Through PL 105-17, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the BIA is required to have a Comprehensive System of Personnel Development (CSPD) plan. A critical aspect of the plan calls for partnerships and collaboration with Tribally Controlled Community Colleges and other institutions of higher education to address teacher quality and personnel shortages in the twenty-three (23) states where BIA schools are located. Proposals may be written to address one or more of the following: Priority 1 -- Professional Development (1a) Development of AA degree programs in education, special education or early childhood for paraprofessionals.

OIEP reserves the right to make awards based on proposal content and the needs of specific geographic areas. Proposals should include a detailed description of the proposed objectives.
