Opportunity Summary:
The Rehabilitation Training: Rehabilitation Long Term Training program (Rehabilitation Technology), CFDA 84.129E, is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Education through the Rehabilitation Services Administration. The core aim is to strengthen the rehabilitation workforce by funding long-term training projects that address personnel shortages in rehabilitation fields identified by the Secretary. In practical terms, the program is designed to increase the number of qualified professionals by supporting structured training pipelines, whether those pipelines lead to degrees, certificates, or specialized medical residency support tied to rehabilitation practice.
The program supports three main types of training efforts. First, it funds projects that provide basic or advanced training leading to an academic degree in shortage areas within rehabilitation. Second, it supports projects that deliver a defined sequence of courses or a program of study that results in a certificate in those same shortage areas. Third, it allows support for medical residents enrolled in residency training programs in the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Taken together, these pathways reflect a focus on building long-term capacity: preparing new professionals, upskilling current practitioners through formal coursework, and supporting clinical training in a key medical specialty connected to rehabilitation services.
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 public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), and various levels of government such as state, county, city/township, special district governments, and federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations. In other words, applicants can come from many different public-serving entities as long as they fit within the categories described in the official notice.
For FY 2010, the opportunity anticipated making 2 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources in support of the project, consistent with the requirements spelled out in the official Federal Register notice. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is education, reflecting the emphasis on training and academic or structured instructional programs.
Applications under this competition had to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education e-Application system (via the e-Grants website at http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice stresses that applicants submit through the online system where information is entered and stored in a database, and that applications cannot be submitted by emailing an electronic copy. For the FY 2010 cycle reflected in the synopsis, applications were available on April 23, 2010, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was June 7, 2010, with the posting date listed as April 26, 2010 and an archive date of July 7, 2010.
Because the text provided is only a synopsis, the full requirements, priorities, performance measures, and submission instructions are contained in the official application notice published in the Federal Register. The synopsis specifically points applicants to the Federal Register for authoritative details and notes that the government makes the official edition available online. For applicant support and program questions, the contact information listed includes Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov system administration support) and Traci DiMartini (Program Manager at the Rehabilitation Services Administration), with phone numbers and email addresses provided in the announcement.
