Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Education, administered through the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), under the Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers (RRTC) program. The specific competition is titled "Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers (RRTCs) - Enhancing the Health and Wellness of Individuals With Arthritis" and is listed under CFDA 84.133B-7 (Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-020210-001). The overall aim is to support a single RRTC focused on arthritis-related rehabilitation outcomes, with an emphasis on improving health and wellness for individuals living with arthritis.
The program purpose, as described in the notice summary, is to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended). NIDRR intends to do this by funding advanced research, training, technical assistance, and dissemination activities in targeted problem areas it specifies. In practical terms, an awarded RRTC is expected to generate and translate evidence that strengthens rehabilitation services and supports real-world implementation. The intended beneficiaries are rehabilitation service providers, individuals with disabilities (in this case, people affected by arthritis and related functional limitations), and family members or other authorized representatives who support them. The notice also points applicants to broader background on the RRTC program through the Department of Education website.
Funding for this competition was estimated at a total of $800,000, with an award ceiling of $800,000, and the agency anticipated making one award. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated in the posting. The opportunity was posted on February 2, 2010, and applications were made available the same day. A pre-application meeting was scheduled for February 24, 2010, offered via conference call, with additional time set aside the same day for individual telephone consultations to provide information and technical assistance. The application deadline (deadline for transmittal of applications) was April 5, 2010, and the posting lists an archive date of May 5, 2010.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and public or private agencies and organizations, including for-profit entities. The listing also explicitly includes institutions of higher education (public and private), federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and tribal organizations. The eligibility section in the posting reflects a wide range of eligible applicant types often used in federal grant listings, covering various government units, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, special district governments, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), among others. For exact eligibility constraints and any priority requirements, applicants are directed to the official Federal Register notice.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through the Department of Educations e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice emphasizes that applicants complete the application online with data saved into a database and that applicants may not submit an electronic copy by email. Because the text provided is a synopsis, it repeatedly directs applicants to consult the official Federal Register application notice for the full requirements, including pre-application and application instructions, submission details, performance measures, priorities, and program contacts.
Contact information included both technical help and programmatic assistance. For systems or access issues, the listing provides a Grants.gov/FIND systems administrator contact (Julius Cotton, 202-245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov). For program-related questions, the program manager listed is Donna Nangle at the U.S. Department of Education (Potomac Center Plaza, Room 6029, Washington, DC 20202; 202-245-7462; Donna.Nangle@ed.gov).

In short, this opportunity funded one specialized RRTC intended to advance research and practical capacity-building to improve health and wellness outcomes for people with arthritis, aligning research generation with training, technical assistance, and dissemination so that findings can improve rehabilitation services authorized by the Rehabilitation Act. For full competitiveness details (such as specific priority topics, required project components, evaluation criteria, and reporting/performance measures), the official Federal Register notice is the controlling document.
