Full Text of Announcement

I. Funding Opportunity Description

Purpose of Program: The Rehabilitation Long-Term Training program
provides financial assistance for projects that provide--
(1) Basic or advanced training leading to an academic degree in
areas of personnel shortages in rehabilitation as identified by the
Secretary;
(2) A specified series of courses or program of study leading to
the award of a certificate in areas of personnel shortages in
rehabilitation as identified by the Secretary; and
(3) Support for medical residents enrolled in residency training
programs in the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation.
Priority: This priority is from the notice of final priority for
this program, published on July 23, 2014 in the Federal Register (79 FR
42680).
Absolute Priority: For FY 2015 and any subsequent year in which we
make awards from the list of unfunded applicants from this competition,
this priority is an absolute priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3) we
consider only applications that meet this priority.
This priority is:
Rehabilitation Specialty Areas.
The purpose of the priority is to fund programs leading to a
master's degree or certificate in one of two specialty areas:
Rehabilitation of Individuals Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (84.129Q)
and Comprehensive System of Personnel Development (84.129W). The goal
of this priority is to increase the skills of scholars in these
rehabilitation specialty areas so that, upon successful completion of
their master's degree or certificate programs, they are prepared to
effectively meet the needs and demands of individuals with
disabilities.
Under this priority, applicants must:
(a) Provide data on the current and projected employment needs and

[[Page 15761]]

personnel shortages in the specialty area in State VR agencies and
other related agencies as defined in 34 CFR 386.4 in their local area,
region, and State, and describe how the proposed program will address
those employment needs and personnel shortages.
(b) Describe how the proposed program will provide rehabilitation
professionals with the skills and knowledge that will help ensure that
the individuals with disabilities whom they serve can meet current
demands and emerging trends in the labor market, including how:
(1) The curriculum provides a breadth of knowledge, experience, and
rigor that will adequately prepare scholars to meet the employment
needs and goals of VR consumers and aligns with evidence-based and
competency-based practices in the rehabilitation specialty area;
(2) The curriculum prepares scholars to meet all applicable
certification standards;
(3) The curriculum addresses new or emerging consumer needs or
trends at the national, State, and regional levels in the
rehabilitation specialty area;
(4) The curriculum teaches scholars to address the needs of
individuals with disabilities who are from diverse cultural
backgrounds;
(5) The curriculum trains scholars to assess the assistive
technology needs of consumers, identify the most appropriate assistive
technology services and devices for assisting consumers to obtain and
retain employment, and train consumers to use such technology;
(6) The curriculum teaches scholars to work with employers
effectively in today's economy, including by teaching strategies for
developing relationships with employers in their State and local areas,
identifying employer needs and skill demands, making initial employer
contacts, presenting job-ready clients to potential employers, and
conducting follow-up with employers; and
(7) The latest technology is incorporated into the methods of
instruction (e.g., the use of distance education to reach scholars who
live far from the university and the use of technology to acquire labor
market information).
(c) Describe their methods to:
(1) Recruit highly capable prospective scholars who have the
potential to successfully complete the academic program, all required
practicum and internship experiences, and the required service
obligation;
(2) Educate potential scholars about the terms and conditions of
the service obligation under 34 CFR 386.4, 386.34, and 386.40 through
386.43 so that they will be fully informed before accepting a
scholarship;
(3) Maintain a system that ensures that scholars sign a payback
agreement and an exit form when they exit the program, regardless of
whether they drop out, are removed, or successfully complete the
program;
(4) Provide academic support and counseling to scholars throughout
the course of the academic program to ensure successful completion;
(5) Ensure that all scholars complete an internship in a State VR
agency or a related agency as a requirement for completion of a program
leading to a master's degree. The internship must be in a State VR
agency unless the VR agency does not directly perform work related to
the scholar's course of study or an applicant can provide sufficient
justification that it is not feasible for all students receiving
scholarships to complete an internship in a State VR agency. In such
cases, the applicant may require scholars to complete an internship in
a related agency, as defined in 34 CFR 386.4. Circumstances that would
constitute sufficient justification may include, but are not limited
to, a lack of capacity at the State VR agency to provide adequate
supervision of scholars during their internship experience and the
physical distance between scholars and the nearest office of the State
VR agency (e.g., for scholars enrolled in distance-learning programs or
at rural institutions). Applicants should include a written
justification in the application or provide it to RSA for review and
approval by the appropriate RSA Project Officer no later than 30 days
prior to a scholar beginning an internship in a related agency. For
applicants proposing a certificate program, the requirement for an
internship in a State VR agency or a related agency is waived unless
the certificate program has an internship requirement.
(6) Provide career counseling, including informing scholars of
professional contacts and networks, job leads, and other necessary
resources and information to support scholars in successfully obtaining
and retaining qualifying employment;
(7) Maintain regular contact with scholars upon successful program
completion to ensure that they have support during their search for
qualifying employment as well as support during the initial months of
their employment (e.g., by matching scholars with mentors in the
field);
(8) Maintain regular communication with scholars after program exit
to ensure that their contact information is current and that
documentation of employment is accurate and meets the regulatory
requirements for qualifying employment; and
(9) Maintain accurate information on, while safeguarding the
privacy of, current and former scholars from the time they are enrolled
in the program until they successfully meet their service obligation.
(d) Describe a plan for developing and maintaining partnerships
with State VR agencies and community-based rehabilitation service
providers that includes:
(1) Coordination between the grantee and the State VR agencies and
community-based rehabilitation service providers that will promote
qualifying employment opportunities for scholars and formalized on-
boarding and induction experiences for new hires;
(2) Formal opportunities for scholars to obtain work experiences
through internships, practicum agreements, job shadowing, and mentoring
opportunities; and
(3) When applicable, a scholar internship assessment tool that is
developed to ensure a consistent approach to the evaluation of scholars
in a particular program. The tool should reflect the specific
responsibilities of the scholar during the internship. The grantee and
worksite supervisor are encouraged to work together as they see fit to
develop the assessment tool. Supervisors at the internship site will
complete the assessment detailing the scholar's strengths and areas for
improvement that must be addressed and provide the results of the
assessment to the grantee. The grantee should ensure that (i) scholars
are provided with a copy of the assessment and all relevant rubrics
prior to beginning their internship, (ii) supervisors have sufficient
technical support to accurately complete the assessment, and (iii)
scholars receive a copy of the results of the assessment within 90 days
of the end of their internship.
(e) Describe how scholars will be evaluated throughout the entire
program to ensure that they are proficient in meeting the needs and
demands of today's consumers and employers, including the steps that
will be taken to provide assistance to a scholar who is not meeting
academic standards or who is performing poorly in a practicum or
internship setting.
(f) Describe how the program will be evaluated. Such a description
must include:
(1) How the program will determine its effect over a period of time
on filling vacancies in the State VR agency with qualified
rehabilitation professionals

