CDSPS' three foci are research, training, and dissemination. This Sourcebook is a component of the dissemination focus. The purpose of this Sourcebook is to provide information about multicultural access to Federal projects, programs, grants, research and career enhancement opportunities for individuals, institutions, and agencies. The Sourcebook is divided into three sections: Section I contains a description of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services projects and programs, (including the Office of Special Education Programs, Rehabilitation Services Administration, and the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research). Section II highlights profiles of minority programs in various Federal agencies. This section also contains profiles of various human resource, development, minority women's and persons’ with disabilities programs available through the National Science Foundation for development, human resources, minority women and persons with disabilities. Section III contains information on multicultural diversity resources. This section also contains profiles of various programs for professional development, human resources and minority women and individuals with disabilities offered through the National Science Foundation. 5 SECTION I DESCRIPTION OF THE OFFICE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS The three major objectives of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) and of the Secretary of the United States Department of Education, are to (1) support programs that assist in educating children, (2) provide for rehabilitation of youth and adults with disabilities, and (3) support research to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities. OSERS impacts on special education, rehabilitation services and research by directing, coordinating and recommending policy. OSERS administers programs designed to facilitate the development and independence of persons with disabilities. It does this through supporting opportunities for independent living and delivery of vocational rehabilitation services. Additionally, OSERS administers funds for rehabilitation and special education research, demonstration projects, and dissemination of information about services, laws, and programs affecting individuals with disabilities. The programs administered by OSERS include the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), and the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). Each of OSERS' three program areas serves a specialized function which supports the OSERS objectives. Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) OSEP administers programs ensuring free appropriate public education for children, youth, and adults with disabilities. It monitors programs to improve and expand services to special populations, administers grants to state education agencies to support state and local services to individuals with disabilities (from preschool through adult levels) and supports integrated programs for persons with severely disabling conditions. OSEP also administers personnel preparation programs which train educators, and conducts research to improve methods of instructing or serving special education populations. OSEP's other areas of responsibilities include developing and disseminating information about model post secondary programs for individuals with disabilities and funding projects to increase the high quality of instructional media, materials and technology available to children and youth with disabilities. There are nineteen (19) specific grant programs administered under OSEP. The majority of the grant programs accept proposals from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other culturally diverse institutions or agencies. The following is a brief description of each of the 19 programs, including information on who may apply and a contact telephone number. 6 OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR - OSEP (202) 205-5507 (VOICE) (202) 260-0416 (FAX) OFFICE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS PROGRAM 1.
