Opportunity Summary:
Rehabilitation Long Term Training: Rehabilitation of Individuals Who Are Mentally Ill (CFDA 84.129H) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education, administered through the Rehabilitation Services Administration. The program sits under the broader Rehabilitation Long Term Training authority and is designed to strengthen the rehabilitation workforce by addressing recognized personnel shortages. In practical terms, the grants support training pipelines that prepare qualified professionals to deliver rehabilitation services, with this particular competition focused on training related to serving individuals who are mentally ill.
The purpose of the Rehabilitation Long Term Training program is to provide financial assistance for three main types of training efforts in shortage areas identified by the Secretary: first, projects that provide basic or advanced training leading to an academic degree; second, projects that deliver a structured sequence of courses or a defined program of study that results in a certificate; and third, projects that support medical residents participating in residency programs in physical medicine and rehabilitation. While the opportunity title highlights rehabilitation of individuals who are mentally ill (the 84.129H competition), it is part of a set of related competitions under CFDA 84.129, where different suffixes (such as F, H, P, or R) indicate different focus areas. Applicants are instructed to search by the base CFDA number (84.129) rather than the suffix when locating the application package online.
The funding details listed for this competition indicate an estimated total funding amount of $200,000, with an anticipated two awards. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $100,000. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should plan to contribute non-federal resources as required by the official notice and program rules. Because matching requirements can be specific (for example, what costs qualify, how match must be documented, and whether in-kind contributions are allowed), applicants are directed to consult the Federal Register notice for the binding terms.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and public or nonprofit agencies and organizations, specifically including Indian tribes and institutions of higher education. The listing also references a wide range of applicant types that may apply when they meet the program definition of an eligible public or nonprofit entity, such as public and state-controlled higher education institutions, private institutions of higher education, certain nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), and various governmental entities. The key takeaway is that the program is not limited to universities alone; it is open to a range of public and nonprofit organizations positioned to run long-term training initiatives that address rehabilitation workforce shortages.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the Grants.gov Apply workflow. The process described requires downloading the application package, completing it offline, and then uploading and submitting it through the Grants.gov system; email submissions are explicitly not allowed. Applicants are also pointed to the Grants.gov Helpdesk (1-800-518-4726 and support@grants.gov) for technical issues. For this specific posting, applications became available on November 17, 2008, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was January 15, 2009, with the opportunity later archived on February 14, 2009. Even though these dates reflect the FY 2009 cycle, the structure described (Federal Register notice as the authoritative source, electronic submission through Grants.gov, and CFDA-based search) reflects how the program competitions are typically administered.
The synopsis emphasizes that it is only a summary of the official Federal Register notice and that applicants must rely on the Federal Register publication for the complete requirements. That official notice is where applicants would find the detailed priorities for the competition, the required components of the project narrative, pre-application or application requirements, performance measures, submission instructions, and program contacts. The listing provides points of contact, including a Grants.gov system administrator contact (Julius Cotton, (202) 245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov) for access issues and the program manager (Theresa DeVaughn, (202) 245-7321) at the Rehabilitation Services Administration for programmatic questions, with the office located at 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20202-2800.
Overall, this opportunity funds organizations that can build and deliver long-term training programs that produce qualified rehabilitation personnel in shortage areas, using degree pathways, certificate-based curricula, or residency support models. The competition associated with CFDA 84.129H is framed around improving capacity to serve individuals who are mentally ill, and applicants are expected to align their proposed training approach with federal priorities and evaluation measures laid out in the official notice, while meeting electronic submission and matching requirements.