[[Page 15762]]

capable of providing quality services to consumers;
(2) How input from State VR agencies and community-based
rehabilitation service providers will be included in the evaluation;
(3) How feedback from consumers of VR services and employers
(including the assessments described in paragraph (d)(3)) will be
included in the evaluation;
(4) How data from other sources, such as those from the Department
on the State VR program, will be included in the evaluation; and
(5) How the data and results from the evaluation will be used to
make necessary adjustments and improvements to the program.
Fourth and Fifth Years of the Project: In deciding whether to
continue funding any Rehabilitation Long-Term Training project for the
fourth and fifth years, the Secretary will consider the requirements of
34 CFR 75.253(a), and in addition--
(a) The recommendation of the RSA project officer who will monitor
the reported annual performance of the grantee's training program and
measure progress towards achieving the projections in the grantee's
application. This review will consider the number of students actually
enrolled in the grantee's training program, the number of students who
successfully enter qualifying employment with State vocational
rehabilitation (VR) agencies, and the number of students who obtain
qualifying employment in related agencies;
(b) The timeliness and effectiveness with which all requirements of
the grant award have been or are being met by the grantee, including
the submission of annual performance reports and annual RSA scholar
payback program reports, and adherence to fiduciary responsibilities
related to the budget submitted in the application; and
(c) The quality, relevance, and usefulness of the grantee's
training program and activities, and the degree to which the training
program and activities and their outcomes have contributed to
significantly improving the quality of VR professionals ready for
employment with State VR agencies and related agencies, as measured by
the percentage of students entering eligible employment under 34 CFR
386.34.
Grantees must also provide assurances that they will abide by all
of the administrative and performance reporting requirements associated
with the RSA scholar payback program reports and will retain all the
documentation, including the scholarship agreement, exit forms, and any
other documentation, necessary to ensure students understand their
financial responsibilities and liabilities under this program (34 CFR
part 386).

Note: While applicants may not hire staff or select trainees
based on race or national origin/ethnicity, they may conduct
outreach activities to increase the pool of eligible minority
candidates. We may disqualify and not consider for funding any
applicant that indicates that it will hire or train a certain number
or percentage of minority candidates.

Program Authority: 29 U.S.C. 772.

