The United States Department of Health and Human Services is seeking applications for its Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects Program.
The purpose of the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRPs) is to achieve the goals of, and improve the effectiveness of, services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act, by generating new knowledge, or developing methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that advance a wide range of health and function, community living, and employment outcomes among people with disabilities, especially people with disabilities who have the greatest support needs.
Priority Areas
- Use, adoption, or implementation of NIDILRR- sponsored findings, interventions, or products by intended users of such findings, interventions, or products;
- Changes in policy, practice, or systems that are intended to improve outcomes among people with disabilities, including people with disabilities from underserved communities, as a result of the use, adoption, or implementation of NIDILRR- sponsored findings, intervention, or products; and
- Increased understanding of knowledge translation activities that promote the use, adoption, or implementation of research-based findings, interventions, or products in disability, independent living, or rehabilitation contexts.
Funding Information
- Estimated Total Funding: $1,250,000.
- Award Ceiling: $250,000 Per Budget Period.
- Award Floor: $245,000 Per Budget Period.
- Length of Project Period: 60-month project period with five 12-month budget periods.
Eligibility Criteria
- All applicants must have a UEI and be registered with the System for Award Management and maintain an active SAM registration until the application process is complete, and should a grant be made, the life of the award.
- When registering or renewing your registration, you must submit a notarized letter appointing the authorized Entity Administrator.
- Applicants should allot sufficient time prior to the application deadline to finalize a new, or renew an existing registration.
- This action should allow you time to resolve any issues that may arise.
Application Requirements
- Each applicant must limit the Project Narrative to the equivalent of no more than 45 pages using the following standards:
- A page is 8.5″ x 11″ on one side only with 1″ margins at the top, bottom, and both sides;
- Double-space (no more than three lines per vertical inch) all narrative text in the project narrative. You are not required to double space titles, headings, footnotes, references, captions, or text in charts, tables, figures, and graphs. Applicants who unnecessarily place narrative text in tables to avoid the double-spacing requirement run the risk of exceeding the page limit;
- Use a font that is not less than size 12 and is Times New Roman, Courier, Courier New or Arial;
- Include all critical information, including the Work Plan, in the Project Narrative, minimizing the need for additional appendices;
- Ensure that you attach PDF files only for any attachments to your application. While you are able to attach files to your application in formats other than PDF, non-PDF files are converted into PDF format before reviewers see and evaluate your application. The conversion to PDF format may not maintain your original formatting. Therefore, to ensure the integrity of your application documents they strongly recommend that you attach only PDF files as you submit your application.
