Abstract: Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
discretionary grants are authorized to support technology, State
personnel development, personnel preparation, parent training, and
information and technical assistance activities. This grant application
provides the forms and information necessary for applicants to submit
an application for funding, and information for use by technical
reviewers to determine the quality of application. Note the following
changes: (1) Discretionary grants in the area of research have been
excluded from this collection since special education research grants
are now under the authority of IES. (2) State Personnel Development
Grants (previously know as the State Improvement Grants under the 1820-
0620 collection) have been added to this Part D umbrella collection.
The 1820-0620 collection included a Q & A that is no longer relevant to
the program and has not been used for several years. Other than the Q &
A, there is no difference in the 1820-0620 collection and the 1820-0028
Part D umbrella collection. (3) Page B-8 of application package,
paragraph 3, includes a detailed description of the abstract that
applicants should include in the application.
This information collection is being submitted under the
Streamlined Clearance Process for Discretionary Grant Information
Collections (1890-0001). Therefore, the 30-day public comment period
notice will be the only public comment notice published for this
information collection.
