Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACL NIDILRR DPCP 0382
The Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program: Community Living and Participation (Research) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Community Living (ACL), through the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). It is part of NIDILRR's broader Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program, which supports research and related work meant to strengthen independent living, community inclusion, and the effectiveness of rehabilitation services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. The central focus of this specific priority is generating practical, evidence-based knowledge that improves community living and participation outcomes for people with disabilities, with particular attention to the needs of individuals with the most severe disabilities.
This opportunity is specifically for field-initiated DRRP projects in the community living and participation domain. In plain terms, that means applicants are expected to propose their own research direction within the scope of community living and participation, rather than responding to a narrowly prescribed topic list. The funded work must be genuinely research-oriented: the grantee is required to identify one or more hypotheses or research questions and then carry out an intensive, systematic study designed to produce either new or fuller scientific knowledge, or a deeper understanding of the problem being studied. While DRRPs can support activities such as demonstrations, training, and even international activities under the broader program purpose, this particular posting emphasizes a research project aimed at measurable improvements in community living and participation.
Funding is provided as a grant, and the activity category is classified under Science and Technology and other Research and Development (CFDA 93.433). NIDILRR planned to make two awards under this announcement. Importantly, the final mix of awards could vary based on peer review rankings: the two awards could end up being both research projects, both development projects, or one research and one development project. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $500,000. Applications were due by March 23, 2020, with electronic submissions required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2020-ACL-NIDILRR-DPCP-0382, and it was created on January 23, 2020.
Eligibility is broad and includes many organization types that commonly conduct applied research and evaluation. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those categories); and other entities as described in the announcement's additional eligibility language. Overall, the opportunity is designed to bring in a range of research-capable organizations to build evidence and tools that help people with disabilities live and participate more fully in their communities, improve independence and self-sufficiency, and strengthen the real-world effectiveness of rehabilitation and related services.Apply for HHS 2020 ACL NIDILRR DPCP 0382
