Opportunity Summary:
The Technical Assistance and Continuing Education (TACE) Centers grant opportunity (CFDA 84.264A) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Education under the Rehabilitation Continuing Education Program. At its core, the program is meant to strengthen the skills and ongoing professional development of people who are already working in the rehabilitation field. Rather than focusing on one-off trainings, the Department is looking to fund regional training centers that can deliver a broad, integrated, and continuing sequence of learning activities designed to address recurring and widely shared training needs across a multi-state area. In practical terms, the goal is to improve the quality and consistency of rehabilitation services by keeping employed rehabilitation personnel current on effective practices, evolving requirements, and common challenges they face across states within a region.
The opportunity anticipates making about 10 awards nationwide, with an estimated total funding amount of $7.9 million. The maximum award amount listed is $969,100. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect that the project budget will need to include a non-federal share consistent with the rules described in the official Federal Register notice (the synopsis does not spell out the percentage or structure, so applicants would need to confirm the exact requirement in the formal application notice).
Eligibility is broad and includes states as well as public or nonprofit agencies and organizations. Eligible entities explicitly include Indian tribes and institutions of higher education, which signals that the Department expects applicants to have either a statewide/regional mandate, a strong service and training infrastructure, or the capacity to coordinate across systems. The listing of eligible applicant types also covers a wide range of government units and nonprofit categories, including public and state-controlled colleges and universities, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as described in the posting), and various local government entities. The key theme is that applicants should be capable of operating a regional center model and delivering continuing education that reaches rehabilitation personnel across multiple states or a defined geographic service area.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and the notice is clear that email submissions are not accepted. Applicants were instructed to search the application package by CFDA number "84.264" (without the letter suffix) when locating the downloadable package on Grants.gov. The original posting date was June 5, 2008, with applications made available the same day and a deadline for transmittal of July 31, 2008; the archive date is listed as August 30, 2008. Although those dates reflect the FY 2008 competition, they are still useful as a reference for how the Department structured this particular funding round and what submission method and identifiers were used.
Because this summary is only a synopsis, the official Federal Register notice is treated as the controlling document for the competition. The notice directs applicants to consult that official version for the details that typically decide competitiveness and compliance, including required application components, any absolute or competitive priorities, performance measures, reporting expectations, formatting rules, and other pre-application or submission requirements. The posting also provides support contacts: Grants.gov help is available through the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726, and an agency contact is listed for technical access issues (Julius Cotton, ED Grants.gov system administration) as well as a program manager contact (Christine Marschall) at the Department of Education for programmatic questions.
