSEP's expanded systems change efforts, serving not only in its traditional capacity as a technical assistance provider and as a resource for information requests from all States within the region, but also as a broker of technical assistance for SEAs, LEAs and their partners. This notice provides the closing date and other information regarding the transmittal of applications for a fiscal year 1999 competition under one program authorized by IDEA, as amended: Special Education--Technical Assistance and Dissemination to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities. This notice supports the National Education Goals by helping to improve results for children with disabilities.
