Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education under the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) and falls under the Rehabilitation Long Term Training program, specifically the track focused on the rehabilitation of individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing (CFDA 84.129Q). It is a discretionary grant competition intended to build the long term workforce capacity needed in rehabilitation by funding training programs that prepare qualified personnel in recognized shortage areas. The notice emphasizes that the funding opportunity description is only a synopsis and that applicants must rely on the official Federal Register notice for the controlling requirements, priorities, performance measures, and submission rules.
The core purpose of the Rehabilitation Long Term Training program is to provide financial assistance for training projects in shortage areas identified by the Secretary. The program supports three main types of training efforts: first, projects that provide basic or advanced academic training leading to a degree (for example, graduate level preparation in specialized rehabilitation fields); second, projects that deliver a defined sequence of courses or a structured program of study leading to a certificate in an identified shortage area; and third, support for medical residents enrolled in physical medicine and rehabilitation residency programs. In the context of CFDA 84.129Q, the focus is on developing professionals who can effectively serve people who are deaf or hard of hearing within vocational rehabilitation and related service systems, strengthening the pipeline of trained practitioners where shortages exist.
Funding for this competition was estimated at $400,000 total, with an anticipated four awards. The maximum award amount listed is $100,000. The opportunity also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the official notice and applicable program regulations. Because the summary points back to the Federal Register for details, the exact matching percentage, allowable sources, and documentation expectations would need to be confirmed in the official application notice.
Eligibility is broad and includes states as well as public or nonprofit agencies and organizations, including Indian Tribes and institutions of higher education. The eligible applicant list also references a wide range of entity types that commonly participate in federal education and training grants, such as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), school districts, and various levels of government (city, county, state), along with tribal governments and tribal organizations. In practice, this kind of program is typically pursued by universities, training consortia, state agencies, or specialized nonprofit service organizations that can design and operate a rigorous training pipeline aligned with rehabilitation workforce needs for deaf and hard of hearing populations.
Applications for this competition had to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education e-Grants system using e-Application (with the summary explicitly stating that applications cannot be submitted by emailing an electronic copy). The applications were available April 23, 2010, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was June 7, 2010, with the opportunity later archived on July 7, 2010. The funding opportunity number is ED-GRANTS-042310-009, and the activity category is Education. The synopsis also notes that applicants enter information directly into an online system where it is stored in a database, reinforcing that applicants should plan for a fully electronic submission process and follow the system instructions and submission rules laid out in the official notice.
