SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice of proposed priority is in concert 

with NIDRR’s currently approved LongRange Plan (Plan). The Plan, which was 

published in the Federal Register on 

April 4, 2013 (78 FR 20299), can be 

accessed on the Internet at the following 

site: www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/

osers/nidrr/policy.html. 

The Plan identifies a need for research 

and training regarding employment, 

community living and participation, 

and health and function of individuals 

with disabilities. To address this need, 

NIDILRR seeks to: (1) Improve the 

quality and utility of disability and 

rehabilitation research; (2) foster an 

exchange of research findings, expertise, 

and other information to advance 

knowledge and understanding of the 

needs of individuals with disabilities 

and their family members, including 

those from among traditionally 

underserved populations; (3) determine 

effective practices, programs, and 

policies to improve community living 

and participation, employment, and 

health and function outcomes for 

individuals with disabilities of all ages; 

(4) identify research gaps and areas for 

promising research investments; (5) 

identify and promote effective 

mechanisms for integrating research and 

practice; and (6) disseminate research 

findings to all major stakeholder groups, 

including individuals with disabilities 

and their family members in formats 

that are appropriate and meaningful to 

them. 

This notice proposes two priorities 

that NIDILRR intends to use for one or 

more competitions in fiscal year (FY) 

2015 and possibly later years. NIDILRR 

is under no obligation to make an award 

under these priorities. The decision to 

make an award will be based on the 

quality of applications received and 

available funding. NIDILRR may publish 

additional priorities, as needed. 

Invitation to Comment: We invite you 

to submit comments regarding these 

proposed priorities. To ensure that your 

comments have maximum effect in 

developing the final priorities, we urge 

you to identify clearly the specific topic 

within each priority that each comment 

addresses. 

We invite you to assist us in 

complying with the specific 

requirements of Executive Orders 12866 

and 13563 and their overall requirement 

of reducing regulatory burden that 

might result from these proposed 

priorities. Please let us know of any 

further ways we could reduce potential 

costs or increase potential benefits 

while preserving the effective and 

efficient administration of the program.

Proposed Priorities 

This notice contains two proposed 

priorities. 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

13380 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 49 / Friday, March 13, 2015 / Notices 

Proposed Priority 1: Center on 

Knowledge Translation for Employment 

Research 

Background 

There continues to be a wide disparity 

in employment rates between 

individuals with and without 

disabilities. As of October 2014, the 

employment rate for individuals with 

disabilities was 17.7 percent while that 

of individuals without disabilities was 

65.2 percent (U.S. Department of Labor, 

2014). This disparity in employment 

rates is seen across all age groups and 

for both men and women. 

Using the best available research 

findings to inform practice and policy 

can contribute to improvements in 

outcomes for individuals with 

disabilities (Dijkers, 2009). While there 

are research findings in several areas 

related to the employment of 

individuals with disabilities, the use of 

those findings in the disability 

employment field to improve 

employment practices, policies, 

systems, and outcomes is not optimal 

(Center on Knowledge Translation for 

Employment research [SEDL], 2011). 

The National Institute on Disability, 

Independent Living, and Rehabilitation 

Research (NIDILRR) has adopted the 

conceptual framework of knowledge 

translation (KT) to help promote the 

effective use of research findings. 

Within the disability employment 

context, KT refers to a 

multidimensional, active process of 

ensuring that new knowledge and 

products gained via research and 

development reach practitioners, 

employers, policy makers, and 

individuals with disabilities and others; 

are understood by these audiences; and 

are used to improve the employment 

and participation outcomes of 

individuals with disabilities. KT is built 

upon continuing interactions and 

partnerships within and between 

different groups of knowledge creators 

and users. Using KT to facilitate 

partnerships between researchers and 

key stakeholders in the field of 

disability employment research is 

critical, given the limited experience 

that employers have with hiring, 

maintaining, and promoting individuals 

with disabilities. At the same time, 

potential employees with disabilities 

have a relative lack of experience in the 

paid labor force. KT strategies can be 

used to promote the use of researchbased knowledge among employers, 

potential employees with disabilities, 

employment service providers, and 

other stakeholders as they seek to 

improve employment outcomes among 

individuals with disabilities. 

The promise of KT for influencing 

employment practice and outcomes has 

yet to be fulfilled because there is still 

limited information available related to 

effective strategies for knowledge 

translation in the disability employment 

context (e.g., Becker et al., 2007; Graham 

et al., 2013; Hall et al., 2014). Thus, 

NIDILRR aims to sponsor research to 

identify or develop KT strategies that 

are designed to promote the use of 

disability employment research findings 

to improve employment outcomes of 

individuals with disabilities.

