Deadline: 21-Feb-25
The Administration for Community Living is seeking proposals to improve long-term health outcomes of people with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The grantee may conduct research at the intervention development stage and must conduct at least one study at the intervention efficacy stage. The grantee will conduct this research to develop and test interventions, services, and supports to address the complex and varied life-long health care needs of people with TBI.
Priorities
- The Administrator of the Administration for Community Living establishes a priority for a Disability and Rehabilitation Research Project (DRRP) on traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a lifelong condition. The DRRP grant to be made under this opportunity will contribute to the evidence base upon which people with TBI and their health care providers can employ effective chronic condition management practices. Under this priority, the DRRP must:
- Conduct at least one research study at the intervention efficacy stage of research. The DRRP may also conduct research at the intervention-development stage. Applicants must justify the need and rationale for research at the proposed stage or stages and describe fully an appropriate methodology or methodologies for the proposed research.
- Demonstrate in its original application that people with TBI from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds will be included in study samples in sufficient numbers to generate knowledge and products that are relevant to the racial and ethnic diversity of the population of people with disabilities being studied.
- Conduct knowledge translation activities (i.e., utilization, dissemination) in order to facilitate stakeholder (e.g., people with TBI, service providers, policymakers, practitioners) use of the knowledge, interventions, programs, technologies, or products that result from the research activities conducted.
- Involve people with TBI and other relevant stakeholders in all research and knowledge translation activities conducted by the DRRP. This involvement will help to maximize the relevance and usability of the knowledge and products to be developed by the DRRP.
- Ensure that all materials, websites and information technology tools and products that the DRRP plans to develop or maintain are accessible, and that electronic materials are produced in full compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794d).
