Opportunity Summary:
The Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Program - Employment is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (HHS-ACL), through the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). It sits under the broader Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program (CFDA 93.433), which supports research, demonstration projects, training, and related activities meant to strengthen disability and rehabilitation outcomes nationwide. The larger program emphasis is on developing and testing methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that help people with disabilities, especially those with the most significant disabilities, participate fully in society through better employment opportunities, independent living, family support, and greater economic and social self-sufficiency, while also improving the effectiveness of rehabilitation and related services.
Within that larger framework, the ARRT program is specifically focused on advanced research training. Its purpose is to provide intensive research training and practical experience to individuals who already hold a doctorate or a comparable advanced degree and who also bring clinical or otherwise relevant professional experience. The intent is not introductory workforce development, but rather the cultivation of highly skilled disability and rehabilitation researchers who are ready to lead high-quality work in the field. A notable emphasis is placed on training rehabilitation researchers with disabilities as part of strengthening representation and expertise within the research community.
The specific topic area for this competition is employment, identified as one of NIDILRR's major domains. Funded projects are expected to deliver advanced, multidisciplinary training that strengthens fellows' ability to design, conduct, and disseminate rigorous disability and rehabilitation research that improves employment-related outcomes for people with disabilities. The training should align with and support the implementation and objectives of the Rehabilitation Act, and it should contribute to improving the effectiveness of services authorized under the Act. In practice, that means the project is expected to prepare trainees to produce research that can inform programs, policy, service delivery models, and interventions tied to vocational rehabilitation and broader employment participation for individuals with disabilities.
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education, including public and state-controlled universities as well as private universities. The opportunity was issued as Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2016-ACL-NIDILRR-AR-0150, posted March 17, 2016, with an application closing date of May 16, 2016. The anticipated funding level listed an award ceiling of $150,000, with one award expected. Overall, this competition is aimed at building a pipeline of advanced researchers who can strengthen the evidence base around disability employment and improve the real-world impact and effectiveness of rehabilitation services and supports.
