On Thursday, August 18, 2011 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. EST, the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) will host a prospective applicant conference call to address questions about the Add Us In Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA) for Cooperative Agreements. Applications will be accepted until Sept. 2.
Add Us In is a new initiative sponsored by the ODEP designed to identify and develop strategies to increase employment opportunities within the small business community for individuals with disabilities. Included within the small business community are targeted businesses that are owned and operated by minorities; lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals; women, veterans and people with disabilities.
Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis recently announced the availability of approximately $1.6 million in funding for the Add Us In initiative, which will fund up to three cooperative agreements with allotments ranging from $500,000 to $550,000 each.
