Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

this program is to stimulate 

technological innovation in the private 

sector, strengthen the role of small 

business in meeting Federal research or 

research and development (R/R&D) 

needs, increase the commercial 

application of the U.S. Department of 

Education (Department) supported 

research results, and improve the return 

on investment from Federally funded 

research for economic and social 

benefits to the Nation. 

Note: This program is in concert with 

NIDRR’s currently approved long range plan 

(the Plan). The Plan is comprehensive and 

integrates many issues relating to disability 

and rehabilitation research topics. The Plan, 

which was published in the Federal Register 

on February 15, 2006 (71 FR 8165), 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 individuals with 

disabilities from traditionally 

underserved populations; (3) determine 

best strategies and programs to improve 

rehabilitation outcomes for individuals 

with disabilities from underserved 

populations; (4) identify research gaps; 

(5) identify mechanisms of integrating 

research and practice; and (6) 

disseminate findings. 

NIDRR Supports Manufacturing-Related 

Innovation (Executive Order 13329) 

Executive Order 13329 states that 

continued technological innovation is 

critical to a strong manufacturing sector 

in the United States economy and 

ensures that Federal agencies assist the 

private sector in its manufacturing 

innovation efforts. The Department’s 

SBIR program encourages innovative 

research and development (R&D) 

projects that are manufacturing-related, 

as defined by Executive Order 13329. 

Manufacturing-related R&D 

encompasses improvements in existing 

methods or processes, or wholly new 

processes, machines, or systems. The 

projects supported under the 

Department’s SBIR program encompass 

a range of manufacturing-related R&D, 

including projects leading to the 

manufacture of such items as artificial 

intelligence or information technology 

devices, software, and systems. For 

more information on Executive Order 

13329, please visit the following Web

Background 

The Small Business Reauthorization 

Act of 2000 (Act) was enacted on 

December 21, 2000. The Act requires 

certain agencies, including the 

Department, to establish SBIR programs 

by reserving a statutory percentage of 

their extramural R&D budgets to be 

awarded to small business concerns 

through a uniform, highly competitive 

three-phase process. 

The three phases of the SBIR program 

are: 

Phase I: Phase I projects determine, 

insofar as possible, the scientific or 

technical merit and feasibility of ideas 

submitted under the SBIR program. An 

application for Phase I should 

concentrate on research that will 

contribute significantly to proving the 

scientific or technical feasibility of the
