Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2017 ACL NIDILRR ARCP 0188
The Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Program - Community Living and Participation is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Community Living (ACL), specifically under the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). It sits within NIDILRRs broader Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program and is designed to strengthen the pipeline of highly skilled rehabilitation researchers who can generate practical, high-quality evidence that improves the lives of people with disabilities. The central focus of this particular ARRT competition is NIDILRRs major domain of community living and participation, meaning the training supported by the grant should ultimately contribute to better outcomes related to independent living, inclusion, and participation in everyday community settings.
The main purpose of the ARRT program is to provide advanced research training and hands-on research experience to individuals who already hold doctoral degrees (or comparable advanced degrees) and who also bring clinical or otherwise relevant professional experience. In other words, it is aimed at postdoctoral or advanced-level trainees who are beyond entry-level research preparation and are ready to deepen their ability to design, conduct, and lead rigorous disability and rehabilitation research. A notable emphasis is placed on training rehabilitation researchers with disabilities, reflecting NIDILRRs commitment to developing a research workforce that includes and is informed by people with lived experience of disability.
In terms of what the funded project is expected to do, ARRT awards support structured training that builds a fellows or trainees capacity to carry out high-quality, multidisciplinary research. The work is expected to align with and support the implementation and objectives of the Rehabilitation Act, as well as improve the effectiveness of services authorized under that Act. Practically, this means the training program should prepare researchers to study and strengthen rehabilitation and community-based services, policies, and interventions that affect community living and participation outcomes for individuals with disabilities. The opportunity description signals that NIDILRR is looking for training that is not only academically strong, but also connected to real-world service systems and outcomes.
Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education, including both public and state-controlled universities and private universities. The funding mechanism is a grant, and the activity category is science and technology and other research and development (CFDA 93.433). The opportunity listed an anticipated total of one award, with an award ceiling of $150,000, indicating a single funded training project at this funding level for the competition cycle referenced in the notice. The opportunity was created on November 14, 2016, with an original application deadline of January 13, 2017, and electronic submissions were due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as support for a university-based advanced research training program that develops skilled rehabilitation researchers, strengthens multidisciplinary research capability, and produces research talent positioned to improve community living and participation outcomes for people with disabilities, consistent with the Rehabilitation Acts goals and NIDILRRs mission.Apply for HHS 2017 ACL NIDILRR ARCP 0188
