Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education, through the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), and it funds a Disability Rehabilitation Research Project (DRRP) focused on creating a Center on Knowledge Translation (KT) for Employment Research. The overall DRRP program exists to strengthen the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended). In practical terms, the program is meant to build and spread better evidence, methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that improve independent living and employment outcomes for people with disabilities, with a clear emphasis on individuals with the most severe disabilities. Within that larger mission, this particular competition supports a single Center that concentrates on knowledge translation for employment research, meaning it is designed to help move research findings into real-world practice, policy, and service delivery so that employment-related rehabilitation knowledge is easier to find, understand, and use.
The notice explains that DRRPs can carry out a range of allowable activities laid out in federal regulations (34 CFR 350.13 through 350.19). Those activities include research, training, demonstration, development, dissemination, utilization, and technical assistance. Put simply, the funded Center is expected not only to generate or organize knowledge, but also to actively help stakeholders apply it. A key compliance requirement is that applicants must show, in whole or in part, how they will address the needs of individuals with disabilities from minority backgrounds (34 CFR 350.40(a)), using approaches described in 34 CFR 350.40(b). This makes equity and outreach to underserved groups a required part of the project design rather than an optional add-on.
From a funding and competition standpoint, the opportunity is a discretionary grant with one expected award. The estimated total funding is $650,000, and the award ceiling is also $650,000. Cost sharing or matching is required, which means applicants need to plan for non-federal contributions consistent with the official notice requirements. The CFDA program listing is 84.133 (often displayed with an alpha suffix for the specific competition, here referenced as 84.133A-5), and the administering entity is NIDRR under the Department of Education.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and public or private agencies and organizations, including for-profit entities; institutions of higher education (public, state-controlled, and private); and Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations. The detailed eligibility list also reflects many common government and nonprofit categories (such as county and city governments, special districts, independent school districts, public housing authorities, and nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status). Anyone considering applying would still need to rely on the official Federal Register notice for the final, controlling eligibility rules and any special conditions.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. Applicants were required to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number without the alpha suffix (search “84.133,†not “84.133Aâ€). The process described is the standard Grants.gov workflow: download the application package, complete it offline, and upload it for submission; applications could not be submitted by emailing an electronic copy directly to the agency. Key dates included a posted and application-availability date of July 12, 2010, a pre-application meeting on July 22, 2010 (offered by conference call plus later individual consultation times the same afternoon), and a deadline for transmittal of applications of August 26, 2010. The funding opportunity number is ED-GRANTS-071210-001, and the program falls under the “Education†funding activity category.
For technical help with accessing the full announcement or using the electronic system, the contact listed is Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov/FIND Systems Admin) at 202-245-6140 and julius.cotton@ed.gov. The program contact and manager for content-related questions is Lynn Medley at the U.S. Department of Education, Potomac Center Plaza, Room 5140, with phone number 202-245-7338 and email lynn.medley@ed.gov. The notice repeatedly stresses that the synopsis is not a substitute for the official Federal Register application notice, which contains the authoritative details on application requirements, submission instructions, performance measures, priorities, and other program conditions.
