Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Program - Health and Function | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Program - Health and Function is a federal discretionary grant opportunity administered by HHS through the Administration for Community Living (ACL), specifically the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). It sits under the broader Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program, which supports research, demonstration projects, training, and related efforts (including international activities) aimed at strengthening disability and rehabilitation outcomes. At its core, the larger program is designed to advance methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that help people with disabilities, particularly those with the most significant disabilities, achieve fuller inclusion and integration in society. That includes better access to employment, independent living, family support, and greater economic and social self-sufficiency, along with improvements in the effectiveness of rehabilitation and related services.

Within that larger mission, this ARRT competition focuses on building the next generation of high-level disability and rehabilitation researchers. The program funds advanced research training and mentored research experience for individuals who already hold doctorates or comparable advanced degrees and who also bring clinical or other directly relevant professional experience. The intent is not entry-level education, but rather specialized, advanced preparation that helps trainees become capable of leading rigorous research programs. A key emphasis is on multidisciplinary research training, reflecting the reality that disability and rehabilitation research often spans clinical practice, engineering and assistive technology, behavioral and social sciences, health services research, and policy.

This specific ARRT opportunity targets NIDILRRs major domain of "health and function," meaning the training should be organized around research that can measurably improve health outcomes, functioning, participation, and quality of life for people with disabilities. Projects are expected to train rehabilitation researchers, including researchers with disabilities, and to pay particular attention to research areas that support the goals and implementation of the Rehabilitation Act. In practical terms, that means the training and research experiences supported by the grant should align with federal disability policy priorities and contribute evidence that can improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act.

Eligibility for applicants is limited to institutions of higher education, including both public/state-controlled universities and private universities. The funding instrument is a grant, categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, with CFDA number 93.433. The opportunity number is HHS-2016-ACL-NIDILRR-AR-0149. The award ceiling listed is $150,000, and the opportunity anticipated making one award. The original and current application closing date was May 16, 2016, and the notice was posted on March 17, 2016.
