Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACL NIDILRR DPGE 0276
The Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program: College and Career Success for Students with Serious Mental Illness or Traumatic Brain Injury is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered 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 sits within NIDILRR's broader Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program, which supports applied research and related dissemination efforts aimed at improving real-world outcomes for people with disabilities, particularly those with the most significant support needs. The central focus of the DRRP program overall is to develop and test methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that promote inclusion and integration across key life domains such as education, employment, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficiency, while also strengthening the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended).
This particular DRRP competition is narrowly targeted at college and career success for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) or traumatic brain injury (TBI). The stated purpose is to generate new knowledge about how effective specific interventions are at improving postsecondary education outcomes and employment outcomes for these populations. In practice, that means funding research that goes beyond describing barriers and instead evaluates strategies that help students with SMI or TBI persist in college, complete credentials, transition into work, and sustain employment. The opportunity emphasizes not only conducting research, but also carrying out dissemination, utilization, and knowledge translation activities so that findings can be adopted by colleges, vocational rehabilitation systems, service providers, and other stakeholders who support students and job seekers with disabilities.
The funding mechanism is a grant, categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and listed under CFDA 93.433. The opportunity number is HHS-2018-ACL-NIDILRR-DPGE-0276, with a creation date of February 7, 2018. Applications were due April 9, 2018, with electronic submissions required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. The award ceiling is $475,000, and the agency anticipated making one award, indicating a single-project competition intended to support a focused research effort with national relevance.
Eligibility is broad and designed to allow many types of organizations to compete, including public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and a wide range of governmental entities such as state, county, city/township, special district governments, and independent school districts. Federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations are also eligible, and the notice references an additional eligibility clarification field for any further details. Overall, the opportunity is structured to attract applicants capable of conducting rigorous rehabilitation research and translating the results into usable practices that improve educational attainment and employment success for students and workers living with SMI or TBI.Apply for HHS 2018 ACL NIDILRR DPGE 0276
