Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The TPDP provides grants to enable consortia
described in section 204(a) of Perkins III to carry out tech-prep
education projects authorized by section 207 of Perkins III that
involve the location of a secondary school on the site of a community
college, a business as a member of the consortium, and the voluntary
participation of secondary school students. Following an initial
recruitment period, funded projects will enroll a new student cohort in
each year of the project and will continue to support each previous
TPDP student cohort.
Priority: Under this competition we are particularly interested in
applications that address the following priority.
Invitational Priority: For this competition, this priority is an
invitational priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(1), we do not give an
application that meets this invitational priority a competitive or
absolute preference over other applications.
This priority is:
Student Choice: This priority encourages applications that propose
to implement a TPDP project in a geographic area in which a large
proportion or number of public high schools have been identified for
improvement, corrective action, or restructuring under Title I, Part A
of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended
(ESEA), to provide an opportunity for students to attend a school that
is not in need of improvement.
Requirements: Additional requirements for all projects funded under
this competition are in the notice of final requirements and selection
criteria, published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register.
Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 2376.
Applicable Regulations: (a) The Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in 34 CFR parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 80,
81, 82, 84, 85, 86, 97, 98, and 99. (b) the requirements and selection
criteria in the notice of final requirements and selection criteria
published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register.
Note: The regulations in 34 CFR part 79 apply to all applicants
except federally recognized Indian tribes.
Note: The regulations in 34 CFR part 86 apply to institutions of
higher education only.
II. Award Information
Type of Award: Discretionary grant.
Estimated Available Funds: $9,838,177.
Estimated Range of Awards: $700,000 to $800,000 for the 60-month
project period.
Estimated Average Size of Awards: $759,000
Estimated Number of Awards: 13.
Note: The Department is not bound by any estimates in this
Notice.
Project Period: 60 months. Applicants under this competition are
required to provide detailed budget information for each year of the
proposed project and for the total grant. The Department will negotiate
funding levels for each 12-month period of the grant at the time of the
award. Grants under this competition will be made from both the FY 2004
and the FY 2005 TPDP appropriations. The FY 2005 appropriation for
TPDP, although already enacted, will not be available to the Secretary
for obligation until July 1, 2005. Therefore, partial TPDP grant awards
will be made with funds from the FY 2004 TPDP appropriation, following
the selection of grantees. The remainder of the TPDP grant awards will
be made as supplemental awards to grantees on or soon after July 1,
2005, when funds from the FY 2005 TPDP appropriation become available
for obligation by the Secretary.
Note: The Secretary has concluded that five-year awards are
necessary for TPDP grantees to fully meet the statutory purposes of
section 207 of Perkins III and the requirements of this notice. By
definition, tech-prep programs combine at least two years of
secondary education with a minimum of two years of postsecondary
education in a nonduplicative, sequential course of study, and
result in the attainment of a postsecondary degree or certificate.
As outlined in this notice, five-year funding will: (a) Allow funded
projects to engage in a lengthy recruitment effort and meet their
enrollment goals; (b) enable the first cohort of students to
complete the full four years of the tech-prep program and attain the
necessary postsecondary degree or certificate; and (c) enable
subsequent cohorts of students to complete a significant portion of
the tech-prep program, thus increasing the likelihood that they will
persist in their efforts to attain the necessary postsecondary
degree or certificate. In addition, by enabling funded projects to
conduct the full four-year tech-prep program, five-year funding will
allow grantees and the Department to evaluate the
[[Page 19743]]
effectiveness of the funded programs more thoroughly.
III. Eligibility Information
1. Eligible Applicants: To be eligible for funding under the TPDP,
a consortium must include at least one member in each of the following
three categories:
(1) An LEA, an intermediate educational agency, an area vocational
and technical education school serving secondary school students, or a
secondary school funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs;
(2) (a) A nonprofit institution of higher education that offers a
two-year associate degree, two-year certificate, or two-year
postsecondary apprenticeship program, or (b) a proprietary institution
of higher education that offers a two-year associate degree program;
and
(3) A business.
Under the provisions of section 204(a)(1) of Perkins III, to be
eligible for consortium membership both nonprofit and proprietary
institutions of higher education must be qualified as institutions of
higher education pursuant to section 102 of HEA, including institutions
receiving assistance under the Tribally Controlled College or
University Assistance Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) and tribally
controlled postsecondary vocational and technical institutions.
