received $9,000 from the University of Alabama as a sub-award from the Mellon Foundation

The team was awarded a total of $2,170,524.00. The goal of the project is to establish innovative and flexible evidence-based training pathways for knowledge and skill enrichment related to the provision of Pre-ETS for youth with disabilities by vocational rehabilitation counselors. The U.S. RSA is a program component of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services under the U.S. Department of Education.
