About this program
The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services funds protection and advocacy services for assistive technology acquisition, utilization, and maintenance for individuals with disabilities through CFDA 84.343, with the most recent grant awards dated October 1, 2014.
Activity in this program has stalled. The last observable grant awards were disbursed over twelve years ago; no new opportunities have been posted since that time. From 2010 through 2014, the program maintained a steady cadence of approximately 57 awards annually before ceasing new disbursements.
The program distributes Formula Grants and Project Grants in a 61–39 split, with Formula Grants dominating the portfolio. All 849 historical awards and $52.7 million in combined federal obligations flowed through the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services as the sole funding agency.
Recent awards illustrate the program's structure: Formula Grant H343A140011 (October 2013, $105 thousand) and Formula Grant H343A140016 (October 2013, $88 thousand) represent larger awards in the distribution, while many formula grants in the 2014 cohort carried smaller obligations in the $10 thousand to $30 thousand range. A substantial portion of 2014 awards carried $0 obligations, suggesting the formula mechanism may have allocated funding to certain recipients while others received nominal or deferred disbursements.
No current grant opportunities are open under this listing. The absence of recent award activity combined with no posted solicitations indicates the program is not actively accepting applications at this time.
