I was wrong with the assumption that longtable allowed a separate  
header definition, so instead of one make two tables:

%\begin{longtable}{@{\rule[-6.75ex]{0ex}{15ex}}|m{60mm}!{\color{orange} 
\vline}m{80mm}|}
\begin{longtable}{|m{.5\textwidth}!{\color{orange}\vline}m{. 
675\textwidth}|}\hline
\rowcolor[gray]{.93}
\textbf{Time Period} & \textbf{Research Items} \\\hline
\end{longtable}\vspace*{-5.25ex}
\begin{longtable}{@{\rule[-6.75ex]{0ex}{15ex}}|m{.5\textwidth}! 
{\color{orange}\vline}m{.675\textwidth}|}
June 2011 -- December 2011    & Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah  
BlahBlah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah BlahBlah Blah Blah Blah Blah  
Blah Blah Blah \\\hline
December 2011 -- January 2012 & Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah  
BlahBlah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah BlahBlah Blah Blah Blah Blah  
Blah Blah BlahBlah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah \\\hline
January 2012 -- March 2012    & Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah  
BlahBlah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah\\\hline
\end{longtable}

(I prefer the \hline's at the lines' ends to be able to insert  
rectangular regions of text – or to remove them. And also vertically  
lined up &'s, when there's more than three or four of them.)
