Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant competition from the U.S. Department of Education under the Rehabilitation Services Administration, listed as CFDA 84.129P and titled "Rehabilitation Training: Rehabilitation Long Term Training - Specialized Personnel for Rehabilitation of Individuals who are Blind or Have Vision Impairments." It supports long term training efforts meant to address workforce shortages in rehabilitation by helping fund projects that prepare qualified personnel through structured academic or credential pathways. The description provided is a synopsis of the official Federal Register notice, and applicants are expected to rely on the Federal Register posting for the authoritative details on eligibility rules, required application components, submission steps, priorities, performance measures, and contact points.
The program purpose centers on strengthening the pipeline of rehabilitation professionals in areas officially identified as personnel shortage fields. Funding can support three broad types of training projects: (1) basic or advanced academic training that leads to a degree in a shortage area, (2) a defined sequence of courses or a program of study that results in a certificate in a shortage area, and (3) support for medical residents who are training in physical medicine and rehabilitation. In this specific competition (84.129P), the focus is on specialized personnel who can deliver rehabilitation services to individuals who are blind or have vision impairments, meaning applicants are generally proposing to recruit, train, and graduate professionals with specialized competencies aligned to that population’s needs.
The opportunity was posted April 26, 2010, with applications made available April 23, 2010. The deadline for transmittal of applications was June 7, 2010, and the opportunity archive date was July 7, 2010. The Department anticipated making about three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $300,000. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $100,000. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants would need to plan for and document required non-federal contributions as described in the official notice.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and public or nonprofit agencies and organizations, including institutions of higher education and Indian Tribes. The eligible applicant types listed include public and private institutions of higher education, state governments, county and city or township governments, independent school districts, special district governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and tribal organizations, as well as nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status. The key eligibility statement included in the notice is that eligible applicants are states and public or nonprofit agencies and organizations, including Indian Tribes and institutions of higher education, so proposals generally need to come from entities that can credibly run or sponsor structured training programs tied to rehabilitation workforce development.
Applications for this and related competitions under CFDA 84.129 (including B, C, E, F, H, J, P, Q, R, and W) 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 emphasizes that applications are completed by entering information online into a database and that applicants may not submit by emailing an electronic copy to the agency. In practical terms, this means an applicant would need to build the application within the e-Grants environment and follow the system’s submission workflow rather than relying on email-based delivery.
