Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

this program is to provide research 

training and experience at an advanced 

level to individuals with doctorates or 

similar advanced degrees who have 

clinical or other relevant experience. 

ARRT projects train rehabilitation 

researchers, including individuals with 

disabilities, with particular attention to 

research areas that support the 

implementation and objectives of the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended 

(Act), and that improve the effectiveness 

of services authorized under the Act. 

Program Requirements: ARRT 

projects must carry out all of the 

following activities: (1) Recruit and 

select candidates for advanced research 

training; (2) provide a training program 

that includes didactic and classroom 

instruction, is multidisciplinary, 

emphasizes scientific methodology, and 

may involve collaboration among 

institutions; (3) provide research 

experience, laboratory experience, or its 

equivalent in a community-based 

research setting, and a practicum that 

involves each individual in clinical 

research and in practical activities with 

organizations representing individuals 

with disabilities; (4) provide academic 

mentorship or guidance, and 

opportunities for scientific collaboration 

with qualified researchers at the host 

university and other appropriate 

institutions; and (5) provide 

opportunities for participation in the 

development of professional 

presentations and publications, and for 

attendance at professional conferences 

and meetings, as appropriate for the 

individual’s field of study and level of 

experience.

It is expected that applicants will 

articulate goals, objectives, and 

expected outcomes for the proposed 

capacity building activities. It is critical 

that proposals describe expected public 

benefits, especially benefits for 

individuals with disabilities, and 

propose projects that are optimally 

designed to demonstrate outcomes that 

are consistent with the proposed goals. 

Applicants are encouraged to include 

information describing how they will 

measure outcomes, including the 

indicators that will represent the endresult. Submission of this information is 

voluntary except where required by the 

selection criteria listed in the 

application package.

President Bush’s New Freedom Initiative 

(NFI). The NFI can be accessed on the 

Internet at the following site: http://

www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/newfreedom/.

The ARRT projects are in concert with 

NIDRR’s Long-Range Plan (Plan). The 

Plan is comprehensive and integrates 

many issues relating to disability and 

rehabilitation research and development 

topics. The Plan can be accessed on the 

Internet at the following site: http://

www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/osers/

nidrr/policy.html.

Through the implementation of the 

Plan, NIDRR seeks to: (1) Improve the 

quality and utility of disability and 

rehabilitation research; (2) foster an 

exchange of expertise, information, and 

training to facilitate the advancement of 

knowledge and understanding of the 

unique needs of traditionally 

underserved populations; (3) determine 

best strategies and programs to improve 

rehabilitation outcomes for underserved 

populations; (4) identify research gaps; 

(5) identify mechanisms of integrating 

research and practice; and (6) 

disseminate findings.

the Secretary in 34 CFR 75.118.

Note: NIDRR will provide information by 

letter to grantees on how and when to submit 

the report.

4. Performance Measures: To evaluate 

the overall success of its research 

program, NIDRR assesses the quality of 

its funded projects through review of 

grantee performance and products. Each 

year, NIDRR examines, through its 

annual performance review system, its 

ARRT grantees to determine the 

percentage of NIDRR fellows and postdoctoral trainees who authored or coauthored publications in refereed 

journals based on information and data 

from NIDRR funding. 

NIDRR uses information submitted by 

grantees as part of their Annual 

Performance Reports (APR) for these 

reviews. NIDRR also determines, using 

information submitted as part of the 

APR, the number of publications in 

refereed journals that are based on 

NIDRR-funded research and 

development activities. 

Department of Education program 

performance reports, which include 

information on NIDRR programs, are
