Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACL NIDILRR IFRE 0013
The Field Initiated Projects Program (Research) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL), administered through NIDILRR, focused on advancing disability and rehabilitation research. The program is designed to support projects that either generate new scientific knowledge or develop practical methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that help people with disabilities participate fully in society. A central emphasis is on outcomes tied to inclusion and integration across major life areas such as employment, independent living, family support, and broader economic and social self-sufficiency, with particular attention to individuals with the most severe disabilities.
A defining feature of this opportunity is its expectation for rigorous, hypothesis-driven research. Applicants are expected to identify one or more clear hypotheses or research questions and then carry out an intensive, systematic study that leads to either new scientific knowledge or a stronger, evidence-based understanding of the problem or topic being studied. In addition to producing research findings, the program aims to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended), meaning proposals should be relevant to real-world rehabilitation services and outcomes, even when they are more exploratory or foundational in nature.
The funding opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2021 ACL NIDILRR IFRE 0013 and falls within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development funding activity category (CFDA 93.433). Awards are grants, with an award ceiling of $200,000, and the agency anticipated making about 15 awards under this competition. The opportunity was created on October 20, 2020, with an original closing date of December 19, 2020, and it is specifically identified as the funding opportunity for FI Research proposals (as distinct from other FI tracks).
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of organizations capable of conducting high-quality research. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding institutions of higher education in those categories), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. This breadth is intended to encourage a diverse pipeline of research ideas and to support studies and innovations that can strengthen rehabilitation knowledge and practice across academic, community, clinical, and industry settings.Apply for HHS 2021 ACL NIDILRR IFRE 0013
