including textbooks, in accessible media for visually impaired and
print-disabled students in elementary, secondary, postsecondary, and graduate
schools; and (5) provide cultural experiences through appropriate nonprofit
organizations. 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.

products. Four indexes

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 1997 Amendments 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
directory they are grouped into five separate sections representing the seven program areas of
the newly authorized IDEA, Part D:
1: Research, Innovation and Evaluation (which covers two programs: Research and
Innovation and Studies and Evaluations)
2: Personnel Preparation
3: Technical Assistance, Dissemination, and Parent Training (which covers two programs-
Technical Assistance and Dissemination and Pannt Training and Information)
4: Technology and Media Services
State Improvement
5:
This section of the directory, "Technology and Media Services," presents projects that aim to:
(1) support educational media activities that are designed to be of educational value to children
with disabilities; (2) provide video description, open captioning, or closed captioning of televi-
sion programs, videos, or educational materials; (3) distribute captioned and described videos
or educational materials; (4) provide free educational materials, including textbooks, in accessi-
ble media for visually impaired and print-disabled students in elementary, secondary, postsec-
ondary, and graduate schools; and (5) provide cultural experiences through appropriate
nonprofit organizations, such as the National Theatre of the Deaf.
Within this section of the directory, the projects are grouped by the competitions under which
they were originally funded. Access to the project information is enhanced by several indexes,
which include:
Project Director Index
Organization Index
State Index
Subject Index
'7
Please note that an extra digit has been added to the OSEP grant numbers to reflect the decade in
which the grant 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
Resource Locator is http://www.cec.sped.orglosep/search.htm
If any errors are found in this material, please report them to the ERIC/OSEP Special Project
([email protected]) so that future editions of the directory and the database will be as accu-
rate as possible.
