Opportunity Summary:
The Rehabilitation Long Term Training Program - Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling (CFDA 84.129B) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to help address workforce shortages in the rehabilitation field. The core purpose of the program is to provide financial assistance for projects that deliver basic or advanced academic training leading to an academic degree in rehabilitation-related areas where the Secretary has identified a personnel shortage. In practice, this competition supports efforts to strengthen the pipeline of qualified vocational rehabilitation counseling professionals by funding degree-focused training initiatives that build capacity and prepare individuals for employment in the rehabilitation system.
Eligible applicants include states as well as public or nonprofit agencies and organizations. The eligibility list explicitly includes Indian tribes and institutions of higher education, reflecting the program's focus on training and degree completion. The opportunity is categorized as an education-related grant program and includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should plan for required non-federal contributions as described in the official Federal Register notice. The Department anticipated making about 20 awards under this competition, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,000,000.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov and could not be submitted by email. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix (search 84.129 rather than 84.129B). The application package became available on January 7, 2015, a pre-application webinar was scheduled for January 15, 2015, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was March 9, 2015. The archived date for the opportunity was April 8, 2015, indicating the competition is no longer open, but the summary remains useful for understanding the structure of the program and how the Department administered that cycle.
Because the posting is only a synopsis, the controlling source for full requirements is the official application notice published in the Federal Register. That notice is where applicants would find detailed instructions on pre-application and application requirements, submission procedures, performance measures, selection criteria, and any program priorities. For technical help with Grants.gov submissions, applicants were directed to the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov. For program and administrative questions, the listing provides contacts at the Department of Education, including Joyce Mays (202-245-6122, joyce.mays@ed.gov) and Program Manager RoseAnn Ashby at the Rehabilitation Services Administration (202-245-7258), with the program office located at 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20202-2800.
