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 offered by the U.S. Department of Education through the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research. Its core purpose is to build the next generation of high-level rehabilitation researchers by providing advanced research training and hands-on experience to individuals who already hold doctorates or comparable advanced degrees and who also bring relevant clinical or professional experience. A specific emphasis is placed on supporting and developing researchers with disabilities, while steering training toward research topics that help carry out the goals of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended) and strengthen the effectiveness of programs and services authorized under that law.
The funding announcement describes a relatively small, competitive cohort of awards. The program anticipated making about four awards, with an estimated total funding level of $600,000. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can reduce the financial barrier for institutions that want to host a structured research training project. While the training is aimed at individual researchers (fellows/trainees), the eligible applicants that can apply for the grant are institutions of higher education, meaning universities and similar postsecondary entities are the organizations expected to propose, administer, and operate the training projects.
The application process is strictly electronic and must be submitted through Grants.gov rather than by email or direct electronic delivery to the agency. Applicants are instructed to locate the package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix (search for 84.133 rather than 84.133P). The application package can be downloaded, completed offline, and then uploaded for submission through Grants.gov. For technical submission issues, the announcement directs applicants to the Grants.gov Support Desk at 1 (800) 518-4726.
Key dates in the posted opportunity indicate it was made available at the end of 2011 and was due in early 2012. Applications were available December 30, 2011, the opportunity was posted January 3, 2012, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was February 28, 2012 (with an archive date of March 29, 2012). The funding opportunity number associated with the notice is ED-GRANTS-123011-001, and the activity category is listed under education.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help beyond Grants.gov technical support, the announcement lists agency contacts. Joyce Mays is identified as a management analyst (202-245-6122, joyce.mays@ed.gov) for access issues related to the full announcement. Program manager contacts are also provided: Lynn Medley (202-245-7338, Lynn.Medley@ed.gov) and Marlene Spencer (202-245-7532) at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, DC. These contacts suggest the agency expected applicants to communicate with designated staff for programmatic questions and clarifications while keeping the formal submission channel limited to Grants.gov.
