Program Information
The purposes of the Personnel Development to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities program are to (1) help address State- identified shortages and needs for personnel preparation in special education and early intervention, including infants and toddlers, and youth with disabilities; and (2) ensure that those personnel have the necessary skills and knowledge, derived from practices that have been determined through scientifically based research, to be successful in serving those children. 

The purpose of the Personnel Preparation of Special Education, Early Intervention, and Related Services Personnel (84.325K) competition is to prepare and increase the number of personnel who have the necessary qualifications to serve children with disabilities. Under this absolute priority, ED will fund grantees that use evidence-based strategies to prepare scholars in special education, early intervention, and related services at the bachelor’s degree, certification, master’s degree, educational specialist degree, or clinical doctoral degree levels to serve in a variety of settings, including natural environments (the home and community settings in which children with and without disabilities participate), early learning programs, child care, classrooms, and schools.

Executive Summary 
The Public Diplomacy Section at the U.S. Mission to Germany invites proposals under its Partnership Program to strengthen the transatlantic relationship between the United States and Germany. As the United States commemorates the 250th anniversary of its founding (Freedom 250), this program supports forward-looking initiatives that highlight the enduring strength of the bilateral partnership and advance shared democratic principles.

The Partnership Program seeks innovative projects that deepen mutual understanding, foster collaboration, and engage key German audiences in meaningful dialogue with the United States. In recognition of the breadth of the transatlantic relationship, proposals are encouraged in areas central to U.S.–German cooperation, including collaboration in sports, science, and space; efforts to counter anti-Semitism and support freedom of speech; and initiatives that measure and amplify the long-term impact of exchange programs.

Programs focused on science, technology, and space may highlight U.S.–German cooperation in innovation, research, and exploration as a shared frontier advancing knowledge and partnership. Sports diplomacy initiatives may leverage major global sporting events to promote leadership, collaboration, and teamwork while advancing common goals. Projects addressing anti-Semitism and freedom of expression should combat hate, protect constitutionally protected speech, promote open dialogue, and strengthen institutional resilience. Proposals that assess and highlight the long- term impact of exchange programs and sister city partnerships are encouraged to demonstrate the lasting value of transatlantic engagement.

All projects must feature substantial U.S. elements, clearly define and prioritize German audiences, and present a strategic implementation plan. Competitive proposals will demonstrate measurable objectives designed to increase awareness, shape attitudes, strengthen skills, or build sustainable networks that advance U.S.–German cooperation.

Each application must include a robust monitoring and evaluation plan outlining how outputs and outcomes will be tracked and assessed. Successful programs will contribute directly to strengthening the transatlantic partnership and reinforcing the United States as a forward-looking, reliable partner guided by strong institutional principles.

Introduction
A growing body of evidence suggests that micro- and nano-plastics (MNPs) harm human health. The Systematic Targeting Of MicroPlastics (STOMP) program seeks to better quantify MNPs in humans; understand the mechanisms of MNP deposition; and, ultimately, improve human health by developing means to limit uptake and remove MNPs from the body.
