Opportunity Summary:
The Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program, Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Projects (CFDA 84.133P) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education, administered through the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research. The central goal of the program is to strengthen the national pipeline of high-level rehabilitation researchers by supporting structured, advanced research training and hands-on research experience for individuals who already hold doctorates or comparable advanced degrees and who also bring clinical or otherwise relevant professional experience. A key emphasis is building research capacity in areas that directly support the intent and practical implementation of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended), with the broader aim of improving how well rehabilitation services authorized under the Act work in real-world settings.
In practical terms, ARRT projects are designed to train advanced-level rehabilitation researchers, including researchers with disabilities. The training focus is not generic; it is meant to be tied to specific rehabilitation research domains where stronger evidence, better methods, or more effective translation into services can improve outcomes for people with disabilities. The opportunity description highlights that these projects should align with the Rehabilitation Act's objectives and contribute to improving the effectiveness of services and supports funded or guided by that law, which typically means an applied, outcomes-oriented approach to research training rather than purely theoretical work.
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education, including both private institutions and public or state-controlled colleges and universities. The funding opportunity was posted on December 11, 2009, with applications made available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was February 9, 2010 (with the archive date listed as March 11, 2010). The Department anticipated making about four awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $600,000. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $150,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the financial barrier for eligible universities to apply.
Applications under CFDA 84.133P had to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education's e-Application system, accessible via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice is explicit that applicants should not email an electronic copy of the application to the agency; instead, applicants complete and submit the application in the electronic system, where entered information is stored in a database. Because the text provided is a synopsis, it repeatedly directs applicants to the official Federal Register notice for authoritative requirements, including detailed eligibility rules, any priorities, performance measures, submission instructions, and program contacts.
