Applicants will use their technical expertise and/or capacity to deliver services primarily through Web-based and other distance learning approaches either directly through or in coordination with the Resource Center (www.NationalService.gov/resources), the VISTA Campus (to be launched July 2008), the National Service Learning Clearinghouse (www.ServiceLearning.org) and any future CNCS on-line resources and delivery systems. Services of the Resource Center to be used by other Providers include the master training calendar, webinar technology, learning system, management of discussion lists, publication of eNewsletters, etc.
Applicants are requested to provide a comprehensive plan for providing services in the subject category for the program year October 1, 2008-September 30, 2009.

�� Regularly review, revise, remove/add information to the Resource Center library, databases, forms collection, etc., in the Provider’s area of expertise;
�� Collaborate with CNCS staff and other Providers as directed in the creation and/or delivery of joint products and services;
�� All applicants must present the capability to deliver face-to-face training if needed during the term of the agreement.
