Opportunity Summary:
The Rehabilitation Capacity Building for Traditionally Underserved Populations program (Capacity Building for Minority Entities), CFDA 84.315D, is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to strengthen rehabilitation-related services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended). The central aim is to improve the quality and effectiveness of services, with a particular emphasis on better serving individuals from minority backgrounds. The program does this by funding projects that carry out training, research, technical assistance, and other related capacity-building activities that can measurably enhance how rehabilitation services are delivered and how well they reach historically underserved communities.
A key policy driver behind this opportunity is Section 21 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 718), which highlights the importance of increasing the participation of "minority entities" in federally funded rehabilitation activities and building their ability to plan, manage, and implement high-quality work under the Act. In practical terms, that means this grant is oriented toward expanding the skills, infrastructure, partnerships, and operational capacity of eligible organizations so they can play a stronger role in rehabilitation initiatives and improve outcomes for underserved populations.
For FY 2010, the Department anticipated making about five awards, supported by an estimated total funding amount of $1,400,000. The maximum award amount (ceiling) listed for an individual grant is $300,000. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible to organizations that may not have significant unrestricted resources to contribute as a match.
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of public and nonprofit entities. The listing includes state governments; county, city/township, and special district governments; federally recognized tribal governments; tribal organizations that are not federally recognized governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education within that nonprofit category). The notice also states that, for a specified priority (Priority 2), eligible applicants include a state or a public or private nonprofit agency or organization, such as an institution of higher education or an Indian Tribe. Because eligibility can hinge on the specific priority and definitions used in the official notice, applicants are expected to confirm details directly in the Federal Register application notice.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The process involves entering application data directly into an online system that saves information to a database, and the announcement explicitly notes that applicants cannot submit an application by emailing an electronic copy to the Department. For this funding cycle, applications were made available on April 26, 2010, with a deadline for transmittal of June 10, 2010, and an archive date of July 10, 2010. The funding opportunity number associated with this competition is ED-GRANTS-042610-006.
The announcement repeatedly emphasizes that the published synopsis is not a substitute for the official Federal Register notice. Applicants are directed to consult the full notice for the complete set of requirements, including priorities, performance measures, any pre-application guidance, formatting and submission rules, and program contact details. For access issues related to the full announcement, the notice lists Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin) at 202-245-6140 and julius.cotton@ed.gov. The program manager contact is Ellen Chesley at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 5019, Potomac Center Plaza, Washington, DC 20202-2800, phone 202-245-7300.
