ABSTRACT
This five-volume directory describes almost 1,200
discretionary grants and contracts supported by the Research to Practice
Division of the Office of Special Education Programs. The projects are
grouped into five sections representing the seven program areas of the newly
reauthorized Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Part D. This
volume, the first of the directory, describes projects concerning research,
innovation, and evaluation. The Research and Innovation program aims to
produce and advance knowledge to improve the practices of professionals and
others involved in providing services, and to improve educational results for
children with disabilities. The Studies and Evaluations program is designed
to assess the effectiveness of state and local efforts to provide a free,
appropriate public education to children with disabilities, and to provide
early intervention services to infants and toddlers with disabilities or who
are at-risk of developmental delays. The projects are grouped by the
competitions under which they were funded and include information on grant
number, title, project director, beginning and ending dates, and contact
information. An abstract describes the project's purposes, proposed methods,
and proposed products. Four indexes are provided: a project director index,
an organizational index, a state index, and a subject index.

INTRODUCTION
This directory, which is presented in five separately published sections, describes almost 1200
discretionary grants and contracts supported by the Research to Practice Division of the Office
of Special Education Programs, which administers the discretionary programs authorized by
the 1997Amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Some of the
projects were funded under the provisions of the original IDEA, but for the purposes of this di-
rectory they are grouped into five sections representing the seven program areas of the newly
authorized IDEA, Part D:
Research, Innovation and Evaluation (which covers two programs: Research and
1:
Innovation and Studies and Evaluations)
2: Personnel Preparation
3: Technical Assistance, Dissemination, and Parent Training (which covers two programs:
Technical Assistance and Dissemination and Parent Training and Information)
4: Technology and Media Services
State Improvement

This section of the directory, "Research, Innovation, and Evaluation," presents projects catego-
rized in the following two discretionary programs: Research and Innovation to Improve
Services and Results for Children with Disabilities, and Studies and Evaluations. The Re-
search and Innovation program aims to produce, and advance the use of, knowledge to im-
prove the services provided under IDEA, including the practices of professionals and others
involved in providing services to children with disabilities, and to improve educational results
for children with disabilities. The Studies and Evaluations program is designed to assess the
effectiveness of state and local efforts to provide a free appropriate public education to chil-
dren with disabilities, and to provide early intervention services to infants and toddlers with dis-
abilities and infants and toddlers who would be at risk of having substantial developmental
delays if early intervention services were not provided to them.
Within this section of the directory, the projects are grouped by the competitions under which
they were funded. Access to the project information is enhanced by several indexes, which in-
clude:
Project Director Index
Organization Index
State Index
Subject Index

Please note that an extra digit has been added to the OSEP grant number to reflect the decade in
which the gyant was awarded. For the 1990's, the digit 9 has been inserted after the second al-
phabetical character in each grant number. For example, H023B70074 is now H023B270074.
This directory is also accessible as a searchable database on the World Wide Web. The Uniform
