      Dear Colleague,

      The purpose of this email is to inform you that the Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitative Services proposes two priorities under the Capacity Building Program for Traditionally Underserved Populations.  The first would establish a new vocational rehabilitation (VR) training institute for the preparation of personnel in the American Indian Vocational Rehabilitation Services (AIVRS) program. The second would encourage applications submitted through a collaborative arrangement between a four-year institution of higher education (IHE) and a two-year community college or tribal college. The Assistant Secretary may use these priorities for competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2014 and later years.   The purpose of this action is to improve the provision of VR services to, and the employment outcomes of, American Indians with disabilities.  The Department invites you to submit comments regarding these proposed priorities.

      A Notice of Proposed Priority (NPP) published in the Federal Register on Wednesday, June 11, 2014 and is listed as:
