Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 070519 007
This funding opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), through the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA). It is part of the Rehabilitation Training: Rehabilitation Long-Term Training Program and specifically targets training focused on the rehabilitation of individuals who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing under CFDA (now commonly referenced as assistance listing) 84.129Q. The program sits in the broader education and workforce-development space, with the federal government using discretionary grant funds to build the pipeline of qualified vocational rehabilitation (VR) professionals.
The core purpose of the Rehabilitation Long-Term Training Program is to address documented personnel shortages by supporting projects that provide academic preparation and long-term training for people who will deliver VR services to individuals with disabilities. In other words, the government is trying to increase the number of well-trained practitioners available to help people with disabilities prepare for, obtain, and maintain employment and achieve greater independence. For FY 2019, RSA planned awards across four training focus areas: Rehabilitation Counseling (84.129B), Rehabilitation of Individuals Who Are Mentally Ill (84.129H), Rehabilitation of Individuals Who are Blind or Have Vision Impairments (84.129P), and Rehabilitation of Individuals Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (84.129Q). This particular notice is the Deaf or Hard of Hearing track, meaning proposed projects are expected to build specialized expertise relevant to serving Deaf and Hard of Hearing consumers within VR systems and related service settings.
Eligible applicants are broad and include multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, and special district governments), independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, and tribal organizations. Nonprofit organizations are also eligible, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education, depending on how the notice defines categories). The listing also includes an "Others" category with a note to consult the official notice for clarifications, which typically means there may be specific conditions or additional eligible entity types described in the Federal Register application notice.
Awards are issued as grants under a discretionary program. For this competition, the posted award ceiling is $150,000, and the Department anticipated making two awards. The opportunity was created and posted on July 5, 2019, with applications made available the same day and a deadline to submit applications by August 5, 2019. OSERS also provided structured pre-application support: a set of pre-recorded informational webinars to be posted no later than July 10, 2019, and a public pre-application Q and A blog that would open by July 15, 2019 and remain available until July 24, 2019. That blog was limited to questions about application requirements, with OSERS indicating it would not respond to unrelated questions. After the blog closed, applicants were directed to contact the program point of contact, Cassandra P. Shoffler, at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, DC, with phone and email provided in the notice.
As with many Department of Education discretionary grants, the synopsis emphasizes that the brief description is not the authoritative source; the controlling requirements are in the official Federal Register notice. Applicants are directed to review that notice for the full set of details, including eligibility nuances, pre-application and application requirements, submission instructions, performance measures, priorities, and contact information. The notice also points applicants to the Department of Education "Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs" published February 13, 2019 (84 FR 3768), which typically lays out governmentwide and departmentwide expectations for formatting, required forms, narrative structure, and electronic submission procedures.
Finally, the program explicitly states that funded projects must be operated consistent with nondiscrimination requirements rooted in the U.S. Constitution and federal civil rights laws. Practically, that signals that grantees must design and run training programs in a manner that provides equitable access and complies with applicable civil rights protections, which is a standard but important condition for federally funded education and training initiatives.Apply for ED GRANTS 070519 007
