Offer to write the application and agree to take on a heavy administrative role in the project. 14:13:30 From Esther Ratajeski to Everyone: So. . . could a Part B CIL be one of the "other partners"? 14:14:43 From Bill Holmes to Everyone: Richard - That's our plan as a network. Just very disappointing to see no interest from either. Wish we had more leverage. Thanks! 14:14:50 From Dr. FranSha Anderson to Everyone: In regards to that, the CILs should be included in that planning, correct? 14:15:18 From Sandra Breitengross Bitter (she/her), ILRU to Everyone: FAQ Link: https://ncrtm.ed.gov/grant-info?mn=O_811o8tnY4MaG2lExjhGrTLIRo-tV39_7BY.kz3X948gUHtnBAD4 14:16:17 From Richard Petty to Everyone: To Dr. Anderson: Yes! They should. Absolutely. 14:17:12 From Jill Jacobs to Hosts and panelists: It does not even require MOUS be in place beforehand. 14:17:19 From Lisa Bass to Everyone: We are hiring someone to write the grant for them. 14:17:28 From Dawn Lyons to Everyone: Youth Wellness/Transition Centers ðŸĪžðŸžI'm going to suggest that when we all meet later today. 14:17:32 From Dr. FranSha Anderson to Everyone: ILRU to write the grant 14:17:52 From Dr. FranSha Anderson to Everyone: Good question Brenda!!!! 14:17:53 From Jane Johnson to Everyone: We have offered grant writing assistance in Florida. 14:18:43 From Dr. FranSha Anderson to Everyone: And only offer the centers $40,000 14:19:04 From Erica Mcfadden to Hosts and panelists: VR will look for intentionality in the application 14:19:11 From Erica Mcfadden to Hosts and panelists: They will look at the budget for example 14:19:33 From Lisa Bass to Everyone: So, one center could opt out? 14:19:43 From Carl Berry to Everyone: How can we get a list of entities that participated in RSA's announcement webinar? 14:19:58 From Dr. FranSha Anderson to Everyone: NOOO!

This is an awful quick turnaround to try to work with two state agencies. 14:24:49 From Dawn Lyons to Everyone: I think the biggest divide in Nevada will be getting VR on board with IL philosophy and creating a model that is truly integrated. 14:25:15 From Lisa Bass to Everyone: Dawn, Yes. Here too. 14:26:53 From Dr. FranSha Anderson to Everyone: Good question Bill! 14:29:30 From Erica Mcfadden to Everyone: I don't know 14:29:48 From Erica Mcfadden to Everyone: There is a cap of 75% on subawards 14:30:39 From Lisa Bass to Everyone: I would also like to know the official answer 14:31:03 From Tonya Lewis to Everyone: Can I get a link for more information on this grant? I am late getting on. Or is someone on here that can help me with? Tonya Lewis TCIL Rolla, Mo. 14:31:24 From Tonya Lewis to Everyone: tneal52@yahoo.com 14:31:46 From Sandra Breitengross Bitter (she/her), ILRU to Everyone: FAQ Link: https://ncrtm.ed.gov/grant-info?mn=O_811o8tnY4MaG2lExjhGrTLIRo-tV39_7BY.kz3X948gUHtnBAD4 14:32:49 From Patrick Reinhart to Everyone: Is there any chance the due date can be pushed back at all. This is a large, complex grant with rather short notice with lots of questions to answer. 14:32:57 From Jeremy Maxand to Everyone: October 1 14:33:25 From Michael Leyva to Everyone: I apologize for joining late. Is there a minimum/ maximum amount for each grant award? 14:33:57 From Sharon Finney to Everyone: Link to grant information at https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/04/05/2023-07204/applications-for-new-awards-disability-innovation-fund-pathways-to-partnerships-innovative-model 14:34:59 From Brooke Wilson to Everyone: Question: When would these funds start and during which period are they to be expended? Response: The 84.421E Pathways to Partnerships grants period of performance is from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2028. 14:35:29 From Kimberly Meck to Everyone: Its the "talking them into it" that is proving VERY difficult. 14:35:58 From Tonya Lewis to Everyone: So are you saying that all CIL's approach as one? And where do we start with this? 14:36:43 From Lisa Bass to Everyone: yes, alaska 14:37:34 From Erica Mcfadden to Lisa Bass and all panelists: Great job Lisa!! I'm so glad they are open now! 14:38:33 From Lisa Bass to Hosts and panelists: Fingers crossed Erica. We are trying the department of education. This information that I am getting today will hopefully make things easier for them. Thank you for this webinar and the support. 14:38:59 From Kimberly Meck to Everyone: The think that worries me is that if we can't get our state to agree to even apply, then we would not be considered for potential additional funding because the announcement states that they will use the unfunded applications to review for further funding. 14:39:16 From Erica Mcfadden to Lisa Bass and all panelists: We want this to work as much as you all do. Just let us know whenever support is needed. 14:39:26 From Patrick Reinhart to Everyone: Lisa, call me after this.--Patrick Reinhart, 907-301-0728. I am working on this with dept. of ed. 14:39:29 From Anne Creekmore to Everyone: Schools should start transition from Kindergarten to prepare parents and then at 10 start transition with the students. 14 was too old and then when changed to 16, that is ridiculous. 14:39:29 From Lisa Bass to Everyone: Kimberley Meck: That is our fear too 14:40:01 From Annette Tashiro to Everyone: Yes, thank you Jill! 14:40:17 From Lisa Bass to Everyone: Will do Patrick. Are you working with Michael as well? 14:40:22 From Erica Graser-Gates (She/Her) ARKANSAS Ms. and Miss Arkansas Whee to Hosts and panelists: Absolutely Agree! 