this program.
    In order to provide all applicants with a revised Dear Colleague

competition is July 27, 2005.

(applications must be received by the Electronic Grant Application

available in the application package. Applications for grants under 
the Rehabilitation Short-Term Training--Client Assistance Program 
must be submitted electronically using the Electronic Grant 
Application System (e-Application) available through the 
Department's e-Grants system. You may not e-mail an electronic copy 
of a grant application to us. For information about how to submit 
your application electronically, please refer to section IV.6.
