Opportunity Summary:
The Rehabilitation Long Term Training Job Development and Job Placement Services to Individuals With Disabilities grant opportunity (CFDA 84.129R) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Education under the Rehabilitation Services Administration. The opportunity is part of the broader Rehabilitation Long Term Training program, which is designed to strengthen the rehabilitation workforce by funding education and training efforts in areas where there are recognized personnel shortages. In practical terms, the program helps build the pipeline of qualified professionals who can support people with disabilities, including through services connected to employment outcomes such as job development and job placement.
The core purpose of the Rehabilitation Long Term Training program is to provide financial assistance for three main types of training projects. First, it supports projects that deliver basic or advanced academic training leading to a degree in rehabilitation fields where shortages have been identified by the Secretary of Education. Second, it funds projects that offer a defined set of courses or a structured program of study leading to a certificate in shortage areas. Third, it can provide support for medical residents who are enrolled in residency programs in the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Although this specific listing is labeled CFDA 84.129R and is framed around job development and job placement services to individuals with disabilities, it sits within that larger long term training framework focused on addressing workforce gaps through formal training pathways.
Funding for this competition was relatively modest and targeted. The estimated total funding amount was $300,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an expected number of awards of three. The posting date for the opportunity was November 17, 2008, applications became available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was January 15, 2009. The archive date shown is February 14, 2009, indicating it was a time bound competition for FY 2009 new awards.
Eligibility was broad and included public and nonprofit entities with the capacity to run training and workforce development style projects. Eligible applicants included states, public agencies, nonprofit agencies and organizations, Indian tribes, and institutions of higher education. The opportunity also lists a wide range of applicant categories such as state and local governments, public and private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, public housing authorities, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, other tribal organizations, and nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non 501(c)(3) nonprofits), reflecting the program’s intent to allow multiple types of entities that work in rehabilitation and disability services to compete.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning applicants were expected to contribute non federal resources toward the project costs in accordance with the official notice. The synopsis emphasizes that the authoritative requirements, priorities, selection criteria, performance measures, and submission instructions are contained in the Federal Register notice inviting applications, and applicants were expected to rely on that official publication for the full set of rules.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov using the governmentwide Apply site. Applicants were required to download the application package, complete it offline, and upload it through Grants.gov; emailing an application directly to the agency was not allowed. A key technical instruction was to search for the application package using the base CFDA number (84.129) without the letter suffix (so search "84.129" rather than "84.129R" or other variants like 84.129F, H, or P). For submission troubleshooting, the Grants.gov Helpdesk contact information was provided (1 800 518 4726 and support@grants.gov), and the notice also listed agency contacts, including a system administrator contact for access issues and a program manager within the Rehabilitation Services Administration for programmatic questions.
Overall, this opportunity was structured to fund a small number of projects that contribute to long term capacity building in the rehabilitation field, with a specific competition emphasis tied to job development and job placement services for individuals with disabilities, and with standard federal discretionary grant requirements around eligibility, matching, and electronic submission through Grants.gov.
