We will reject any application that proposes a budget exceeding the
maximum amount for each individual competition for a single budget
period of 12 months. For projects funded under 84.129B, the maximum
amount for a single budget period of 12 months is $150,000. For all
other competitions in this notice, the maximum amount is $100,000 for a
single budget period of 12 months. The Assistant Secretary for Special
Education and Rehabilitative Services may change the maximum amount
through a notice published in the Federal Register.
Note: The Department is not bound by any estimates in this

of grants awarded in each specific priority area based on factors
such as the quality of the applications received.
III. Eligibility Information
1. Eligible Applicants: States and public or nonprofit agencies and
organizations, including Indian Tribes and institutions of higher
education.
2. Cost Sharing or Matching: Cost sharing of at least 10 percent of
the total cost of the project is required of grantees under the
Rehabilitation Long-Term Training program. The Secretary may waive part
of the non-Federal share of the cost of the project after negotiations
if the applicant demonstrates that it does not have sufficient
resources to contribute the entire match (34 CFR 386.30).
Note: Under 34 CFR 75.562(c), an indirect cost reimbursement on
a training grant is limited to the recipient's actual indirect
costs, as determined by its negotiated indirect cost rate agreement,
or eight percent of a modified total direct cost base, whichever
amount is less. Indirect costs in excess of the limit may not be
charged directly, used to satisfy matching or cost-sharing
requirements, or charged to another Federal award.

V. Application Review Information
Selection Criteria: The selection criteria for these competitions

application package.
VI. Award Administration Information
1. Award Notices: If your application is successful, we notify your
U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and send you a Grant Award
Notification (GAN). We may notify you informally, also.
If your application is not evaluated or not selected for funding,
we notify you.
2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements: We identify
administrative and national policy requirements in the application
package and reference these and other requirements in the Applicable
Regulations section of this notice.
We reference the regulations outlining the terms and conditions of
an award in the Applicable Regulations section of this notice and
include these and other specific conditions in the GAN. The GAN also
incorporates your approved application as part of your binding
commitments under the grant.
3. Reporting: At the end of your project period, you must submit a
final performance report, including financial information, as directed
by the Secretary. If you receive a multi-year award, you must submit an
annual performance report that provides the most current performance
and financial expenditure information as directed by the Secretary
under 34 CFR 75.118. The Secretary may also require more frequent
performance reports under 34 CFR 75.720(c). For specific requirements
on reporting, please go to http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/appforms/appforms.html.
4. Performance Measures: The Government Performance and Results Act
(GPRA) of 1993 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 the Rehabilitation Services Administration's (RSA)
Rehabilitation Training: Rehabilitation Long-Term Training program is
to increase the number of qualified VR personnel, including counselors
and other professional staff, working in State VR or related agencies.
At least 75 percent of all grant funds must be used for direct payment
of student scholarships.
Grantees are required to track current and former RSA scholars and
maintain accurate information on them from the time they are enrolled
in the program until they successfully meet their payback requirements.
Specifically, each grantee is required to maintain information on the
cumulative support granted to RSA scholars, scholar debt in years,
program completion date and reason for exit for each scholar, dates
each scholar's work begins and is completed to meet his or her payback
agreement, type of employment scholars attain, all current contact
information for scholars including home address, and the place of
employment of individual scholars.
Grantees are required to report annually to RSA on these data
elements using the RSA Grantee Reporting Form, OMB number 1820-0617, an
electronic reporting system supported by the RSA Management Information
System (RSA MIS). The RSA Grantee Reporting Form collects specific
data, including the number of RSA scholars entering the rehabilitation
workforce, the rehabilitation field each scholar enters, and the type
of employment setting each scholar chooses (e.g., State agency,
nonprofit service provider, or practice group). This form allows RSA to
measure results against the goal of increasing the number of qualified
VR personnel working in State VR and related agencies.
All Rehabilitation Long-Term Training grantees must also submit
information in their annual report that details their relationship with
State VR agencies including any information demonstrating articulation
agreements, internships for RSA scholars, or employment of program
graduates in the State VR agency.
