Deadline: 23 April 2018
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is currently accepting applications for its program entitled “Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program: Health and Function (Development).”
The purpose of NIDILRR’s Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) which are funded through the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program, is to plan and conduct research, demonstration projects, training, and related activities, including international activities, to develop methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technology that maximize the full inclusion and integration into society, employment, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficiency of individuals with disabilities, especially individuals with the most severe disabilities, and to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (Rehabilitation Act).
Under this particular DRRP priority, applicants must propose a development project that is aimed at improving the health and function of individuals with disabilities. In carrying out a development project under this program, a grantee must use knowledge and understanding gained from research to create materials, devices, systems, or methods beneficial to the target population, including design and development of protypes and processes. Please note that this is the Funding Opportunity for field-initiated DRRP development projects in the health and function domain. NIDILRR plans to make one field-initiated DRRP award in the health and function domain. NIDILRR’s field-initiated DRRP award in the health and function domain may be a research project or a development project, depending on the ranking of applications provided by the peer review panel.
