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 Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Program and, in this specific competition, focuses on the topic area of Health and Function under CFDA 84.133P-4. The broader program sits within the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program, which supports research, demonstrations, training, and related activities (including international work) aimed at improving outcomes for people with disabilities, particularly those with the most severe disabilities. The underlying policy goal is to develop and validate methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that increase inclusion and integration across society, employment, independent living, family supports, and economic and social self-sufficiency, while also improving the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended).
The ARRT program itself is specifically designed to build the next generation of rehabilitation researchers by providing advanced research training and hands-on research experience to individuals who already hold doctorates or similar advanced degrees and who also bring clinical or otherwise relevant professional experience. A key emphasis is training researchers in areas that directly support the objectives and implementation of the Rehabilitation Act and that strengthen the evidence base behind rehabilitation services. The notice also highlights that ARRT projects are expected to train rehabilitation researchers with disabilities as well, reflecting an intent to build a research workforce that includes lived experience and perspectives from the disability community.
Administratively, this announcement was one of three separate ARRT competitions listed in the same Federal Register notice (CFDA numbers 84.133P-1, 84.133P-3, and 84.133P-4), with applicants instructed to pay close attention to the competition they are applying to and to search Grants.gov by the CFDA number without the letter suffix (search 84.133 rather than 84.133P). Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the downloadable application package for the relevant competition; email submissions were not allowed. The official and controlling requirements are those published in the Federal Register notice, and applicants were directed there for specifics such as eligibility details, application and pre-application requirements, priorities, performance measures, and contact information.
For FY 2014, this Health and Function competition anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000 and an award ceiling of $150,000. No cost sharing or matching was required. Eligible applicants were institutions of higher education (IHEs), including public/state-controlled and private institutions, with the eligibility field emphasizing IHEs as the core applicant type.
Key dates in the announcement included an application availability date of February 14, 2014, and a deadline for transmittal of applications of April 14, 2014. The notice also offered an optional pre-application engagement opportunity: a pre-application meeting held March 6, 2014, accessible by conference call, where interested parties could receive information and technical assistance from NIDRR staff. In addition, NIDRR staff offered individual consultation by telephone later the same day. The record also notes a published correction to earlier information, clarifying that the correct closing date in the Federal Register table entries should read April 14, 2014 (not February 13, 2014).
Finally, the opportunity listing provides practical points of contact for technical and program questions. Technical Grants.gov and systems issues were routed to the Department of Education Grants.gov support contact, while programmatic questions were directed to the program manager, Marlene Spencer, at the U.S. Department of Education. For anyone trying to understand the exact expectations for an ARRT Health and Function proposal, the notice repeatedly emphasizes that the Federal Register publication is the definitive source for the full set of requirements, review criteria, and priority language.
