Our Grants
The Saluki spirit is one of learning, caring, and giving and that is readily apparent with our many externally-funded research and service projects. We collaborate with academic units and departments across campus as well as with schools, government entities and others, providing valuable services and information to schools and communities wherever research, technical assistance, innovation, and help are needed. Millions of dollars in external grant funding from private foundations and state and federal agencies enable us to change lives for the better.
Behavior Assessment Training
The Special Education Behavior Assessment Training (BAT) project will provide comprehensive, professional learning for special education personnel on culturally responsive Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) practices and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) for students across all grade levels. Districts identified with a disproportionate rate of suspension and expulsion for students with disabilities will receive training and support on FBAs and BIPs. State-level guidelines will be developed, per 105 ILCS5/14-8.05, to address culturally responsive, evidence-based behavior interventions for students across all grade levels. This project is funded by the Illinois State Board of Education through an IDEA Part B Federal Grant. Learn More
