Grantees will receive intensive technical assistance and participate in a rigorous evaluation. In addition, they will participate in and help structure national DOL activities meant to identify and disseminate lessons learned.

It is anticipated that $2.3 million will be available for funding projects covered by this solicitation. There will be two types of projects funded under the solicitation-locally-led projects and state-led multi-area projects. The maximum grant award will not exceed $50,000 for a single Local Workforce Investment Board (Local Board) or $100,000 for a regional consortium under the locally-led projects (approximately 15 grants), and will not exceed $150,000 for the State-led multi-area projects (approximately 10 grants awarded), for a period of 24 months from the date of execution.
