issues change over time but may be affected 

by lifestyle and directed interventions). We 

would welcome well-designed research and 

development projects with either (or another) 

focus. 

Change: None. 

Comments: One commenter suggested that 

community living and participation as a 

domain does not sufficiently reflect the 

importance of social relationships. 

Discussion: We are committed to people 

with disabilities being both in the 

community and part of the community. We 

welcome applications that design and 

evaluate interventions that go beyond 

physical integration to achieving social 

inclusion and interpersonal relationships. 

Change: None. 

14. Centers of Excellence 

Comments: Two commenters asked for 

clarification of the expectations about the 

concept of ‘‘Centers of Excellence.’’ 

Discussion: ‘‘Centers of National 

Excellence’’ is a term that was added to the 

description of RRTCs by Congress in the last 

reauthorization of NIDRR. RRTCs, as Centers 

of Excellence, are expected to serve as 

‘‘national resource centers’’ for the topics and 

populations they address. We agree with the 

commenter that introduction of the new term 

‘‘Centers of Excellence’’ to describe RRTCs is 

unnecessarily confusing. 

Change: In the RRTC criteria, we will 

continue to require that RRTCs serve as 

‘‘national resource centers’’ and continue to 

expect excellence from them, but we will 

eliminate the designation of ‘‘Centers of 

Excellence.’’ 

15. Types of Programs Within the NIDRR 

Portfolio 

Comments: Two commenters indicated 

that the information about the types of 

programs that are administered by NIDRR is 

not clear. 

Discussion: NIDRR’s programs are 

designated in its authorizing legislation 

located in sections 200 through 205 of the 

Rehabilitation Act, as amended. We manage 

these programs in a manner consistent with 

the authorizing statute, regulations 

established in 34 CFR parts 350 through 359, 

and annual appropriations bills. 

Change: None.
