Two New Disability Research Funding Opportunities
New Research Funding Opportunities
The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) at ACL has opened two new funding opportunities under the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) program.
The purpose of the DRRP program is to plan and conduct research, demonstration projects, trainings, 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.
Understanding the Experience and Outcomes of Students with Disabilities Who Have 504 Plans
Under this particular DRRP priority, the grantee must conduct research toward new knowledge of the school experiences and outcomes among elementary or secondary students who have 504 plans. These formal plans protect the rights of children with disabilities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, by giving them the accommodations, supports, or services they need in school.

Scaling Up Evidence-Based Services to Promote Competitive Integrated Employment Among People with Disabilities
Under this particular DRRP priority, the grantee must conduct research to further build the evidence base for an employment service or intervention that promotes competitive integrated employment among people with disabilities. The grantee must focus its research on an existing service or intervention that has previous evidence of efficacy, and must further strengthen that evidence base or bring the intervention to scale in real-world settings.