Proposed Priority 1 

Center on Knowledge Translation for 

Employment Research 

The Administrator of the 

Administration for Community Living 

proposes a priority for a Disability and 

Rehabilitation Research Project to serve 

as the Center on Knowledge Translation 

for Employment Research (Center). The 

purpose of the proposed Center on KT 

for Employment Research is to promote 

the use of employment research findings 

to improve practices and policies that 

support improved employment 

outcomes of individuals with 

disabilities. The center will achieve this 

purpose by (1) working with 

employment-focused NIDILRR grantees 

to identify research findings that can be 

used to improve employment outcomes 

for individuals with disabilities, (2) 

identifying areas in which stakeholders’ 

needs for research-based knowledge are 

most pressing, and (3) investigating and 

promoting effective strategies to 

increase the appropriate use of the best 

available research-based knowledge in 

the field. 

Under this priority, the Center must 

be designed to contribute to the 

following outcomes: 

(a) Increased understanding of 

processes and practices that will lead to 

successful knowledge translation in the 

field of employment for individuals 

with disabilities; 

(b) Increased adoption and use of 

relevant research findings funded by 

NIDILRR and other entities, to improve 

employment of individuals with 

disabilities; and 

(c) Increased capacity of NIDILRR’s 

employment-focused grantees to plan 

and engage in knowledge translation 

activities. 

The Center must contribute to these 

outcomes by conducting rigorous 

research, development, technical 

assistance, dissemination, and 

utilization activities to increase 

successful knowledge translation of 

employment research to improve 

employment of individuals with 

disabilities. In planning and conducting 

all activities, the Center must partner 

with relevant stakeholders such as 

employment-focused researchers, 

individual with disabilities, consumer 

organizations, employers, State and 

Federal agencies, and others as 

appropriate. 

Proposed Priority 2: Projects for 

Translating Disability and 

Rehabilitation Research into Practice. 

Background 

A critical part of the mission of the 

National Institute on Disability, 

Independent Living and Rehabilitation 

Research (NIDILRR) is promoting the 

effective use of new research-based 

knowledge to improve the outcomes of 

individuals with disabilities. NIDILRR 

has adopted the conceptual framework 

of knowledge translation to help guide 

its efforts to promote the effective use of 

research-based knowledge. Knowledge 

translation in the NIDILRR context 

refers to a multidimensional, active 

process of ensuring that new knowledge 

and products gained via research and 

development are relevant to the users’ 

needs, reach intended users; are 

understood by these users; and are used 

to improve participation of individuals 

with disabilities in society. 

NIDILRR has increasingly emphasized 

the importance of translating researchbased findings and products from 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 49 / Friday, March 13, 2015 / Notices 13381 

NIDILRR-funded projects into practice, 

policy, or other uses by placing 

knowledge translation requirements in 

all grant opportunity announcements, 

and by funding a number of dedicated 

knowledge translation centers to 

provide technical assistance to grantees 

in this endeavor. These efforts have 

successfully promoted the use of new 

research-based knowledge and products 

by facilitating the identification of 

research questions that are relevant to 

the knowledge needs of targeted users, 

incorporating user input into the 

planning and implementation of 

research and development projects, and 

by facilitating the dissemination of 

research-based findings and products in 

usable formats. 

However, grantees often complete 

their research or development activities 

without sufficient time or funds to 

translate their research-based findings 

into usable products, or to promote the 

use and adoption of such findings by 

stakeholders. NIDILRR believes that a 

funding program that provides 

additional time and resources for these 

KT activities will help to further 

promote the use and adoption of 

research-based findings and products 

from NIDILRR-funded work which will, 

in turn, help to support its mission to 

improve the lives of individuals with 

disabilities. 

Proposed Priority: Projects for 

Translating Disability and 

Rehabilitation Research into Practice. 

The Administrator of the 

Administration for Community Living 

proposes a priority for Disability and 

Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP). 

These DRRP grants will serve as Projects 

for Translating Disability and 

Rehabilitation Research into Practice. 

The purpose of these projects is to 

support the translation of research 

findings or products of past or present 

NIDILRR-funded grants into use or 

adoption by their stakeholders. Under 

this priority, grantees must successfully 

move NIDILRR-sponsored researchbased findings or products into actual 

use or adoption in real-life contexts. 

Grantees under this priority must also 

document and disseminate the 

knowledge translation methods that 

they used to facilitate the adoption or 

use of findings or products by 

stakeholders. 

Each knowledge translation grant 

under this priority must be conducted 

in partnership with relevant 

stakeholders. These stakeholders must 

be actively engaged in the planning, 

implementation, and evaluation of all 

knowledge translation grant activities. 

