Opportunity Summary:
The Rehabilitation Long Term Training - Rehabilitation Counseling grant opportunity (CFDA 84.129B) was a discretionary grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of Education. Its core aim was to strengthen the rehabilitation workforce by funding long term training efforts that address documented personnel shortages in rehabilitation fields identified by the Secretary. In practical terms, the program was designed to expand the pipeline of qualified professionals by helping organizations run education and training projects that lead to academic degrees, structured certificate programs, and in some cases support for medical residents training in physical medicine and rehabilitation.
Under this opportunity, grant funds could be used to support three main types of projects. First, it supported basic or advanced academic training leading to a degree for students preparing to work in shortage areas within rehabilitation. Second, it supported projects offering a defined series of courses or a structured program of study that results in a certificate, again tied to rehabilitation shortage areas. Third, it allowed support for medical residents enrolled in residency programs in the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation. While the specific competition referenced here is labeled for rehabilitation counseling (84.129B), the notice also points applicants to related competitions under other suffixes (84.129 L, P, and Q), all under the broader Rehabilitation Long Term Training umbrella.
Eligibility was broad and included states and public or nonprofit agencies and organizations, including institutions of higher education and Indian tribes. The listing also referenced a wide range of applicant types that could potentially qualify depending on their status and alignment with the program rules, including public and private colleges and universities, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and other nonprofits), state and local governments, independent school districts, special district governments, and federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations. The key takeaway is that applicants generally needed to be a state entity or a public or nonprofit organization, with many higher education institutions and tribal entities explicitly contemplated as eligible.
The opportunity required electronic submission through Grants.gov. Applicants were expected to locate the application package by searching for CFDA 84.129 (without the letter suffix) on Grants.gov, download the package, complete it offline, and then upload it for submission. The notice emphasized that applications could not be submitted by email. The original timeline indicated that applications would be available starting April 20, 2011, with a deadline for transmittal of June 6, 2011, and an anticipated set of new awards associated with the FY 2011 cycle.
Funding details indicated an estimated total program amount of $750,000, with an award ceiling of $150,000 and an expectation of about five awards. The listing also stated that cost sharing or matching was required, meaning recipients would need to contribute non federal resources according to the rules laid out in the official Federal Register notice. Because matching requirements can vary by program and year, the notice directed applicants to consult the Federal Register for the exact percentage, allowable sources, documentation expectations, and any exceptions.
One important complication is that this FY 2011 competition was ultimately withdrawn. After the Department published the notice inviting applications on April 20, 2011, it later determined that final congressional action on FY 2011 appropriations left insufficient funds to make new awards. As a result, the Department withdrew the notice for new FY 2011 awards under this program. Even though the opportunity appeared with a closing date and an established submission process, the official status for that specific cycle became "withdrawn" due to lack of available funds.
For official requirements such as selection criteria, priorities, performance measures, formatting and narrative instructions, and compliance expectations, the notice repeatedly directs applicants to the Federal Register application notice as the authoritative source. The posting also provided contact points for help with electronic access and submission (Julius Cotton, ED Grants.gov/FIND Systems Administrator, 202-245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov) and for programmatic questions (RoseAnn Ashby, Rehabilitation Services Administration, U.S. Department of Education, 202-245-7258), reflecting the two main channels applicants typically need: technical support for Grants.gov and policy/program guidance from the program office.
