Opportunity Summary:

The Rehabilitation Long Term Training Undergraduate Education in the Rehabilitation Services opportunity (CFDA 84.129L) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Education, under the Rehabilitation Services Administration. Its central goal is to strengthen the rehabilitation workforce by funding education and training efforts in fields where there are documented personnel shortages, as determined by the Secretary. In practical terms, the program is designed to increase the pipeline of qualified rehabilitation professionals by supporting projects that deliver either degree-based training (basic or advanced academic programs) or structured coursework leading to a certificate in shortage areas. The broader Rehabilitation Long Term Training program also includes support for medical residents training in physical medicine and rehabilitation, reflecting a workforce development focus that spans both academic and clinical preparation, though this specific listing is framed around undergraduate education within rehabilitation services.

Eligible applicants are broadly defined and include states as well as public or nonprofit agencies and organizations, including Indian tribes and institutions of higher education. The opportunity list also references a wide range of applicant types that commonly fall within those categories, such as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations, state and local governments (including counties, cities, townships, independent school districts, and special district governments), and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status. A cost-sharing or matching requirement is indicated, meaning applicants would generally be expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost, consistent with the terms spelled out in the official Federal Register notice.

From an application process standpoint, the Department required electronic submission through Grants.gov for the Rehabilitation Training/Rehabilitation Long Term Training competitions, including CFDA numbers 84.129B, 84.129L, 84.129P, and 84.129Q. Applicants were expected to locate and download the correct application package on Grants.gov, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through the system; applications could not be submitted by emailing materials directly to the Department. The original timeline for this FY 2011 competition showed applications becoming available on April 20, 2011, with a deadline for transmittal of June 6, 2011. The posting date is listed as April 20, 2011, and the total estimated funding for the opportunity is shown as $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an expectation of one award.

However, the notice is also marked by an important funding outcome: after the Department published the Federal Register notice inviting applications for new FY 2011 awards, it later determined that final congressional appropriations left insufficient funds to make new awards in 2011. As a result, the Department withdrew the FY 2011 notice inviting applications for this program. The record reflects this withdrawal and indicates the opportunity as archived, meaning that while the synopsis and administrative details remain available for reference, the FY 2011 competition itself did not proceed to new awards due to lack of available funds.

For official requirements such as detailed eligibility nuances, required forms, priorities, selection criteria, performance measures, and any pre-application expectations, applicants were directed to rely on the Federal Register notice as the controlling document. The listing provides points of contact for technical issues accessing the announcement (Julius Cotton, ED Grants.gov/FIND Systems Administrator) and for program-related questions (RoseAnn Ashby, Program Manager at the Rehabilitation Services Administration), including phone numbers and email addresses, which would have supported applicants during the submission window when the competition was active.
