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 supports the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program, specifically a Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) focused on promoting healthy aging for individuals with long-term physical disabilities. The broader program purpose is to plan and carry out research, demonstration projects, training, and related activities (including international work when relevant) that produce better methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies. The overall emphasis is on outcomes that maximize inclusion and integration in society, employment, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficiency for people with disabilities, with particular attention to individuals with the most severe disabilities. Another central aim is improving the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
Within that larger mission, the RRTC mechanism is meant to translate advanced work into practice by combining research with training, technical assistance, and dissemination in targeted problem areas identified by NIDRR. In practical terms, an RRTC is expected to generate new knowledge (through rigorous research), build the capacity of the field (through training and technical assistance to service providers and other stakeholders), and actively share usable findings and tools (through dissemination activities). The intended beneficiaries are not only individuals with disabilities, but also rehabilitation service providers and the family members or other authorized representatives who support people with disabilities. This particular competition centers on healthy aging among people who have long-term physical disabilities, signaling a focus on health, function, participation, and service effectiveness as people with disabilities grow older.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant competition (Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-060713-001) in the education funding activity category. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $875,000 and an award ceiling of $875,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching. Eligible applicants were broadly defined and included states and units of government, public and private agencies and organizations (including for-profit entities), institutions of higher education (public or private), and Indian tribes and tribal organizations. The listing also referenced a wide range of applicant types commonly used in federal eligibility categories, such as nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), local governments, special district governments, school districts, small businesses, and others, with the official Federal Register notice serving as the controlling source for any nuances or additional eligibility conditions.
The application process required electronic submission through Grants.gov rather than email submission. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number 84.133 (without the alpha suffix, meaning search 84.133 rather than 84.133B). Applications became available on June 7, 2013, and the deadline for transmittal was August 6, 2013, with the opportunity later archived on September 5, 2013. To help applicants prepare, NIDRR offered a pre-application meeting on June 28, 2013, held by conference call from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Washington, DC time, followed by individual consultation availability by phone from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. the same day, providing a channel for technical assistance and clarification prior to submission.
For official requirements, performance measures, priorities, and detailed submission instructions, the opportunity repeatedly emphasized that applicants must rely on the Federal Register notice as the authoritative version. The notice also provided contact points for help: a Grants.gov systems administrator contact (Julius Cotton, 202-245-6288, EducationGrantInquiries@ed.gov) for access or submission issues, and the program manager (Marlene Spencer, 202-245-7532, marlene.spencer@ed.gov) for programmatic questions.
