Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education through the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) under CFDA 84.133B. It supports a Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) focused specifically on understanding how individual-level characteristics are related to employment outcomes for people with disabilities. In practical terms, the project is meant to generate rigorous research and usable guidance that can improve how rehabilitation-related services (authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended) help individuals with disabilities prepare for, obtain, and sustain employment. The RRTC mechanism emphasizes not only research, but also training, technical assistance, and broad dissemination so that the findings reach rehabilitation professionals, service systems, people with disabilities, and their families or authorized representatives.
The program goal is to improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation services by supporting advanced work in priority problem areas identified by NIDRR. For this competition, that priority area is the relationship between individual characteristics and employment outcomes, which could include factors such as functional limitations, education and training background, work history, demographic factors, disability type, and other personal or contextual variables at the individual level. The expectation is that the funded center will produce knowledge and tools that rehabilitation providers and related stakeholders can apply to strengthen employment-related interventions, policy, and service delivery, rather than producing research that stays only in academic settings.
The competition anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $850,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated in the synopsis, which means applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed under education, consistent with the training and dissemination functions that RRTCs are expected to carry out alongside research.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and public or private agencies (including for-profit agencies), public or private organizations (including for-profit organizations), institutions of higher education (IHEs), and Indian tribes and tribal organizations. The synopsis notes that details and any clarifications are contained in the official Federal Register application notice, which is the controlling source for eligibility rules, requirements, and selection criteria.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education electronic grant system (e-Application) accessed via the Department's e-Grants site. The helpdesk number provided for technical assistance with the electronic submission system is 1-888-336-8930. Key dates listed include applications becoming available on April 23, 2010, and an original/current closing date of June 22, 2010. An archive date of July 22, 2010 is also provided, indicating when the posting would be archived after the competition window.
For applicants needing assistance or more information, the notice lists contacts at the Department of Education. Joyce Mays, Management Analyst, is provided as a point of contact (202-245-6122; joyce.mays@ed.gov). The program manager is Donna Nangle, located at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20202, with a telephone number of (202) 245-7462. The synopsis also emphasizes that the Federal Register notice is the official version and points readers to free online access to Federal Register materials through GPO Access.
