Federal Funds

BodyViz is eligible to be funded through several federal funding sources including Title I, Perkins and e-rate rebates, and the CARES Act.

Title I:

Title I provides financial assistance to local educational agencies and schools with high numbers or high percentages of students from low-income families to ensure that all students meet challenging state academic standards. Every year $14 billion in Title I funds are distributed to schools across the country. Schools with 40% or more of children in poverty can allocate title I funding through a school-wide program.

 

Perkins Career and Technical Education Act:

Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act funding focuses on the academic and technical achievement of CTE students, particularly in Health Careers. The current funding mission mentions specifically simulation of real work environments, which aligns with the BodyViz learning experience.

 

E-rate Rebate:

Federal e-rate Universal Service Fund e-rate BEAR (Billed Entity Applicant Reimbursement) rebates are another possible avenue for BodyViz funding as the rebates are not limited to infrastructure and can be spent on anything approved by the e-rate coordinator. An institution should check with their e-rate coordinator for possible leverage of e-rate rebates.

 

Investing in Education Fund:

The Investing in Education Fund provides competitive grants for schools that show an improvement in student performance. These grants are meant to allow for schools to discover what best encourages student success.
