Opportunity Summary:
The Rehabilitation Continuing Education Program (RCEP) Regional Technical Assistance and Continuing Education (TACE) Centers Program, CFDA 84.264A, is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to strengthen the skills of currently employed rehabilitation personnel through organized, regionally focused continuing education. The core idea of the program is to fund training centers that serve a federal region or another multi-state geographic area and that can deliver a broad, integrated sequence of training and technical assistance activities. Rather than targeting one-off or isolated workshops, the program emphasizes ongoing, coordinated training intended to address recurrent and shared workforce needs across multiple states, helping rehabilitation staff stay current on practices, requirements, and service delivery approaches relevant to vocational rehabilitation and related rehabilitation systems.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally signals a closer working relationship between the Department of Education and the funded centers than a standard grant might involve. The program falls under the education funding activity category and, according to the opportunity listing, anticipated making two awards. The estimated total funding available was $1,598,832, with an award ceiling of $802,710 per award. The listing also indicates a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants needed to plan for contributing non-federal resources in line with the rules described in the official Federal Register notice.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and public or nonprofit agencies and organizations, explicitly including Indian tribes and institutions of higher education. The opportunity also lists a wide range of eligible applicant types such as public and private colleges and universities, state and local governments (including counties, cities/townships, special districts), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as specified), and federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations. The official notice is the controlling document for any nuances, limits, or clarifications about eligibility, partnership requirements, and what kinds of entities qualify under specific categories.
The application process required electronic submission through Grants.gov. Applicants were expected to download the application package, complete it offline, and upload it through the Grants.gov system; emailing an application was not allowed. A practical detail that mattered for finding the correct package was the search instruction: applicants had to search by the CFDA number without the alpha suffix (search for 84.264 rather than 84.264A). The posted date for the opportunity was October 20, 2008, applications became available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was November 19, 2008. The listing shows the opportunity was later archived on December 19, 2008.
For applicants needing help, the announcement pointed to the Grants.gov Helpdesk (1-800-518-4726 and support@grants.gov) for technical submission support. It also provided agency contacts tied to the competition, including a Grants.gov system administrator contact (Julius Cotton, (202) 245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov) and a program manager contact (Christine Marschall, (202) 245-7429, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, room 5053, Potomac Center Plaza, Washington, DC 20202-2800). The full requirements around priorities, performance measures, pre-application or application procedures, and other compliance details were referenced as being contained in the official Federal Register Notice Inviting Applications for new awards for FY 2009, which is the definitive source for preparing a compliant submission.