Applicable Regulations: (a) The Education Department General
Administrative Regulations in 34 CFR parts 75, 77, 79, 81, 82, 84, 86,

on Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement) in 2 CFR
part 180, as adopted and amended as regulations of the Department in 2

Department of Education, you must--
a. Have a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number and a
Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN);
b. Register both your DUNS number and TIN with the System for Award
Management (SAM) (formerly the Central Contractor Registry (CCR)), the
Government's primary registrant database;
c. Provide your DUNS number and TIN on your application; and
d. Maintain an active SAM registration with current information
while your application is under review by the Department and, if you
are awarded a grant, during the project period.
You can obtain a DUNS number from Dun and Bradstreet. A DUNS number
can be created within one to two business days.
If you are a corporate entity, agency, institution, or
organization, you can obtain a TIN from the Internal Revenue Service.
If you are an individual, you can obtain a TIN from the Internal
Revenue Service or the Social Security Administration. If you need a
new TIN, please allow two to five weeks for your TIN to become active.
The SAM registration process can take approximately seven business
days, but may take upwards of several weeks, depending on the
completeness and accuracy of the data entered into the SAM database by
an entity. Thus, if you think you might want to apply for

[[Page 15764]]

Federal financial assistance under a program administered by the
Department, please allow sufficient time to obtain and register your
DUNS number and TIN. We strongly recommend that you register early.

Note: Once your SAM registration is active, you will need to
allow 24 to 48 hours for the information to be available in
Grants.gov and before you can submit an application through
Grants.gov.

If you are currently registered with SAM, you may not need to make
any changes. However, please make certain that the TIN associated with
your DUNS number is correct. Also note that you will need to update
your registration annually. This may take three or more business days.
Information about SAM is available at www.SAM.gov. To further
assist you with obtaining and registering your DUNS number and TIN in
SAM or updating your existing SAM account, we have prepared a SAM.gov
Tip Sheet, which you can find at: www2.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/sam-faqs.html.
In addition, if you are submitting your application via Grants.gov,
you must (1) be designated by your organization as an Authorized
Organization Representative (AOR); and (2) register yourself with
Grants.gov as an AOR. Details on these steps are outlined at the
following Grants.gov Web page: www.grants.gov/web/grants/register.html.
7. Other Submission Requirements: Applications for grants under

with the deadline requirements. When we retrieve your application from
Grants.gov, we will notify you if we are rejecting your application
because it was date and time stamped by the Grants.gov system after
4:30:00 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date.
The amount of time it can take to upload an application
will vary depending on a variety of factors, including the size of the

strongly recommend that you do not wait until the application deadline
date to begin the submission process through Grants.gov.
You should review and follow the Education Submission
Procedures for submitting an application through Grants.gov that are
included in the application package for this competition to ensure that

submit your application in electronic format, nor will we penalize you
if you qualify for an exception to the electronic submission
requirement, as described elsewhere in this section, and submit your
application in paper format.
You must submit all documents electronically, including
all information you typically provide on the following forms: The
Application for Federal Assistance (SF 424), the Department of
Education Supplemental Information for SF 424, Budget Information--Non-

fillable PDF file. If you upload a file type other than a read-only,
non-modifiable PDF or submit a password-protected file, we will not
review that material.
Your electronic application must comply with any page-
limit requirements described in this notice.
After you electronically submit your application, you will
receive from Grants.gov an automatic notification of receipt that
contains a Grants.gov tracking number. (This notification indicates
receipt by Grants.gov only, not receipt by the Department.) The
Department then will retrieve your application from Grants.gov and send
a second notification to you by email. This second notification
indicates that the Department has received your application and has
assigned your application a PR/Award number (an ED-specified
identifying number unique to your application).
We may request that you provide us original signatures on
forms at a later date.
Application Deadline Date Extension in Case of Technical Issues

p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date. The
Department will contact you after a determination is made on whether
your application will be accepted.

Note: The extensions to which we refer in this section apply
only to the unavailability of, or technical problems with, the

V. Application Review Information

1. Selection Criteria: The selection criteria for this competition
are from 34 CFR 75.210 and 34 CFR 386.20 and are listed in the
application package.
2. Review and Selection Process: We remind potential applicants
that in reviewing applications in any discretionary grant competition,
the Secretary may consider, under 34 CFR 75.217(d)(3), the past
performance of the applicant in carrying out a previous award, such as
the applicant's use of funds, achievement of project objectives, and
compliance with grant conditions. The Secretary may also consider
whether the applicant failed to submit a timely performance report or
submitted a report of unacceptable quality.
In addition, in making a competitive grant award, the Secretary
also requires various assurances including those applicable to Federal
civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination in programs or
activities receiving Federal financial assistance from the Department
of Education (34 CFR 100.4, 104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).
3. Special Conditions: Under 2 CFR 3474.10, the Secretary may
impose special conditions and, in appropriate circumstances, high-risk
conditions on a grant if the applicant or grantee is not financially
stable; has a history of unsatisfactory performance; has a financial or
other management system that does not meet the standards in 2 CFR part
200, subpart D; has not fulfilled the conditions of a prior grant; or
is otherwise not responsible.

