FY10 New Look Technical Assistance Grant Application Available

The New Look Project is a technical assistance project which provides fiscal, programmatic, and resource support to implement research-based program improvement efforts for special populations learners. The purpose of New Look is to assist career and technical educators in identifying, developing, and strengthening aspects of their programming for special populations CTE learners. For FY10, only Illinois postsecondary educational entities receiving Perkins funds are eligible applicants. All accepted applicants must be present at both the New Look Launch, Oct. 29, 2009, and the New Look Showcase Symposium, May 6, 2010.

The opening of the FY10 applications marks the start of the 8th year of the award-winning innovation-inducing New Look Project (originally named the NTO Look Project). Once again this year, the New Look model supports career and technical education programs with two levels of investment: the Innovation Award and Research Action Award. The Innovation Award allows applicants to apply for a level of financial support ranging from $500 to $1,500 depending on need and intent of project. The Research Action Award allows applicants to apply for a level of financial support from $1,500 to $3,500, depending on need and intent of project. Research Action Awards require an intensive self-assessment and thorough research to support the project activities. Due to the nature of this grant, a limited number will be awarded. Special consideration will be given to projects at either level with a secondary partnership.

Applications must be submitted via e-mail no later than September 9, 2009.
