Opportunity Summary:
The Rehabilitation Long Term Training Comprehensive System of Personnel Development grant (CFDA 84.129W) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education, administered through the Rehabilitation Services Administration. Its core aim is to strengthen the rehabilitation workforce by supporting long-term training efforts in fields where there are documented personnel shortages. In practical terms, the program helps build a pipeline of qualified professionals by paying for education and structured training so that more specialists are available to deliver rehabilitation services.
The program supports three main types of projects. First, it funds basic or advanced academic training that leads to a degree (for example, graduate-level preparation) in rehabilitation shortage areas identified by the Secretary. Second, it funds organized course sequences or programs of study that lead to a certificate, again tied to rehabilitation shortage areas identified by the Secretary. Third, it provides support connected to medical residents who are enrolled in residency programs in the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Across these tracks, the emphasis is on preparing skilled personnel through sustained, multi-course training rather than short workshops or one-time events.
Eligibility is broad and includes states as well as public or nonprofit agencies and organizations, including Indian tribes and institutions of higher education. The opportunity listing also references a wide range of potential applicant types commonly recognized in federal grants (such as public and private institutions of higher education and various levels of government), but applicants are expected to rely on the Federal Register notice for the controlling eligibility language and any additional conditions or definitions.
For this specific competition cycle, the Department anticipated making about six awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,153,571 and an award ceiling of $200,000. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared to document how they will meet that match as described in the official notice.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov rather than by email. Applicants were instructed to find the application package by searching for CFDA 84.129 (without the alpha suffix "W"). The application package became available November 17, 2008, and the deadline for transmitting applications was January 15, 2009, with the opportunity later archived on February 14, 2009. The posting points applicants to the Federal Register notice as the authoritative source for full requirements, including priorities, performance measures, submission instructions, and program contacts.
For assistance, the listing provides Grants.gov Helpdesk support (1-800-518-4726 and support@grants.gov). It also lists agency contacts, including Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND System Admin) and the program manager, Beverly Steburg, at the Rehabilitation Services Administration, with phone and email contact information for program-specific questions and technical access issues.