Grantees under this priority must 

contribute to the following outcomes: 

(1) Use or adoption of NIDILRRsponsored findings or products by 

relevant stakeholders; 

(2) Changes in policy, practice, or 

systems that are intended to improve 

the lives of individuals with disabilities 

as a result of the use or adoption of 

NIDILRR-sponsored findings or 

products; and 

(3) Increased understanding of 

promising practices for knowledge 

translation in disability, independent 

living, and rehabilitation research. 

Grantees under this priority must 

contribute to these outcomes by— 

(a) Identifying research-based findings 

or products from a NIDILRR-funded 

grant or grants that are ready for use or 

adoption in real-world settings, as well 

as the context or setting in which they 

will be used or adopted; 

(b) Identifying or developing, and 

then implementing a knowledge 

translation plan to facilitate the use or 

adoption of findings or products in (a) 

by key stakeholders; and 

(c) Identifying measures to evaluate 

the success of the uses or adoptions 

achieved under (b). 

Final Priorities 

We will announce the final priorities 

in a notice in the Federal Register. We 

will determine the final priorities after 

considering responses to this notice and 

other information available to the 

Department. 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 these priorities, we invite applications 

through a notice in the Federal Register or 

in a Funding Opportunity Announcement 

posted at www.grants.gov. 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Regulatory Impact Analysis 

Under Executive Order 12866, the 

Secretary must determine whether this 

regulatory action is ‘‘significant’’ and, 

therefore, subject to the requirements of 

the Executive Order and subject to 

review by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB). Section 3(f) of Executive 

Order 12866 defines a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ as an action likely to 

result in a rule that may— 

(1) Have an annual effect on the 

economy of $100 million or more, or 

adversely affect a sector of the economy, 

productivity, competition, jobs, the 

environment, public health or safety, or 

State, local, or tribal governments or 

communities in a material way (also 

referred to as an ‘‘economically 

significant’’ rule); 

(2) Create serious inconsistency or 

otherwise interfere with an action taken 

or planned by another agency; 

(3) Materially alter the budgetary 

impacts of entitlement grants, user fees, 

or loan programs or the rights and 

obligations of recipients thereof; or 

(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues 

arising out of legal mandates, the 

President’s priorities, or the principles 

stated in the Executive Order. 

This proposed regulatory action is not 

a significant regulatory action subject to 

review by OMB under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866. 

We have also reviewed this regulatory 

action under Executive Order 13563, 

which supplements and explicitly 

reaffirms the principles, structures, and 

definitions governing regulatory review 

established in Executive Order 12866. 

To the extent permitted by law, 

Executive Order 13563 requires that an 

agency— 

(1) Propose or adopt regulations only 

upon a reasoned determination that 

their benefits justify their costs 

(recognizing that some benefits and 

costs are difficult to quantify); 

(2) Tailor its regulations to impose the 

least burden on society, consistent with 

obtaining regulatory objectives and 

taking into account—among other things 

and to the extent practicable—the costs 

of cumulative regulations; 

(3) In choosing among alternative 

regulatory approaches, select those 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety, 

and other advantages; distributive 

impacts; and equity); 

(4) To the extent feasible, specify 

performance objectives, rather than the 

behavior or manner of compliance a 

regulated entity must adopt; and 

(5) Identify and assess available 

alternatives to direct regulation, 

including economic incentives—such as 

user fees or marketable permits—to 

encourage the desired behavior, or 

provide information that enables the 

public to make choices. 

Executive Order 13563 also requires 

an agency ‘‘to use the best available 

techniques to quantify anticipated 

present and future benefits and costs as 

accurately as possible.’’ The Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs of 

OMB has emphasized that these 

techniques may include ‘‘identifying 

changing future compliance costs that 

might result from technological 

innovation or anticipated behavioral 

changes.’’ 

We are issuing these proposed 

priorities only upon a reasoned 

determination that its benefits would

alternative regulatory approaches, we 

selected those approaches that would 

maximize net benefits. Based on the 

analysis that follows, the Department 

believes that these proposed priorities 

are consistent with the principles in 

Executive Order 13563. 

We also have determined that this 

regulatory action would not unduly 

interfere with State, local, and tribal 

governments in the exercise of their 

governmental functions. 

In accordance with both Executive 

Orders, the Department has assessed the 

potential costs and benefits, both 

quantitative and qualitative, of this 

regulatory action. The potential costs 

are those resulting from statutory 

requirements and those we have 

determined as necessary for 

administering the Department’s 

programs and activities. 

The benefits of the Disability and 

Rehabilitation Research Projects and 

Centers Program have been well 

established over the years. Projects 

similar to ones envisioned by the 

proposed priorities have been 

completed successfully, and the 

proposed priorities would generate new 

knowledge through research. The new 

DRRPs would generate, disseminate, 

and promote the use of new information 

that would improve outcomes for 

individuals with disabilities. 

Intergovernmental Review: This 

program is not subject to Executive 

Order 12372.
