Attachment 7- Previous Recipient Eligibility Response Required if Applicable.docx

This is an attachment document for the Oregon Department of Education's Career and Technical Education (CTE) Revitalization Grant 2025-2027 Request for Applications (RFA S-58100-00016940), specifically designed for previous grant recipients to demonstrate their eligibility for the current funding cycle. The document requires previous CTE Revitalization Grant recipients to provide detailed information about their prior funded project, including the biennium period, project title, and the applicant's specific role. Applicants must submit a brief summary of their previous project that identifies primary focus areas, participating schools, and major funded activities. Previous recipients must demonstrate eligibility for the 2025-2027 grant cycle by confirming that either the current proposal represents a new project managed by the previous recipient or that the applicant is partnering in a new collaborative project that differs significantly from the previous initiative. The application submission deadline is June 24, 2026, at 2:59 PM (PDT), with all project activities required to be completed by June 30, 2027, and final reports due October 8, 2027.

Previous recipients must also document how their district, school, or organization implemented sustainability plans from the prior grant and how project components were maintained or continued after the initial grant period ended. This attachment serves as a critical screening tool to ensure that applicants seeking renewed funding can demonstrate meaningful progress from prior investments and that new proposals represent substantive advances rather than duplicative efforts. The maximum grant award is $125,000 for single-school applications and up to $250,000 for multi-district consortia, with administrative costs capped at 5 percent of the total project budget. All applications must be submitted electronically through Smartsheet, and the grant is funded through legislative appropriation in SB 5515 (2025), with the performance period running July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027.
