Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a discretionary federal grant competition for a Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) under CFDA 84.133B (searchable in Grants.gov as 84.133 without the letter suffix). It sits within the broader Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program, which funds research, demonstrations, training, and related activities (including international work) aimed at improving rehabilitation methods, procedures, and technology. The overarching program goal is to increase the full inclusion and integration of people with disabilities in society, with an emphasis on employment, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficiency, particularly for individuals with the most severe disabilities. A parallel goal is to strengthen the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
The specific competition described here is for an RRTC focused on “Self-Directed Care to Promote Recovery, Health, and Wellness for Individuals with Serious Mental Illness.†In practical terms, that means the funded center is expected to generate and share evidence, training, and technical know-how related to models of self-directed care for people with serious mental illness, with the intention of supporting recovery-oriented outcomes and improving health and wellness. As an RRTC, the award is intended to support a center-style approach that typically combines research with training and knowledge translation so that findings and tools are usable by systems, providers, and communities.
The opportunity was posted June 26, 2015, with applications made available the same day. Key dates included a pre-application meeting on July 17, 2015, a notice of intent to apply due July 31, 2015, and an application submission deadline of August 25, 2015 (the same date listed as the original and current closing date). The program planned to make 1 award, with an estimated total funding amount of $875,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this competition.
Eligibility is broad and includes states; public or private agencies (including for-profit agencies); public or private organizations (including for-profit organizations); institutions of higher education; and Indian tribes and tribal organizations.
