The program aims to provide financial assistance for academic training to address personnel shortages in vocational rehabilitation, with a primary objective of training professionals to support individuals with disabilities through advanced technology applications.

Eligible applicants include states, public or private nonprofit agencies, Indian Tribes, and higher education institutions. The application deadline is July 17, 2025, with applicants expected to develop innovative training approaches that address evolving technology labor markets and assistive technology needs.
The grant opportunity offers up to $175,000 per award, with an estimated 5 awards available for the fiscal year 2025. The project period can extend up to 60 months (5 years), providing substantial time for comprehensive training program development.
