Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Education, administered through the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), under the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Project (DRRP) program. The specific competition is titled "International Exchange of Knowledge and Experts in Disability and Rehabilitation Research" and is listed under CFDA 84.133A-6. In practical terms, it supports a project that strengthens disability and rehabilitation research by promoting international exchange of ideas and expertise, with the broader goal of improving real-world services and outcomes for people with disabilities in the United States.
The DRRP program itself is grounded in the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended) and focuses on making disability-related services more effective. The program emphasizes developing and advancing methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that expand independent living and employment outcomes, particularly for individuals with the most significant disabilities. DRRP projects can include a mix of activities defined in federal regulations (34 CFR 350.13 through 350.19), such as research, training, demonstration, development, dissemination, utilization, and technical assistance. In other words, the work funded is not limited to academic research alone; it can also include practical demonstrations, translating findings into usable tools or practices, and spreading evidence-based approaches so they are actually adopted.
A key requirement for applicants is showing how the proposed project will address, in whole or in part, the needs of individuals with disabilities from minority backgrounds (34 CFR 350.40(a)). The notice points applicants to acceptable ways of meeting this requirement in 34 CFR 350.40(b). This means proposals are expected to be intentional about inclusion and relevance across diverse communities, rather than treating equity considerations as an afterthought.
The competition was posted July 8, 2010, with applications available starting that same day. A pre-application meeting was scheduled for July 19, 2010, offered by conference call, along with optional one-on-one technical assistance consultations by phone with NIDRR staff later the same day. The application deadline (deadline for transmittal) was August 23, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on September 22, 2010. The estimated total funding amount for the competition was $400,000, with an award ceiling of $400,000, and the agency anticipated making one award. The listing also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected applicant would need to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with the program rules described in the official notice.
Eligibility is broad and includes states; public or private agencies; public or private organizations (including for-profit organizations); institutions of higher education (IHEs), both public and private; and Indian tribes and tribal organizations. The opportunity explicitly lists many common applicant types, including various levels of government, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and school districts, among others. Applicants are directed to rely on the official Federal Register notice for the authoritative eligibility rules and any additional conditions.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education's e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice stresses that applications could not be submitted by emailing an electronic copy; instead, applicants were required to enter information online, which would be saved in the department's database. For applicants needing support, the notice provides contacts for both technical access issues (the ED Grants.gov/FIND Systems administrator) and programmatic questions (the program manager, Marlene Spencer at the U.S. Department of Education).
Overall, the grant is designed to fund a single, relatively substantial project that advances disability and rehabilitation research through international exchange of knowledge and experts, while staying aligned with the DRRP program mission: producing usable research and innovations that improve independent living and employment outcomes, with explicit attention to the needs of people with disabilities from minority backgrounds. For the complete requirements, priorities, performance measures, and submission instructions, applicants were instructed to consult the official Federal Register notice, which serves as the controlling source for this competition.
