Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the DRRP program is to improve the 

effectiveness of services authorized 

under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as 

amended, by developing methods, 

procedures, and rehabilitation 

technologies that advance a wide range 

of independent living and employment 

outcomes for individuals with 

disabilities, especially individuals with 

the most severe disabilities. DRRPs 

carry out one or more of the following 

types of activities, as specified and 

defined in 34 CFR 350.13 through 

350.19: Research, training, 

demonstration, development, 

dissemination, utilization, and technical 

assistance. 

An applicant for assistance under this 

program must demonstrate in its 

application how it will address, in 

whole or in part, the needs of 

individuals with disabilities from 

minority backgrounds (34 CFR 

350.40(a)). The approaches an applicant 

may take to meet this requirement are 

found in 34 CFR 350.40(b). 

Additional information on the DRRP 

program can be found at: http:// 

www.ed.gov/rschstat/research/pubs/resprogram.html#DRRP. 

Priorities: NIDRR has established two 

priorities for this competition. The 

General DRRP Requirements priority is 

from the notice of final priorities for the 

Disability and Rehabilitation Research 

Projects and Centers Program, published 

in the Federal Register on April 28, 

2006 (71 FR 25472). The Technology 

Access in Resource-Limited 

Environments priority is from the notice 

of final priorities for the Disability and 

Rehabilitation Research Projects and 

Centers Program, published in the 

Federal Register on February 1, 2008 

(73 FR 6132). 

Note: On February 1, 2008, we also 

published a notice in the Federal Register 

(73 FR 6162) inviting applications for a 

number of competitions, including one using 

the Technology Access in Resource-Limited 

Environments priority. None of the 

applications we received for this priority 

were successful. On June 12, 2008, we 

published another notice in the Federal 

Register (73 FR 33420) inviting applications 

for the Technology Access in ResourceLimited Environments priority and, once 

again, none of the applications we received 

for this priority were successful. 

Consequently, due to this lack of quality 

applications, NIDRR is again recompeting 

this priority. NIDRR is seeking applications 

that address all elements of the priority and 

that propose appropriate, quality research 

methodologies. 

Accordingly, through this notice, we 

are inviting applications for another 

competition using the Technology 

Access in Resource-Limited 

Environments priority. 

Absolute Priorities: For FY 2009, these 

priorities are absolute priorities. Under 

34 CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only 

applications that meet these priorities.
