Opportunity Summary:
The Rehabilitation Long Term Training Rehabilitation Counseling grant opportunity (CFDA 84.129B) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Education through the Rehabilitation Services Administration. Its main goal is to strengthen the rehabilitation workforce by funding long term training efforts in rehabilitation fields where there are recognized personnel shortages. In practice, this competition is meant to help build and expand pipelines of qualified professionals by supporting projects that provide structured education and training, including degree programs and certificate programs, and by helping support certain medical residency training in physical medicine and rehabilitation.
The program purpose is laid out in three broad categories. First, it funds projects that provide basic or advanced training leading to an academic degree in shortage areas within rehabilitation, as identified by the Secretary. Second, it supports projects offering a defined sequence of courses or a planned program of study that culminates in a certificate, again focused on shortage areas. Third, it can provide support for medical residents who are enrolled in residency training programs in the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation. For this specific listing, the opportunity is framed around Rehabilitation Counseling under the broader Rehabilitation Long Term Training authority.
Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the Apply function. Applicants are expected to download the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through the Grants.gov system. Submissions cannot be emailed directly to the Department of Education. A small but important detail in the posting is that applicants need to search by the base CFDA number without the letter suffix when locating the package on Grants.gov, meaning applicants should search for 84.129 rather than 84.129B. Technical help is available through the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1 800 518 4726 and support@grants.gov.
The posting indicates there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should be prepared for a budget structure that includes non federal contributions consistent with the official notice. Because this summary is only a synopsis, the exact match percentage, allowable sources of match, and documentation requirements would be spelled out in the Federal Register notice referenced in the announcement.
In terms of scale and awards, the competition anticipated making about 23 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,450,000. The award ceiling is listed as $150,000, which signals that individual project budgets were expected to fall at or under that cap, depending on the specific project design and any limits described in the official application notice.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and public or nonprofit agencies and organizations, including Indian tribes and institutions of higher education. The detailed eligibility list also references a wide range of government and nonprofit entities, such as public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), state and local governments (including counties, cities or townships, special districts, and independent school districts), public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, and tribal organizations, including federally recognized tribal governments. The official notice is the controlling source for any nuances, special conditions, or documentation needed to establish eligibility.
The timeline provided in the announcement reflects a posting date of November 17, 2008, with applications available the same day and a deadline for transmittal of applications of January 15, 2009. The funding opportunity number is ED GRANTS 111708 001, and the opportunity was later archived on February 14, 2009. While those dates are historical, the structure of the opportunity description clarifies how the Department expected applicants to access the official notice and submit materials during the open period.
For authoritative requirements like selection criteria, priorities, performance measures, formatting rules, and required assurances, the announcement repeatedly directs applicants to rely on the official Federal Register notice titled "Rehabilitation Long Term Training Rehabilitation Counseling CFDA 84.129B Notice Inviting Applications for New Awards for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009." It also provides contacts for assistance: Julius Cotton is listed as an ED Grants.gov FIND system administrator (202 245 6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov), and Edwin Powell is listed as the program manager at the Rehabilitation Services Administration (202 245 7505), located at 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Room 5038, Potomac Center Plaza, Washington, DC 20202 2800.
