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 a discretionary grant competition under the Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Program focused on Employment, listed under CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) number 84.133P-3. The overall intent sits within the broader Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program, which supports research, demonstrations, training, and related activities that build better methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies. The long-range goal is to strengthen full inclusion and integration of people with disabilities into society, including employment, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficiency, with particular emphasis on individuals with the most severe disabilities. A related goal is improving the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
Within that larger framework, the ARRT program is specifically about building the next generation of rehabilitation researchers. The program is designed to provide advanced research training and practical research experience to individuals who already hold doctorates or comparable advanced degrees and who also bring clinical or other relevant professional experience. ARRT projects are expected to train rehabilitation researchers, including researchers with disabilities, and to concentrate on research areas that directly support the implementation and objectives of the Rehabilitation Act and help make Rehabilitation Act-funded services more effective. In other words, the training is not just academic; it is meant to produce researchers who can generate usable evidence and improvements that connect to real-world rehabilitation and employment outcomes.
This particular listing references that the Federal Register notice covered three separate ARRT competitions (CFDA numbers 84.133P-1, 84.133P-3, and 84.133P-4), with this opportunity being the Employment competition under 84.133P-3. Applicants were required to submit applications electronically through Grants.gov using the downloadable application package, completing it offline, and uploading it for submission. The notice emphasizes that applications could not be emailed to the Department. It also includes a practical instruction that when searching on Grants.gov, applicants should search using the base number (84.133) rather than including the alpha suffix (so not "84.133P").
Eligibility for this competition is limited to institutions of higher education (IHEs), including both public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The funding parameters described indicate one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000 and an award ceiling of $150,000. The opportunity indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically means applicants are not required to commit non-federal funds as a condition of the award (though they may still choose to leverage other resources in their project design).
Key dates in the synopsis show the application materials were made available February 14, 2014, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was April 14, 2014. The notice also describes a pre-application meeting held March 6, 2014, offered via conference call, along with optional individual consultation time with NIDRR staff later the same day. This kind of pre-application support is generally meant to help eligible applicants understand program expectations, application components, and submission mechanics. The text also notes a correction to the Federal Register document, clarifying that certain dates previously shown as February 13, 2014 should have read April 14, 2014, reinforcing April 14, 2014 as the correct closing date.
For official requirements, priorities, selection criteria, performance measures, and other compliance details, the synopsis repeatedly directs applicants to the official Federal Register application notice as the controlling document. It also provides points of contact for help: a Grants.gov systems contact (Julius Cotton, ED Grants.gov/FIND Systems Administrator) for technical access issues, and a program contact (Program Manager Marlene Spencer at the U.S. Department of Education) for substantive program questions. The opportunity is identified in the source data as Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-021314-003 and was posted February 14, 2014, with an archive date of May 14, 2014.
