Abstract: The Impact Evaluation of
Response to Intervention (RtI) strategies
will inform the National Assessment of
IDEA 2004, and the choices of districts
and schools, by estimating the
differential impacts of strategies for
providing Tier 2 reading instruction to
at-risk first and second graders. ED has
awarded a contract to MDRC (in
partnership with SRI International and
Survey Research Management) to
conduct this study in 150 elementary
schools. This initial collection involves
the site recruitment. The resulting RtI
project will provide information that
policymakers and school administrators
can use to help identify students with
learning disabilities and improve
instruction provided to at-risk students.

provided to Alaska Native children and
adults. These projects may include
those activities authorized under section
7304(a)(2) and (3) of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965, as
amended (ESEA).
Note: The construction of facilities that
support the operation of Alaska Native
education programs will be a permissible
activity only if Congress specifically
authorizes the use of FY 2009 funds for that
purpose.
Priorities: This competition includes a
competitive preference priority and an
invitational priority. In accordance with
34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(iv), the competitive
preference priority is from section
7304(c) of the ESEA (20 U.S.C. 7544(c)).
The invitational priority is from the
notice of final discretionary grant
priorities for FY 2009, published in the
Federal Register on November 21, 2008
(73 FR 70627).
Competitive Preference Priority: For
FY 2009 and any subsequent year in
which we make awards based on the list
of unfunded applicants from this
competition, this priority is a
competitive preference priority. Under
34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i), we award an
additional five points to an application
that meets this priority.
This priority is:
The Secretary gives priority to
applications from Alaska Native
regional nonprofit organizations or
consortia that include at least one
Alaska Native regional nonprofit
organization. In order to receive a
competitive preference under this
priority, an application must provide
documentation supporting its claim that
it meets this priority.
Invitational Priority: For FY 2009 and
any subsequent year in which we make
awards from the list of unfunded
applicants from 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

II. Award Information

Estimated Available Funds: The
Administration's budget request for FY

applicants, including previous grantees
under the ANE program. The
Department will rank and fund two
groups of applicants separately: Novice
applicants will comprise one group, and
non-novice applicants will comprise the
second group. If we do not receive a
sufficient number of high quality
applications from novice applicants,
funds set aside for novice applicants
may be used to fund non-novice
applicants, including previous grantees
under the ANE program. Further
information regarding our review of
these two groups of applications,
including the definition of novice
applicant, is in section V. 2. of this
