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

This is an attachment to a Request for Applications (RFA) issued by the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) for the 2025-2027 Career and Technical Education (CTE) Revitalization Grant. The document serves as an eligibility response form required exclusively for applicants who were recipients of previous CTE Revitalization Grant funding. Applicants must complete this form to demonstrate their eligibility to apply in the current funding cycle. The form requires applicants to provide information about their previous grant award, including the biennium funded, project title, and the applicant's specific role in that prior project. Additionally, applicants must submit a brief summary of the previously funded project that describes its primary focus areas, participating schools, and major funded activities to establish context for their continued or new work in CTE programming.

Previous recipients must satisfy at least one of two eligibility conditions to qualify for the 2025-2027 grant cycle: either the current proposal must represent a new project managed by the previous recipient, or the applicant must be partnering in a new collaborative project that is significantly different from the previous undertaking. Applicants must explain which condition or conditions their proposal meets and provide justification for their selection. The form also requires documentation of sustainability efforts, specifically asking applicants to describe how their district, school, or organization implemented sustainability plans from the prior grant and maintained or continued project components following the grant period's conclusion. This requirement ensures that previously funded initiatives demonstrate long-term viability and lasting impact beyond the initial funding period.
