Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education and sits under the Rehabilitation Services Administration's Rehabilitation Long Term Training program, specifically the Comprehensive System of Personnel Development competition with CFDA number 84.129W. It is a discretionary grant program intended to strengthen the rehabilitation workforce by addressing areas where there are documented personnel shortages, as identified by the Secretary. The basic idea is to help build a pipeline of qualified professionals by funding long term training efforts that result in formal credentials, whether that means academic degrees, certificate programs, or support tied to medical residency training in a relevant specialty.
The program funds three main types of projects. First, it supports basic or advanced training that leads to an academic degree in rehabilitation shortage areas. Second, it supports structured training that leads to a certificate, again focused on shortage areas and requiring a defined series of courses or a formal program of study. Third, it can provide support for medical residents who are enrolled in residency training programs in physical medicine and rehabilitation, which is a key clinical specialty connected to rehabilitation outcomes and services. Across these tracks, the emphasis is on building capacity and improving the supply of properly trained personnel who can serve people with disabilities through rehabilitation systems.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-042310-011) anticipated making about 6 awards, with an estimated total of $600,000 available. The award ceiling listed is $100,000. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect they will need to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the official notice's rules. The opportunity was posted April 27, 2010, with applications available April 23, 2010, and the deadline for transmittal of applications set for June 7, 2010. The archive date is July 7, 2010, indicating this particular competition cycle is historical, though the summary still reflects how the Department structured that round of funding.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and public or nonprofit agencies and organizations, including Indian Tribes and institutions of higher education. The listing of eligible applicant types includes state and county governments; city, township, and special district governments; federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations; public and state controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The official notice is the controlling source for any nuances or limitations, so applicants would need to rely on the Federal Register publication for definitive eligibility language, required partnerships, and any program specific conditions.
Applications for this competition were required to be submitted electronically through the Department's e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice makes clear that applications could not be submitted by emailing an electronic copy; instead, applicants had to complete the online submission process where entered information is stored in a database. The Department also emphasized that the funding opportunity description being circulated is only a synopsis, and that applicants should consult the official Federal Register notice for complete instructions, including pre-application requirements (if any), application submission steps, performance measures, priorities, and program contacts.
For access and support, the announcement provided two points of contact: Julius Cotton, listed as an ED Grants.gov/FIND systems administrator (phone 202-245-6140; email julius.cotton@ed.gov) for technical access issues, and Traci DiMartini as the program manager within the Rehabilitation Services Administration (phone 202-245-6425) at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, DC. The official notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2010 was referenced as the additional information link, reinforcing that the Federal Register version is the authoritative source for complete requirements and expectations.
