Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education through the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) under the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program. The specific competition is for Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRPs) focused on Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems Centers (TBIMS), listed under CFDA 84.133A-5 (searchable on Grants.gov as 84.133 without the letter suffix). The overall goal is to support research and related activities that strengthen rehabilitation outcomes and improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
At the program level, the Department describes the purpose as funding research, demonstration projects, training, and related efforts (including international activities) that lead to better methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies. The larger emphasis is on maximizing full inclusion and integration of people with disabilities into society, with practical outcomes like employment, independent living, family support, and greater economic and social self-sufficiency. A recurring priority throughout the description is serving individuals with the most severe disabilities and producing work that improves real-world rehabilitation services, not just academic knowledge.
Within that broader program, DRRPs are framed as projects designed to improve Rehabilitation Act services by developing and advancing approaches that increase independent living and employment outcomes for people with disabilities, again with special attention to those with the most severe disabilities. The notice highlights that DRRPs may conduct one or more activities defined in federal regulations (34 CFR 350.13 through 350.19), including research, training, demonstration, development, dissemination, utilization, and technical assistance. In other words, this funding is meant for centers and projects that not only generate evidence and innovations, but also help move those innovations into practice through outreach, training, and support to the field.
Administratively, applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov using the Grants.gov Apply workflow. Applicants were expected to download the application package, complete it offline, and upload it for submission; emailing applications to the agency was not permitted. The Funding Opportunity Number is ED-GRANTS-061112-001. The posting date and application availability were June 11, 2012, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was August 10, 2012, with the opportunity later archived on September 9, 2012. The agency also scheduled a pre-application meeting on July 2, 2012, offered by conference call, along with the option for individual telephone consultations with NIDRR staff later that same day, to help applicants understand requirements and prepare competitive submissions.
The funding details presented in the synopsis indicate an estimated total of $7,000,000 with an anticipated 16 awards, and an award ceiling of $447,500. The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant within the education funding activity category, and it includes a cost sharing or matching requirement (meaning applicants needed to provide some form of non-federal contribution, as specified in the official notice).
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private entities. The synopsis lists potential eligible applicant types such as state governments, local governments (including counties, cities, townships, and special districts), public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), independent school districts, Indian tribes and tribal organizations (including federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations), and other categories as clarified in the official notice. In the detailed eligibility statement, it also emphasizes that eligible applicants include states and public or private agencies and organizations, including for-profit entities, institutions of higher education, and Indian tribes and tribal organizations.
For support and official guidance, the opportunity directs applicants to rely on the Federal Register notice as the authoritative source for priorities, performance measures, submission requirements, and other conditions. Contact points are provided for both technical access issues and programmatic questions. Julius Cotton is listed as the Grants.gov/FIND systems administrator contact for difficulty accessing the announcement. Program manager contacts for content-related questions and pre-application arrangements are Lynn Medley and Marlene Spencer at the U.S. Department of Education, with phone numbers and email addresses included in the notice.