14:40:34 From Erica Graser-Gates (She/Her) ARKANSAS Ms. and Miss Arkansas Whee to Hosts and panelists: Thank You 😊 14:40:52 From Patrick Reinhart to Everyone: Alaska is a an Employment first state and that was the intention all along, ask the question of every child with a disability at early age "what do you want to be when you grow up. 14:41:15 From Sharon Finney to Everyone: The recording and transcript from today's discussion will be available within 48-hours on the ILRU website at https://www.ilru.org/training/peer-peer-let-s-talk-about-strategies-for-new-disability-innovation-fund-dif-pathways 14:41:32 From KELLY PELONG to Everyone: Echoing the concerns as others that have posted--can't even get our State to apply so CILs lose out 14:41:43 From Sandra Breitengross Bitter (she/her), ILRU to Everyone: Here is the email address to send questions: 84.421E@ed.gov 14:41:56 From Patrick Reinhart to Hosts and panelists: still the question, any chance the powes to be can push the grant deadline back 14:42:14 From Dawn Lyons to Everyone: Our DOE is doing the heavy lifting in Nevada 14:42:15 From Kimberly Meck to Everyone: I love the idea that they are pushing us to collaborate with state agencies but it is nearly impossible for states who have no pre-established relationships. The deadline is really geared more towards those states that already have relationships. It is extremely biased to states that work well together already. 14:42:26 From Carl Berry to Everyone: I will! 14:43:09 From Kimberly Meck to Everyone: Great ideas Jill but there is SO LITTLE TIME left! 14:43:46 From Erica Mcfadden to Everyone: Where there is a will, there is a way, Kimberly! 14:44:19 From Judy Telge to Everyone: Statewide applications with several entities would require more admin and less money for each of the partners. Perhaps regionalizing in larger states could be considered for representation (north, south, east, west or rural and urban). In that case would competitive aps from subcontractors be required? or is that up to the statewide entity how that's happening? 14:44:58 From Erica Mcfadden to KELLY PELONG and all panelists: Kelly, which state are you? 14:45:46 From KELLY PELONG to Hosts and panelists: Michigan 14:45:54 From Brooke Wilson to Everyone: Max - 10 million I have heard 14:46:28 From Brooke Wilson to Everyone: Do we really think 30 states will apply? 14:46:29 From Rochelle Miller to Everyone: We are applying for $7m, but over 5 years and divided amongst our very large state, it's not a lot of funding. 14:46:53 From Kimberly Meck to Everyone: At this point, CILs have not been able to convince WA state to apply. 14:47:05 From Stacy Morse to Hosts and panelists: Erica- Missouri VR is not applying because they have existing grants and lack capacity. 14:48:24 From Erica Mcfadden to Stacy Morse and all panelists: Hi Stacy. Have you connected with a local education agency and approached the state education agency? 14:49:31 From Stacy Morse to Hosts and panelists: Hi Yes. Our VR is under DESE. 14:49:57 From Lisa Bass to Everyone: Thank you Erica! 14:50:00 From Patrick Reinhart to Everyone: All these discussions, pivoting , etc take time and I am just afraid we don't have the time to get it done now. 14:50:59 From Kimberly Meck to Everyone: Agreed Patrick. 14:51:48 From Dawn Lyons to Everyone: Hoping I can convince all parties to open Youth wellness/transition centers! 14:52:45 From Anne Creekmore to Everyone: Great idea and train teachers to do transition better. 14:53:26 From Jackie Pacha to Everyone: Lots of gap filling for foster youth specifically 3-13 with PTSD. We've been approached by a few entities about our ability to help with this. 14:53:27 From Dawn Lyons to Everyone: have resources available (mental health, mobility, etc..) in a convenient place where students can get to after school 14:54:49 From Jeremy Maxand to Everyone: Driver training program in partnership with VR and State Department of Ed 14:54:53 From Patrick Reinhart to Everyone: we want to send paid pwd's into schools to ask that question of students in sped, "what do you want to be when you grow up" , and involve many in skills in leadership training utilizing recreation and outdoor pursuits, and creating pipeline to VR at young age 14:55:04 From Brooke Wilson to Everyone: So a positive we have already got out of this opportunity, All of our CILs came together and developed a logic model to develop a youth initiative that we do not really have, so far no one to apply - however they would like to continue working on the logic model, exploring other funding opportunities beyond this grant. 14:55:14 From Paula McElwee (she, her), ILRU to Everyone: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/04/05/2023-07204/applications-for-new-awards-disability-innovation-fund-pathways-to-partnerships-innovative-model 14:55:51 From Karen Gridley to Everyone: Thank you for this information. I have to go to another meeting but appreciate your time. 14:56:42 From Kimberly Meck to Everyone: I already sent an email to RSA asking for more time! 14:57:08 From Jared Kendall to Everyone: We want to start a program that start in middle school to better help students to exercise self-determination in their choices for work in the future. The program would hopefully support them through high school establishing the skills needed to move into the workforce. 14:57:14 From Patrick Reinhart to Everyone: I will too right now.... 14:57:21 From Sandra Breitengross Bitter (she/her), ILRU to Everyone: 84.421E@ed.gov 14:58:26 From Tiana Ranjo to Everyone: Our CIL has a newly renovated building but is bareboned and unfurnished. The building is intended to bring our local disability network to come together but would be interested in planning with our SVRA and SEA to use funds to furnish this building so it can be a one-stop place to provide transition services 14:58:28 From Patrick Reinhart to Hosts and panelists: I want to say hi to Richard Petty. Been awhile. Be well- Patrick Reinhart 14:58:38 From Stacy Morse to Hosts and panelists: thank you so much. 14:59:07 From Dr. FranSha Anderson to Hosts and panelists: Can someone help us in knowing the difference in the two grants mentioned?
