Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education's National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) under the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program. It focuses on Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRPs) with an emphasis on "Inclusive Cloud and Web Computing." The overarching goal of the program is to support research and related work that improves the lives of people with disabilities by developing better methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that promote full inclusion in society. That includes outcomes tied to employment, independent living, family support, and greater economic and social self-sufficiency, particularly for individuals with the most severe disabilities. In addition to creating new knowledge and tools, the program is also intended to strengthen the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
Within that broader program, DRRPs are positioned as project-based awards aimed at producing practical improvements in rehabilitation services and outcomes. Funded projects can involve one or more activity types defined in federal regulations (34 CFR 350.13 through 350.19), including research, training, demonstration, development, dissemination, utilization, and technical assistance. The notice also makes a specific point that applicants must show how their project will address, in whole or in part, the needs of individuals with disabilities from minority backgrounds, consistent with 34 CFR 350.40(a), with additional acceptable approaches described in 34 CFR 350.40(b). In other words, attention to equity and inclusion across disability and minority status is not optional; it is a required element of the application narrative.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under CFDA 84.133 (often referenced as 84.133A-1 in the notice context). Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and applicants were instructed to search using "84.133" (without the alpha suffix) to locate the correct application package. The agency explicitly noted that applications could not be submitted by email; applicants were expected to download the package, complete it offline, and upload it back through Grants.gov.
In terms of funding and scale, the opportunity anticipated making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $750,000 and an award ceiling of $750,000. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning the awardee would be expected to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with the program rules described in the official Federal Register notice and related program regulations.
Eligibility was broad and included states and public or private agencies and organizations, including for-profit entities. The eligibility list provided also referenced a wide range of potential applicants such as institutions of higher education (public and private), nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), small businesses, other for-profit organizations, local governments (city/township and county), school districts, special district governments, and Indian tribes and tribal organizations (including federally recognized tribes). The notice emphasizes that the definitive eligibility requirements and any nuances should be verified in the official Federal Register application notice.
Key dates for this competition were as follows: the opportunity was posted and applications became available on May 7, 2013, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was July 8, 2013 (with an archive date of August 7, 2013). The agency also offered a pre-application meeting on May 28, 2013, held by conference call from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Washington, DC time, with additional one-on-one telephone consultation availability from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. the same day. This was intended to provide technical assistance and clarify expectations for interested applicants.
For applicant support and contacts, the notice provided two main points of contact. For Grants.gov or electronic access issues, applicants could contact Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin) at 202-245-6288 or EducationGrantInquiries@ed.gov. For programmatic questions and participation in the pre-application meeting, the Program Manager was Marlene Spencer at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Potomac Center Plaza (PCP), Room 5133, Washington, DC 20202-2700, phone 202-245-7532, email marlene.spencer@ed.gov. The notice repeatedly stresses that the summary is only a synopsis and that applicants should rely on the official Federal Register notice for complete requirements, performance measures, priorities, and submission instructions.
