requirements on reporting, please go to 

http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/

appforms/appforms.html. 

Note: NIDRR will provide information by 

letter to grantees on how and when to submit 

the final performance report. 

4. Performance Measures: To evaluate 

the overall success of its research 

program, NIDRR assesses the quality of 

its funded projects through a review of 

grantee performance and products. Each 

year, NIDRR examines a portion of its 

grantees to determine: 

• The percentage of NIDRR-supported 

fellows, post-doctoral trainees, and 

doctoral students who publish results of 

NIDRR-sponsored research in refereed 

journals. 

• The number of accomplishments 

(e.g., new or improved tools, methods, 

discoveries, standards, interventions, 

programs, or devices) developed or 

tested with NIDRR funding that have 

been judged by expert panels to be of 

high quality and to advance the field. 

• The average number of publications 

per award based on NIDRR-funded 

research and development activities in 

refereed journals. 

• The percentage of new NIDRR 

grants that assess the effectiveness of 

interventions, programs, and devices 

using rigorous methods. 

• The number of new or improved 

NIDRR-funded assistive and universally 

designed technologies, products, and 

devices transferred to industry for 

potential commercialization. 

Each grantee must annually report its 

performance through NIDRR’s Annual 

Performance Report (APR) form. NIDRR 

uses APR information submitted by 

grantees to assess progress on these 

measures.

Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the RERC program is to improve the 

effectiveness of services authorized 

under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as 

amended, by conducting advanced 

engineering research and development 

on innovative technologies that are 

designed to solve particular 

rehabilitation problems, or remove 

environmental barriers. RERCs also 

demonstrate and evaluate such 

technologies, facilitate service delivery 

system changes, stimulate the 

production and distribution of new 

technologies and equipment in the 

private sector, and provide training 

opportunities. 

Additional information on the RERC 

program can be found at: http:// 

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

Priorities: NIDRR has established 

three separate priorities for the three 

competitions announced in this notice. 

The three priorities are from the notice 

of final priorities (NFP) for the 

Disability and Rehabilitation Research 

Projects and Centers program, published 

elsewhere in this issue of the Federal 

Register. 

Absolute Priorities: For FY 2009, these 

priorities are absolute priorities. Under 

34 CFR 75.105(c)(3), for each 

competition (designated by CFDA 

number in the following chart), we 

consider only applications that meet the 

absolute priority designated for that 

competition. 

These priorities are:
