About this program
The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (CFDA 17.262) funds continuing evaluations of programs and activities under title I of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, with the most recent grant award issued on June 30, 2009.
This program is dormant. No grant opportunities have been posted recently, and award activity ceased in 2009 after a sharp decline from prior years. The portfolio shows 231 total awards spanning from 2001 to 2009, with activity heavily concentrated in 2005, which accounted for 88 awards. Award cadence dropped dramatically thereafter: 27 awards in 2006, 1 in 2007, and 1 in 2009. The most recent award—Project Grant MI190960960A25—obligated $99,750 and completed in June 2010. The prior award, from 2007, also obligated approximately $100,000.
All awards under this program are Project Grants. The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration was the sole funding source across all 231 awards, obligating approximately $110.5 million in federal dollars. Award magnitudes ranged widely in practice, from under $25,000 to approximately $3.3 million, with 2005 awards concentrated between $50,000 and $900,000. Many awards from 2006 (when congressional earmarks dominated) supported pilots, demonstrations, and research initiatives targeting workforce investment; others provided technical assistance to state and local workforce agencies. The 2006 awards typically obligated between $50,000 and $800,000, with a notable award (EA15654RY0) obligating $3.27 million.
Given the seventeen-year gap between the most recent award and the present date, no active solicitations are known to exist under this Assistance Listing. The Workforce Investment Act framework was substantially restructured by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act in 2014, making this program's reactivation unlikely without legislative action.
