Individuals With Disabilities Act Report Series: Presolicitation Notice: National Council on Disability Pre-Solicitation Notice of Funding OpportunityThe Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Report SeriesThe National Council on Disability (NCD) will seek proposals for a five report series on the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The findings in these reports primarily serve to assist policymakers, including the White House and Congress, with the insight needed to make policy decisions designed to improve educational outcomes for students with disabilities. The reports will also provide students with disabilities and those who support them, with an understanding of policy, legislation, and initiatives that impact their lives. The report series will examine the extent to which policymakers, federal agencies, and Congress have acted on NCD’s prior policy recommendations on improving IDEA implementation and enforcement. It will also examine and assess two areas of IDEA implementation not previously addressed by NCD. The reports will identify and describe current IDEA policies and practices in five specific areas, describe federal action taken, if any, that address NCD’s prior recommendations, assess whether the actions have been effective, and make further recommendations for reform where problems exist. The estimated contract period is 12 months. NCD will distribute its Individuals with Disabilities Act Report Series (IDEA Series) Notice of Funding Opportunity on April 21, 2016.
