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 or consumer groups) in 

conducting the work of the RRTC; and 

(2) Conducting training and 

dissemination activities to facilitate the 

utilization of research findings in 

employment 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)). 

Final Priority 

We will announce the final priority in 

a notice in the Federal Register. We will 

determine the final priority 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 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 

proposed regulatory action. 

The potential costs associated with 

this proposed 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 proposed regulatory 

action, we have determined that the 

benefits of the proposed 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 proposed priority will 

generate new knowledge and 

technologies through research, 

development, dissemination, utilization, 

and technical assistance projects. 

Another benefit of this proposed 

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.

Order 12372 and the regulations in 34
