Opportunity Summary:
The Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Projects opportunity (CFDA 84.133P) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education through the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research. Its core goal is to build the next generation of high-level rehabilitation researchers by funding advanced, structured research training and hands-on research experiences for people who already hold doctorates or comparable advanced degrees and who also bring clinical or otherwise relevant professional experience. The program explicitly includes and encourages the development of researchers with disabilities, and it emphasizes training that aligns with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended) by strengthening the evidence base for improving the effectiveness of rehabilitation services authorized under that law. In practice, these projects are meant to expand research capacity in rehabilitation by preparing experienced professionals to conduct rigorous studies in areas that directly support real-world implementation and outcomes.
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education, including public and state-controlled colleges and universities as well as private institutions of higher education. The award mechanism is a grant, and the competition does not require cost sharing or matching funds. For this particular posting, the Department anticipated making about four awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $600,000 and a maximum award size (ceiling) of $150,000. The funding activity category is listed under education, reflecting the program’s emphasis on advanced training and workforce development within rehabilitation research rather than direct service delivery.
Applications were made available on September 11, 2008, with a deadline for transmittal of applications on November 10, 2008, and an archive date of December 10, 2008. Submission was intended to occur electronically through Grants.gov, using the downloadable application package associated with the competition. Applicants were instructed to search by the CFDA number without the alpha suffix (search for 84.133 rather than 84.133P). The notice also makes clear that applications could not be submitted by emailing an electronic copy to the agency; submission needed to go through the official Grants.gov process, which involves downloading the package, completing it offline, and uploading it back through the portal.
The announcement stresses that the summary provided is only a synopsis and that the authoritative requirements appear in the official Federal Register notice. That official notice is where applicants would find the detailed eligibility language, required application contents, pre-application and application procedures, performance measures, program priorities, and the full set of submission and compliance rules. For access, it points applicants to the Government Publishing Office resources for the Federal Register and relevant regulations. For help with Grants.gov technical issues, the listing provides the Grants.gov Helpdesk contact information, and it also identifies agency contacts, including a system administrator (Julius Cotton) and the program manager (Marlene Spencer), with phone numbers and email addresses for applicant questions and troubleshooting.