(e) Assistance provided to scholars who may not be meeting academic
standards or who are performing poorly in a practicum or internship
setting;
(f) Results of the program evaluation, as well as information
describing how these results will be used to make necessary adjustments
and improvements to the program;
(g) Results from scholar internship, practicum, job shadowing, or
mentoring assessments, as well as information describing how those
results will be used to ensure that future scholars receive all
necessary preparation and training prior to program completion;

progress towards meeting the 10 percent match requirement. For
subsequent reporting years, grantees will confirm projections made from
the prior year; and
(q) Other information, as requested by RSA, in order to verify
substantial progress and effectively report program impact to Congress
and key stakeholders.
4. Performance Measures: The Government Performance and Results Act
of 1993 (GPRA) directs Federal departments and agencies to improve the
effectiveness of programs by engaging in strategic planning, setting
outcome-related goals for programs, and measuring program results
against those goals.
The goal of RSA's Rehabilitation Training: Rehabilitation Long-Term
Training--Rehabilitation Specialty Areas program is to increase the
number of qualified VR personnel, including counselors and other
professional and paraprofessional staff, working in State VR or related
agencies. At least 75 percent of total project funds must be used for
direct payment of student scholarships.
Grantees are required to maintain a system that safeguards the
privacy of current and former scholars from the time they are enrolled
in the program until they successfully meet their service obligation
through qualified employment or monetary repayment. This system must
ensure that scholars sign a payback agreement and an exit form when
they exit the program, regardless of whether they drop out, are
removed, or successfully complete the program. Specifically, each
grantee is required to maintain the following scholar information:
(a) Current contact information for all students receiving
scholarships, including home address, email, and a phone number (home
or cell);
(b) A point of contact for each scholar in the event that the
grantee is unable to contact the student. This contact must be at least
21 years of age and may be a parent, relative, spouse, partner,
sibling, or guardian;
(c) Cumulative financial support granted to scholars;
(d) Scholar debt in years;
(e) Program completion date and reason for exit for each scholar;
(f) Annual documentation from the scholar's employer(s) until the
scholar completes the service obligation. This documentation must
include the following elements in order to verify qualified employment:
Start date of employment to the present date, confirmation of full-time
or part-time employment (if the scholar is working part-time the number
of hours per week must be included in the documentation), type of
employment, and a description of the roles and responsibilities
performed on the job. This information is required for each employer if
the scholar has worked in more than one setting in order to meet the
service obligation.
If the scholar is employed in a related agency, the agency must
also provide documentation to validate that there is a relationship
with the State VR agency.

[[Page 15767]]

This may be a formal or informal contract, cooperative agreement,
memorandum of understanding, or related document;
(g) Annual documentation from the scholar's IHE to verify dates of
deferral, if applicable. The documentation may be prepared by the
scholar's advisor or department chair and must include: Confirmation of
enrollment date, estimated graduation date, confirmation that the
scholar is enrolled in a full-time course of study, and confirmation of
the scholar's intent to fulfill the service obligation upon completion
of the program.
Grantees are required to report annually to RSA on the data
elements described above using the RSA Grantee Reporting Form, OMB
number 1820-0617, an electronic reporting system supported by the RSA
Management Information System (RSA MIS). In addition, grantees are
required to utilize all forms required by RSA to prepare and process
repayment, as well as requests for deferral and exceptions. The RSA
Grantee Reporting Form collects specific data, including the number of
scholars entering the rehabilitation workforce, the rehabilitation
field each scholar enters, and the type of employment setting each
scholar chooses (e.g., State VR agency, nonprofit service provider, or
professional practice group). This form allows RSA to measure the
progress towards achieving the goal of increasing the number of
qualified VR personnel working in State VR and related agencies.
5. Continuation Awards: In making a continuation award under 34 CFR
75.253, the Secretary considers, among other things: Whether a grantee
has made substantial progress in achieving the goals and objectives of
the project; whether the grantee has expended funds in a manner that is
consistent with its approved application and budget; and, if the
Secretary has established performance measurement requirements, the
performance targets in the grantee's approved application. In making a
continuation grant, the Secretary also considers whether the grantee is
operating in compliance with the assurances in its approved
application, including those applicable to Federal civil rights laws
that prohibit discrimination in programs or activities receiving
Federal financial assistance from the Department (34 CFR 100.4, 104.5,
106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).
