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 a National Data and Statistical Center for the Burn Model Systems (often referred to as the National BMS Data Center) and is listed under CFDA number 84.133A-4 (when searching in Grants.gov, applicants are instructed to search using 84.133 without the letter suffix). The overall intent of the broader program is to support research, demonstration, training, and related activities that improve disability and rehabilitation outcomes, with a strong emphasis on maximizing community inclusion, employment, independent living, family support, and long-term economic and social self-sufficiency for people with disabilities, particularly those with the most severe disabilities. The program also aims to strengthen the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
Within that larger framework, the opportunity sits under the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRPs) component, which funds work designed to improve rehabilitation services by developing and testing methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that expand independent living and employment outcomes. DRRPs are allowed to undertake a range of activity types defined in federal regulations (34 CFR 350.13 through 350.19), including research, training, demonstration, development, dissemination, utilization, and technical assistance. In practical terms, this particular award is intended to support a national-level data and statistics function tied to the Burn Model Systems, meaning the funded entity would be expected to manage, support, and advance data collection and statistical capacity that can inform burn rehabilitation research and service improvement across the system.
The competition is a discretionary grant with an expected number of awards of one, meaning it is structured to fund a single national center rather than multiple projects. The estimated total funding available is $350,000, and the listed award ceiling is also $350,000. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should be prepared to document how they will meet that requirement as part of their submission (the exact match rules and documentation expectations are typically detailed in the official Federal Register notice rather than the summary). The funding activity category is listed as Education, consistent with the Department of Education administering the program.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and public or private agencies and organizations, including for-profit organizations, institutions of higher education (IHEs), and Indian tribes and tribal organizations. The opportunity also lists many common government and nonprofit categories as potentially eligible, such as local governments and nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), along with public and state-controlled or private IHEs. Because the synopsis repeatedly notes that the Federal Register notice is the controlling document, applicants are expected to confirm eligibility details and any additional constraints or clarifications directly in the official application notice.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the downloadable application package found by searching for CFDA 84.133 (not 84.133A). The notice emphasizes that applications cannot be submitted by email. Key dates included an application availability date of June 7, 2012, a pre-application meeting on June 28, 2012, and a deadline for transmittal of applications of August 6, 2012 (with the archive date listed as September 5, 2012). The pre-application support was set up as a conference call session with NIDRR staff, followed by a separate window the same day for individual telephone consultations to provide technical assistance and answer questions about the competition.
For applicant support and contacts, the notice points to both technical and programmatic points of contact. For problems accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin) at 202-245-6140 and julius.cotton@ed.gov. Programmatic questions and pre-application meeting arrangements were directed to Lynn Medley (202-245-7338, Lynn.Medley@ed.gov) or Marlene Spencer (202-245-7532, Marlene.Spencer@ed.gov) at the Department of Education offices in Washington, DC. The summary also repeatedly advises applicants to rely on the Federal Register notice for the definitive requirements, including priorities, performance measures, submission instructions, and other compliance details that typically determine how applications are evaluated and what the funded center must deliver.
