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 supports the establishment or operation of a Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) with a specific emphasis on research and capacity building for minority-serving entities. The overall program purpose is to plan and carry out research, demonstration projects, training, and related activities (including international work when relevant) that improve methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technology. The intended impact is to maximize full inclusion and integration of people with disabilities in society, employment, independent living, family life, and economic and social self-sufficiency, with particular attention to 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.
Eligibility is narrowly limited by statute. Applicants must qualify as a minority entity or an Indian tribe as authorized by section 21(b)(2)(A) of the Rehabilitation Act. The notice further explains that "minority entity" includes historically Black colleges and universities (as defined in the Higher Education Act), Hispanic-serving institutions of higher education, American Indian tribal colleges or universities, and other institutions of higher education where minority student enrollment is at least 50 percent. In practice, this means the competition is designed to build and expand research and training capacity within institutions that primarily serve minority populations, rather than being open to all universities, nonprofits, or state agencies.
The opportunity was posted June 14, 2013, with applications made available the same day. A pre-application meeting was scheduled for July 5, 2013. The deadline for transmittal of applications was August 13, 2013, and the opportunity was later archived September 4, 2013. NIDRR anticipated making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $875,000. The listing indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov using the Grants.gov Apply workflow. Applicants were instructed to locate the correct application package by searching the CFDA number without the alpha suffix (search 84.133 rather than 84.133B). The posting also provided the Grants.gov Helpdesk contact information (1-800-518-4726 and support@grants.gov) for technical submission issues, reflecting the common federal requirement that electronic submission problems be routed through Grants.gov support.
Key administrative identifiers included Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-061413-002 and CFDA 84.133 (with the competition referenced as 84.133B in the title). The awarding agency is the Department of Education, and the activity category is Education. For applicants needing assistance beyond Grants.gov, the notice listed agency contacts including a management analyst (Joyce Mays, 202-245-6122, joyce.mays@ed.gov) and a program manager (Marlene Spencer, 202-245-7532), both at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, DC. For exact program priorities, selection criteria, required project components, page limits, and other binding requirements, the synopsis emphasizes that the official and controlling source is the Federal Register application notice.
