Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 030920 001
This grant opportunity is offered by the U.S. Department of Education through the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), specifically the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA). The program is called American Indian Vocational Rehabilitation Services (AIVRS) and is listed under CFDA number 84.250N. It is a discretionary grant program, meaning funding is awarded competitively based on the quality of applications and how well proposed projects align with program goals and federal requirements.
The central purpose of AIVRS is to support vocational rehabilitation (VR) services for American Indians with disabilities who live on or near federal or state reservations. The program emphasizes services that are culturally appropriate and individualized, reflecting each eligible persons strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests, and informed choice. In practical terms, the program is meant to help participants prepare for and obtain high-quality employment, with the broader goal of increasing economic self-sufficiency and expanding long-term opportunities for individuals and their communities.
Eligibility is primarily aimed at federally recognized Native American tribal governments, with the listing also indicating that other entities may be eligible depending on the details provided in the official Federal Register notice (the summary points readers to an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section in the formal announcement for clarifications). Because the synopsis provided here is not the full legal notice, applicants are expected to consult the official Federal Register application notice for exact eligibility rules, required documentation, and any special conditions that apply to applicants or service areas.
From an administrative standpoint, applications were made available on March 9, 2020, and the deadline to submit applications was May 26, 2020. The opportunity forecasts an estimated 30 awards. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that the ceiling was not specified in this summary record and applicants should rely on the official notice for any funding ranges, maximum award amounts, project periods, match or cost-sharing requirements (if any), and other budget-related constraints.
The synopsis repeatedly stresses that the Federal Register notice is the authoritative source for the competition. That official notice contains the detailed instructions applicants need, including pre-application and application requirements, how and where to submit materials, program priorities, selection criteria, performance measures, and program contact information. It also directs applicants to the Department of Education "Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs" published February 13, 2019 (84 FR 3768), which outlines standardized submission and formatting rules used across many Education discretionary grant competitions.
For direct questions, the listed federal point of contact is August Martin at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Room 5064A, Potomac Center Plaza, Washington, DC 20202-2800, phone (202) 245-7410, email August.Martin@ed.gov. For applicants preparing a proposal, the key takeaway is that AIVRS is designed to fund tribal and related efforts to deliver culturally grounded vocational rehabilitation services that lead to real employment outcomes for American Indians with disabilities living on or near reservations, and the full compliance roadmap for applying must be pulled from the official Federal Register notice and the Education Department common instructions.Apply for ED GRANTS 030920 001
