DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

[CFDA No. 84.133A–-7]

Office of Special Education and

Rehabilitative Services National

Institute on Disability and

Rehabilitation Research

Notice Inviting Applications for a

New Award Under the Research and

Demonstration Projects Program for

Fiscal Years 1996–1997.

Purpose of Program: The Research

and Demonstration Projects (R&D)

Program supports discrete research,

demonstration, training, and related

projects to develop methods,

procedures, and technology that

maximize the full inclusion and

integration into society, independent

living, employment, family support, and

economic and social self-sufficiency of

individuals with disabilities, especially

those with the most severe disabilities.

Eligible Applicants: Parties eligible to

apply for grants under this program are

public and private nonprofit and forprofit agencies and organizations,

including institutions of higher

education and Indian tribes and tribal

organizations.

Deadline for Transmittal of

Applications: July 15, 1996.

Application Available: June 3, 1996.

Available Funds: $250,000.

Estimated Average Size of Award per

Year: $250,000.

Estimated Number of Awards: 1.

Project Period: 36 months.

Applicable Regulations: (a) The

Education Department General

Administrative Regulations (EDGAR),

34 CFR Parts 74, 75, 77, 80, 81, 82, 85,

86; and (b) the regulations for this

program in 34 CFR Parts 350 and 351.

Note: The estimate of funding level and

awards in this notice do not bind the

Department of Education to a specific level

of funding or number of grants.

This notice supports the National

Education Goal that calls for all

Americans to possess the knowledge

and skills necessary to compete in a

global economy and exercise the rights

and responsibilities of citizenship.

Priorities

Under 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2) (v) and

(c)(3) and Section 204(a) of the

Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended,

the Secretary gives an absolute

preference to applications that meet the

following priority. The Secretary funds

under this competition only

applications that meet the absolute

priority:

Absolute Priority—Unserved or

Underserved Populations

Research, demonstration, training,

and related projects that hold promise of

increasing knowledge and improving

the rehabilitation of individuals,

particularly those with the most severe

disabilities and those who are members

of populations that are unserved or

underserved by programs under the

Rehabilitation Act.

Invitational Priority

Within the absolute priority, the

Secretary is particularly interested in

applications that address the following

invitational priority. However, under 34

CFR 75.105(c)(1) an application that

meets an invitational priority does not

receive competitive or absolute

preference over other applications:

NIDRR has observed that while

women constitute most of the disability

population, little information or

quantitative data is available relative to

circumstances and needs of women

with disabilities. The information that

does exist suggests that women with

disabilities in America confront

problems that differ in important

respects from those of their nondisabled

female peers as well as those of men

with disabilities. While NIDRR

currently supports projects to address

the needs of other underserved

populations such as persons with

disabilities from minority backgrounds

and American Indian individuals with

disabilities, NIDRR does not currently

support a focused research effort to

address critical issues unique to women

with disabilities.

In 1995, NIDRR convened a focus

group of women with disabilities,

service providers, and researchers to

discuss research gaps and opportunities.

The following topics emerged as critical

areas to disabled women: economic and

employment status; prevalence of

violence and abuse; access to

appropriate health care; and

opportunities for disabled girls and

young women to develop independence

and leadership skills. The Secretary

invites applications to undertake

research projects that address these

topics, including the identification of

intervention strategies that can be

addressed through research.

Research projects might propose to

address one or more of the following

research needs: analysis of the income

status of disabled women;

documentation of employment status

and identification of employment

barriers; design and testing of leadership

development models; and an analysis of

the existing data about violence and

abuse toward women with disabilities.

The Secretary is also interested in

supporting projects that study the need

for and feasibility of a comprehensive

research effort on the unique problems

of women with disabilities, and develop

an agenda for future research.
