TitleFunding Opportunity: Indian Education Professional Development
Body
From: OELA Newsline, March 9

Purpose of Program: The purposes of the Professional Development program
are to: (1) Increase the number of qualified Indian individuals in professions
that serve Indian people; (2) provide training to qualified Indian individuals to
become teachers, administrators, teacher aides, social workers, and ancillary
educational personnel; and (3) improve the skills of qualified Indian
individuals who serve in the education field. Activities may include, but are not
limited to, continuing programs, symposia, workshops, conferences, and
direct financial support.

Eligible Applicants: Eligible applicants for this program are an institution of
higher education, including an Indian institution of higher education; a State
or local educational agency, in consortium with an institution of higher
education; an Indian tribe or organization, in consortium with an institution of
higher education; and a Bureau-funded school. An application from a
consortium of eligible entities must meet the requirements of 34 CFR 75.127
through 75.129. The consortium agreement, signed by all parties, must be
submitted with the application in order to be considered as a consortium
application. Letters of support do not meet the consortium requirements. In
order to be considered an eligible entity, applicants, including institutions of
higher education, must be eligible to provide the level and type of degree
proposed in the application or must apply in consortium with an institution of
higher education that is eligible to grant the target degree. Applicants that
apply as an "Indian organization" must demonstrate in the application how
they meet all criteria of this term as defined in 34 CFR 263.3 in order to be
considered an eligible Indian organization. We will reject any application that
does not meet these requirements.
