Teacher residencies funded by this grant may support residents earning an endorsement in a state-identified shortage area (Appendix A). The Teacher Residency Planning Grant must support the LEA-IHE in developing a program that addresses the preparation requirements for the target teaching endorsement as well as preparation for teaching within the specific district/school context where the resident is placed. Sample activities that may be funded through the Teacher Residency Planning Grant are: i. Planning and development of a new, collaborative LEA-IHE teacher residency program for teacher residents in a state-identified shortage area (Appendix A), including developing the LEA’s capacity to effectively offer a teacher residency program and support a cohort model for residents within its local school(s); or ii. Planning and development of the expansion an existing LEA-IHE collaborative site-based internship for teacher candidates into a teacher residency program in a state-identified shortage area Section 2301 of PL 114-95 II ESEA AS AMENDED BY ESSA indicates that these funds are subject to supplement, not supplant restricting indirect costs to 8% (Federal Code of Regulations 34 CFR 76.564). Federal Code of Regulations 34 CFR; 34 CFR 76.563 – 34 CFR 76.564 Department of Education Restricted Indirect Cost Rates Programs Covered and Restricted Indirect Cost Rate Formula. § 76.563 Restricted indirect cost rate—programs covered. • Sections 76.564 through 76.569 apply to programs with a statutory requirement prohibiting the use of Federal funds to supplant non-Federal funds, and to subgrants under these programs. § 76.564 Restricted indirect cost rate formula. (a) An indirect cost rate for a grant covered by §§ 76.563 or 75.563 is determined by the following formula: Restricted indirect cost rate = (General management costs + Fixed costs) ÷ (Other expenditures). (b) General management costs, fixed costs, and other expenditures must be determined under §§ 76.565 through 76.567. (c) Under the programs covered by § 76.563, a grantee or subgrantee that is not a State or local government agency— (1) Must use a negotiated restricted indirect cost rate computed under paragraph (a) of this section or cost allocation plan that complies with the formula in paragraph (a) of this section; or (2) May elect to use an indirect cost rate of 8 percent of the modified total direct costs (MTDC) base if the grantee or subgrantee does not have a negotiated restricted indirect cost rate. MTDC is defined in 2 CFR 200.1. If the Secretary determines that the grantee or subgrantee would have a lower rate as calculated under paragraph (a) of this section, the lower rate must be used for the affected program. (3) If the grantee has established a threshold for equipment that is lower than the amount specified in the Uniform Guidance, the grantee must use that threshold to exclude equipment from the MTDC base. (4) For purposes of the MTDC base and application of the 8 percent rate, MTDC includes up to the amount specified in the definition of MTDC in the Uniform Guidance of each subaward, each year. (d) Indirect costs that are unrecovered as a result of these restrictions may not be charged directly, used to satisfy matching or cost-sharing requirements, or charged to another Federal award.

Expenditure reports to be submitted on quarterly basis via IWAS. Programmatic reports are submitted on semiannual basis via IWAS. Final programmatic report due 30 days after completion of grant period.

In accordance with the provisions of 2 CFR 200, Subpart F - Audit Requirements, nonfederal entities that expend financial assistance of $750,000 or more in Federal awards will have a single or a program-specific audit conducted for that year. Non-Federal entities that expend less than $750,000 a year in Federal awards are exempt from Federal audit requirements for that year, except as noted in 2 CFR 200.503 Nonfederal entities that expend financial assistance less than $500,000 in a fiscal year must keep records available for review or audit by appropriate officials of the Federal government.
