Individuals Who Are Deaf-Blind; Notice Inviting Applications for New
Awards for Fiscal Year (FY) 1995
Purpose of Program: The purpose of the Training of Interpreters for
Individuals Who Are Deaf and Individuals Who Are Deaf-Blind program is
to establish interpreter training programs or to assist ongoing
programs to train a sufficient number of skilled interpreters to meet
the communication needs of individuals who are deaf and individuals who
are deaf-blind.
Eligible Applicants: Public and private nonprofit agencies and
organizations, including institutions of higher education, are eligible
for assistance under this program. Eligibility for this particular
competition is restricted to those entities in Rehabilitation Services
Administration (RSA) Region IV, which includes the following States:
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Tennessee.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 5, 1994, the Secretary published
in the Federal Register a notice inviting applications under the
Training of Interpreters for Individuals Who Are Deaf and Individuals
Who Are Deaf-Blind program (59 FR 62511). The intent was to provide an
award in each of the 10 RSA regions.
Two applications were received from RSA Region IV, and neither
application was found acceptable. The Secretary believes that, by
reopening the competition in this region, improved applications will be
submitted. Also, the unsuccessful applicants from the December
competition have been provided with peer review comments so that they
may strengthen their proposals and resubmit them for consideration with
other applications that may be submitted in response to this notice.
