Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education, within the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), through the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). It falls under the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program and is listed under CFDA 84.133 (specifically referenced as 84.133G 1 in the posting). The overall intent is to fund disability and rehabilitation research projects and related center activities, as described in the official Federal Register notice. The summary provided in the listing is only a synopsis, and applicants are directed to rely on the Federal Register version as the authoritative source for requirements, priorities, and application instructions.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Education. The competition anticipated making about 20 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $4,000,000. Individual awards were capped at an award ceiling of $200,000. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect they will need to document non-federal contributions consistent with the official notice.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and a wide range of organizations. Eligible applicants include state governments; public and private agencies (including for-profit agencies); public and private organizations (including for-profit organizations); institutions of higher education (IHEs), including public and state-controlled IHEs; and Indian tribes and tribal organizations (including federally recognized tribal governments, as well as other tribal organizations). The listing also includes nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Because eligibility details can be nuanced, the posting repeatedly emphasizes checking the official application notice for the precise rules.
Key dates for this competition were tied to the 2008-2009 cycle. Applications became available on November 28, 2008, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was January 27, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on February 26, 2009, indicating it is not an open, current competition and is presented as a historical listing.
Applications were intended to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov rather than by email. Applicants were instructed to download the application package from Grants.gov, complete it offline, and upload it for submission through the Grants.gov Apply system. The notice stresses that applications could not be emailed to the Department. When searching on Grants.gov, applicants were told to search by the CFDA number without the alpha suffix (for example, search for 84.133 rather than 84.133G). For technical help with Grants.gov, the listing provides the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726 and support@grants.gov.
For official reference materials, applicants were directed to the Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations via GPO Access (as listed in the announcement).
