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 the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program. It specifically supports a Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC) focused on Universal Interfaces and Information Technology Access, meaning the funded center is expected to carry out research and development aimed at improving access to information and technology for people with disabilities through better interface design, accessibility approaches, and related rehabilitation engineering innovations. The announcement notes that the summary provided is only a synopsis, and that applicants should rely on the official Federal Register notice for complete requirements, selection criteria, and other authoritative details.
The opportunity is identified in Grants.gov as Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-061413-003 and is associated with CFDA 84.133 (often shown with an alpha suffix for this specific topic area, but applicants are instructed to search Grants.gov using only 84.133, not 84.133E). The program anticipates making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $925,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility is broad and includes states, public or private agencies, public or private organizations (including for-profit entities), institutions of higher education, and Indian tribes or tribal organizations. In practice, this means universities, nonprofits, companies, state agencies, and tribal entities can all potentially apply, as long as they meet the detailed eligibility conditions laid out in the Federal Register notice. Because the synopsis points to the official notice for specifics, applicants would need to confirm any additional requirements there (for example, any expectations about partnerships, center structure, scope of work, or demonstrated capacity to conduct rehabilitation engineering research).
All applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov using the governmentwide Grants.gov Apply system. Applicants are directed to download the application package from Grants.gov by searching the CFDA number (84.133) and to follow the electronic submission process. The Grants.gov Helpdesk is listed for technical support at 1-800-518-4726 and support@grants.gov, which is the standard resource for issues such as registration, form errors, submission confirmation, and system access problems.
Key dates in the posting show the notice was posted on June 14, 2013, with applications made available the same day. A pre-application meeting is referenced for July 5, 2013. The deadline for transmittal of applications (the final submission deadline) is August 13, 2013, and the archive date is September 4, 2013, indicating when the opportunity would be removed from active listing after the competition period. The opportunity is categorized under the Education funding activity category and uses the standard grant funding instrument type.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement or clarifying administrative details, the notice provides agency contacts: Joyce Mays (Management Analyst) at 202-245-6122 and joyce.mays@ed.gov, and Program Manager Marlene Spencer at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 5133, Washington, DC 20202, telephone 202-245-7532, with email contact indicated in the announcement.
