Opportunity Summary:
The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) National Network Collaborative Research Project (CFDA 84.133A-8) is a grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education through the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). It sits within the broader Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program, which funds work meant to strengthen disability-related policy and practice by supporting research, training, demonstrations, development, dissemination, utilization, and technical assistance activities. The overall program purpose is to develop and test methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that help people with disabilities, especially those with the most severe disabilities, achieve fuller inclusion in society across employment, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficiency, while also improving the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended).
This particular competition is framed as a Disability and Rehabilitation Research Project (DRRP) aligned with the ADA National Network, meaning it is geared toward producing practical, usable knowledge that can improve disability services and outcomes in real-world settings. DRRPs are expected to contribute to better independent living and employment outcomes by generating evidence, tools, strategies, or technical assistance approaches that can be adopted by service systems and stakeholders. A notable program requirement is that applicants must explain how their proposed work will address, in whole or in part, the needs of individuals with disabilities from minority backgrounds, consistent with federal regulations (34 CFR 350.40). In other words, proposals are expected to show clear attention to equity and relevance for diverse disability communities, not just broad population-level impacts.
Eligibility is narrow: each applicant must already be a current ADA National Network Regional Center grantee. This is designed as a collaborative research effort within the existing ADA National Network infrastructure rather than an open competition for new organizations. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should be prepared to document the required non-federal contribution as described in the official Federal Register notice.
Funding details in the listing indicate one expected award with an estimated total funding amount and maximum award ceiling of $615,250. The opportunity was posted January 31, 2012, with applications available the same day and a deadline for transmittal of applications of April 2, 2012 (with an archive date of May 2, 2012). The funding activity category is listed as Education, reflecting the Department of Education’s administration of NIDRR programs and the focus on research and technical assistance that supports learning, participation, and access.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the downloadable application package found by searching the CFDA number without the alpha suffix (search 84.133 rather than 84.133A). The notice emphasizes that applications cannot be emailed to the agency and must go through the Grants.gov submission process. For help accessing the announcement or navigating the electronic submission systems, the listing provides a Grants.gov systems contact (Julius Cotton) and identifies program managers (Lynn Medley and Marlene Spencer) at the U.S. Department of Education for program-specific questions. For the exact priorities, required components, performance measures, and submission requirements, applicants are directed to rely on the official Federal Register application notice as the controlling source.
