The key evaluation criteria include the project's significance (15 points), quality of project design (35 points), evaluation (15 points), resources (20 points), and management plan (15 points). Applications are due by March 26, 2025, with an estimated award date of September 20, 2025.
The Department expects to award between $175,000 to $824,315 annually per PTI center, with a project period of up to 60 months. Eligible applicants must be private nonprofit organizations with boards primarily composed of parents of children with disabilities, including professionals in special education and individuals with disabilities.
