Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education under the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) and sits within the broader Rehabilitation Long Term Training program. The specific competition is titled "Rehabilitation Long Term Training - Rehabilitation of Individuals Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing" and is identified as CFDA 84.129Q (with the base CFDA being 84.129). It is a discretionary grant program designed to strengthen the rehabilitation workforce by addressing personnel shortage areas identified by the Secretary. In practical terms, the program is meant to fund training pipelines that produce qualified professionals who can better serve individuals with disabilities, including people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
The stated purpose of the Rehabilitation Long Term Training program is to provide financial assistance for three main types of training efforts. First, it supports projects that provide basic or advanced academic training leading to a degree in shortage areas within rehabilitation. Second, it supports projects offering a structured sequence of courses or a program of study that results in a certificate (again tied to identified personnel shortage areas). Third, it can support medical residents in residency programs specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation. While that third category is part of the overall Training Program description, this particular funding title emphasizes rehabilitation training related to serving individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, meaning the funded projects would generally be expected to build specialized expertise and expand the supply of trained personnel in that niche area of rehabilitation services.
From an administrative and application standpoint, the notice explains that applications for the Rehabilitation Long Term Training competitions (including CFDA suffixes B, L, P, and Q) were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. Applicants would download the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through the Grants.gov "Apply" function. The notice is explicit that applicants could not submit an application by emailing an electronic copy to the Department. It also includes a practical instruction about searching Grants.gov: applicants needed to search by the CFDA number without the letter suffix (for example, search "84.129" rather than "84.129Q") to find the correct downloadable application package.
In terms of who could apply, eligibility was broad and included states as well as public or nonprofit agencies and organizations, including Indian tribes and institutions of higher education. The opportunity record also lists a range of government entities (state, county, city/township, special districts, independent school districts), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, and certain nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and some non-501(c)(3) nonprofits outside higher education). The listing signals that RSA anticipated applications from public systems, colleges and universities, and nonprofit entities that are positioned to run long-term training programs and place graduates into rehabilitation-related roles.
The funding details presented in the opportunity record indicate an estimated total funding amount of $200,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an expectation of approximately two awards. The record also indicates that cost sharing or matching was required, meaning grantees would be expected to contribute non-federal resources according to the requirements laid out in the official Federal Register notice (the synopsis itself does not spell out the matching formula, but it flags that a match is part of the program conditions).
The timeline information shows that applications were originally made available on April 20, 2011, with an initial deadline for transmittal of applications of June 6, 2011. However, a crucial update changed the outcome of the competition: after the Department published the notice inviting applications for FY 2011 new awards, it later determined that final Congressional action on FY 2011 appropriations left insufficient funds to make new awards that year. As a result, the Department withdrew the notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2011 under this program. In other words, even though the competition was announced with dates and funding expectations, the Department ultimately cancelled the FY 2011 new-award round due to funding constraints. The opportunity is therefore best understood as an archived, withdrawn competition rather than an active funding chance for that fiscal year.
Finally, the announcement provides contact points for both technical and program-related questions. For help accessing the announcement electronically or dealing with Grants.gov-related issues, the listing names Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin) with a phone number and email. For program-specific questions, it identifies RoseAnn Ashby as the Program Manager within the Rehabilitation Services Administration, including the Department address in Washington, DC, a phone number, and an email contact. For anyone trying to understand the full requirements, priorities, performance measures, and submission rules, the synopsis emphasizes that the official and controlling guidance is the Federal Register notice, and it points readers to where the Federal Register and regulations can be accessed online.
