with at least one at-risk group (as 

described earlier in this paragraph) to: 

Develop and evaluate new interventions 

or practices, evaluate practices currently 

being used with members of the at-risk 

group, or by conducting both of these 

types of research. Applicants must 

identify the specific at-risk group or 

groups they propose to study, provide 

evidence that the selected population or 

populations are, in fact, at greater risk 

for poor employment outcomes, and 

explain how the proposed interventions 

and practices are expected to address 

the needs of the population or 

populations. 

(c) Increased incorporation of research 

findings into practice and policy. The 

RRTC must contribute to this outcome 

by: 

(1) Collaborating with providers of 

vocational rehabilitation (VR) services, 

employer groups, and stakeholders (e.g., 

individuals who are blind or visually 

impaired, consumer groups, or relevant 

nongovernmental or nonprofit 

organizations) in conducting the work of 

the RRTC; and 

(2) Conducting training and 

dissemination activities to facilitate the 

utilization of research findings in 

employment, educational, and VR 

settings. 

(d) In addition, through coordination 

with the NIDRR Project Officer, this 

RRTC must collaborate with: 

(1) Appropriate NIDRR-funded 

grantees, including knowledge 

translation grantees; and 

(2) Relevant Office of Special 

Education Programs and Rehabilitation 

Services Administration grantees. 

Types of Priorities 

When inviting applications for a 

competition using one or more 

priorities, we designate the type of each 

priority as absolute, competitive 

preference, or invitational through a 

notice in the Federal Register. The 

effect of each type of priority follows: 

Absolute priority: Under an absolute 

priority, we consider only applications 

that meet the priority (34 CFR 

75.105(c)(3)). 

Competitive preference priority: 

Under a competitive preference priority, 

we give competitive preference to an 

application by (1) awarding additional 

points, depending on the extent to 

which the application meets the priority 

(34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i)); or (2) selecting 

an application that meets the priority 

over an application of comparable merit 

that does not meet the priority (34 CFR 

75.105(c)(2)(ii)). 

Invitational priority: Under an 

invitational priority, we are particularly 

interested in applications that meet the 

priority. However, we do not give an 

application that meets the priority a 

preference over other applications (34 

CFR 75.105(c)(1)). 

This notice does not preclude us from 

proposing additional priorities, 

requirements, definitions, or selection 

criteria, subject to meeting applicable 

rulemaking requirements. 

Note: This notice does not solicit 

applications. In any year in which we choose 

to use this priority, we invite applications 

through a notice in the Federal Register. 

Executive Order 12866: This notice 

has been reviewed in accordance with 

Executive Order 12866. Under the terms 

of the order, we have assessed the 

potential costs and benefits of this final 

regulatory action. 

The potential costs associated with 

this final regulatory action are those 

resulting from statutory requirements 

and those we have determined as 

necessary for administering this 

program effectively and efficiently. 

In assessing the potential costs and 

benefits—both quantitative and 

qualitative—of this final regulatory 

action, we have determined that the 

benefits of the final priority justify the 

costs. 

Discussion of Costs and Benefits 

The benefits of the Disability and 

Rehabilitation Research Projects and 

Centers Program have been well 

established over the years in that similar 

projects have been completed 

successfully. This final priority will 

generate new knowledge and 

technologies through research, 

development, dissemination, utilization, 

and technical assistance projects. 

Another benefit of this final priority is 

that the establishment of a new RRTC 

will support and will improve the lives 

of individuals with disabilities. The 

new RRTC will generate, disseminate, 

and promote the use of new information 

that will improve the options for 

individuals with disabilities to obtain, 

retain, and advance in employment.
