Opportunity Summary:
The Rehabilitation Short Term Training Program (CFDA 84.246K) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education that focuses on building practical, job-ready expertise in the rehabilitation field through short, intensive training activities. The program is designed to fund special seminars, institutes, workshops, and other short-term courses that address technical topics connected to vocational rehabilitation as well as related medical, social, and psychological rehabilitation services. It also explicitly includes training that supports independent living service programs and Client Assistance Programs (CAPs), reflecting an emphasis on improving service quality and professional capacity across the broader rehabilitation system.
The core purpose is workforce and stakeholder development: helping agencies and organizations strengthen the knowledge and skills needed to deliver effective rehabilitation and independent living supports. Rather than funding long-term academic degree programs, this opportunity targets short-format instruction that can quickly transfer specialized methods, emerging practices, or technical competencies to practitioners, administrators, and others involved in rehabilitation services. In practice, that can mean structured learning events that are tightly focused on specific problems or skill gaps in rehabilitation programming, service delivery, and client advocacy supports.
For FY 2010, the opportunity anticipated a very small number of awards, with an expected award count of 1. The estimated total available funding was $200,000, and the award ceiling was also $200,000, meaning a single project could potentially receive the full amount. The notice indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants needed to plan for contributing non-federal resources consistent with the rules in the official application notice. Because matching requirements can vary in percentage, allowable sources, and documentation standards, applicants were expected to rely on the Federal Register notice for the exact terms.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and public or nonprofit agencies and organizations, including Indian tribes and institutions of higher education. The listing also reflects many common government and nonprofit applicant types, such as state governments, county and local governments, public and state-controlled universities, private universities, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), special district governments, tribal governments (federally recognized), and other tribal organizations. The key eligibility framing in the synopsis is that eligible applicants include states plus public or nonprofit entities (including tribes and IHEs), with the Federal Register notice serving as the definitive source for any conditions or clarifications.
The application process required electronic submission through the Department of Educations e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). Applicants were expected to enter information directly into the online system, where it would be saved into a database. The synopsis makes it clear that applicants could not submit an application by emailing an electronic copy, reinforcing that the official submission pathway was the e-Application platform.
The timeline for this funding round was set as follows: applications became available on April 26, 2010, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was June 10, 2010. The posting and creation dates were April 28, 2010, and the archive date was July 10, 2010. The opportunity number associated with the posting is ED-GRANTS-042610-004.
For applicants seeking the full set of rules and requirements, the summary repeatedly points back to the official Federal Register notice as the controlling document. That is where an applicant would find the detailed pre-application and application requirements, submission instructions, performance measures, priorities, and other program-specific compliance expectations. The synopsis also notes that the official Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations can be accessed online through GPO Access (as referenced in the notice).
