Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), through the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). It is part of the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program and, in this specific competition, it focuses on the Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Program in the employment domain (CFDA 84.133P-4). The broader program goal is to support research, training, demonstrations, and related activities that improve rehabilitation methods, procedures, and technologies so that people with disabilities, especially those with the most severe disabilities, can achieve fuller inclusion and integration in society. That includes better outcomes in employment, independent living, family support, and overall economic and social self-sufficiency, while also improving the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
Within that larger framework, the ARRT program is specifically designed to develop the next generation of rehabilitation researchers. The emphasis is on providing advanced research training and hands-on research experience for individuals who already have doctorates or comparable advanced degrees and who bring clinical or other relevant professional experience. The projects funded under ARRT are expected to train rehabilitation researchers, including researchers with disabilities, and to align that training with practical research areas that directly support the objectives and implementation of the Rehabilitation Act. For this competition, the topical emphasis is employment, one of the three main research domains highlighted in NIDRRs Long Range Plan for Fiscal Years 2013-2017 (the other domains are community living and participation, and health and function). In other words, the intent is not just academic research training in the abstract, but research capacity-building that leads to better evidence, better interventions, and better systems that improve employment outcomes for people with disabilities.
The notice indicates that this announcement actually covers three separate ARRT competitions (CFDA 84.133P-1, 84.133P-4, and 84.133P-5), and applicants must make sure they are applying under the correct one. For the employment-focused competition (84.133P-4), the expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000 and an award ceiling of $150,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education (IHEs), including private institutions of higher education and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education.
The application process is electronic only and must be completed through Grants.gov. Applicants are expected to locate the correct application package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix (so, search for 84.133 rather than 84.133P). The notice stresses that applications cannot be submitted by emailing an electronic copy to the Department; submission must go through Grants.gov. Key dates in the announcement include an application availability date of June 11, 2013, a pre-application meeting on July 2, 2013 (held by conference call, with additional time the same day for individual technical assistance consultations by phone), and a deadline for transmittal of applications of August 12, 2013. The posting also includes contact points for technical help with accessing the announcement and for program-related questions, including the program manager.
Because the description provided is a synopsis of the official Federal Register notice, the announcement repeatedly advises applicants to rely on the Federal Register version for the authoritative requirements. That is where applicants would find the full set of rules on eligibility details, required application components, priorities, performance measures, submission instructions, and other compliance expectations that would govern how an ARRT employment-focused training proposal must be designed and evaluated.
