Who can apply
State educational agencies (SEAs); State lead agencies (LAs) under Part C of IDEA; local educational agencies (LEAs), including public charter schools that are considered LEAs under State law; Institutes of Higher Education (IHEs); other public agencies; private nonprofit organizations; freely associated States and outlying areas; Indian Tribes or Tribal organizations; and for-profit organizations.Note: Non-SEA applicants must include a letter of support from the SEA indicating that the SEA will work with the applicant if the applicant is awarded the grant.In order to provide SEAs with greater flexibility in how TA is delivered and ensure high-quality TA, and in accordance with 34 CFR 75.127, individual States have the following options: (1) Participating as a member of a multi-State consortium; or (2) applying directly for funds as a single State. Therefore, eligible applicants for funds awarded under the priority may be an entity serving a multi-State consortium or a single State.Note: For additional information regarding group applications, refer to 34 CFR 75.127, 75.128, and 75.129.Eligible applicants are invited to submit single-State applications or be a member of a consortium application to provide DeafBlind TA services to individual States. If a State is included in more than one application as a member of a consortium or submits an individual State application, and more than one application is determined to be fundable for the State, the State will be given the option to choose the award (individual State or consortium) under which it will receive funding. A State may not be funded under multiple awards. The maximum level of funding for a consortium will reflect the combined total that the eligible entities comprising the consortium would have received if they had applied separately. For States within a consortium, each State must receive services consistent with its identified funding level.