In addition, nonprofit institutions of higher education are
eligible only if they are not prohibited from receiving assistance
under HEA, title IV, part B (20 U.S.C. 1071 et seq.), pursuant to the
provisions of section 435(a)(3) of HEA (20 U.S.C. 1083(a)). Proprietary
institutions of higher education are eligible only if they are not
subject to a default management plan required by the Secretary.
Under the provisions of section 204(a)(2) of Perkins III, consortia
also may include one or more: (1) Institutions of higher education that
award baccalaureate degrees; (2) employer organizations; or (3) labor
organizations.
Note: Eligible consortia seeking to apply for funds should read
and follow the regulations in 34 CFR 75.127 through 75.129, which
apply to group applications.
2. Cost Sharing or Matching: This competition does not involve cost
sharing or matching but does involve supplement-not-supplant funding
provisions.

concerning the content of the application, together with the forms you
must submit, are in the application package for this competition.
3. Submission Dates and Times:
Applications Available: April 14, 2005.
Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: May 31, 2005.
Applications for grants under this competition may be submitted
electronically using the Electronic Grant Application System (e-
Application) accessible through the Department's e-Grants system, or in
paper format by mail or hand delivery. For information (including dates
and times) about how to submit your application electronically, or by
mail or hand delivery, please refer to section IV. 6. Other Submission
Requirements in this notice.
We do not consider an application that does not comply with the
deadline requirements.
Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: July 28, 2005.
4. Intergovernmental Review: This program is subject to Executive
order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR part 79. Information about
Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs under Executive Order
12372 is in the application package for this competition.
5. Funding Restrictions: We reference regulations outlining funding
restrictions in the Applicable Regulations section of this notice. In
addition, some specific categories of allowable TPDP spending and some
specific funding restrictions apply to TPDP projects:
Allowable Costs
Allowable activities and expenditures for TPDP projects include,
but are not limited to: Recruitment and enrollment of students; staff
hiring; updating of articulation agreements; curriculum revision;
professional development for secondary and postsecondary faculty,
counselors, and administrators; and development and maintenance of
business and industry partnerships. In addition, section 207(b)(2) of
Perkins III specifies that TPDP projects may provide summer internships
at a business for students or teachers.
Section 207 of Perkins III gives applicants latitude for
innovation. Subject to applicable funding restrictions, section
204(c)(3)(B) of Perkins III authorizes tech-prep programs that allow
students to concurrently complete both secondary and postsecondary
courses, and simultaneously satisfy requirements for a high school
diploma and an associate degree or other postsecondary credential.
Unallowable Costs
(1) Supplanting. In accordance with section 311(a) of Perkins III,
funds under this program may not be used to supplant non-Federal funds
used to carry out vocational and technical education activities and
tech-prep activities. Further, the prohibition against supplanting also
means that grantees are required to use their negotiated restricted
indirect cost rate under this program. (34 CFR 75.563.)
Because of the statutory prohibition against supplanting, we
caution applicants not to plan to use Federal funds awarded under
section 207 of Perkins III to replace non-Federal funding that is
already, or that otherwise would be, available for support of the TPDP
projects to be assisted. Further, we are concerned that TPDP funds may
be used to replace Federal student financial aid. We wish to highlight
the fact that the statute does not authorize us to fund projects that
serve primarily as entities through which students may apply for and
receive tuition and other financial assistance.
(2) Construction. Under Sec. 75.533 of EDGAR (34 CFR 75.533), TPDP
grants cannot be used for the acquisition of real property or
construction because Perkins III does not specifically permit use of
TPDP funds for these purposes.
(3) Articulation Agreements with Four-Year Institutions. Under the
provisions of section 207(d) of Perkins III, tech-prep articulation
agreements with four-year institutions cannot be supported with TPDP
funds awarded under section 207 of Perkins III. However, articulation
agreements with four-year institutions can be developed using other
resources by applicants who wish to establish ``open-ended'' tech-
[[Page 19744]]
prep career pathways. Also, the inclusion in TPDP consortia of
institutions of higher education that award baccalaureate degrees is
allowable under section 204(a)(2)(A) of Perkins III.
