Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2022 ACL NIDILRR DPCP 0022
The Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program: Community Living and Participation (Research) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Community Living (ACL), through NIDILRR. It supports field-initiated research focused on improving community living and participation outcomes for people with disabilities. The core expectation is that applicants propose a clearly defined research project grounded in one or more specific hypotheses or research questions, and then carry out an intensive and systematic study designed to generate new scientific knowledge or deepen understanding of the practical problems affecting community living and participation.
This competition is specifically for research projects in the community living and participation domain, not for development work. NIDILRR notes that development projects are being solicited under a separate funding opportunity, and that awards across the domain will be made based on peer review rankings. In total, NIDILRR plans to make two field-initiated DRRP awards in this domain, and depending on how applications score, those two awards could end up being two research projects, two development projects, or one of each. This means applicants are competing not only within the research track, but also within the broader set of community living and participation proposals that NIDILRR plans to support across both research and development solicitations.
The grant mechanism is a standard grant award under a science and technology/research and development activity category (CFDA 93.433). The project period is 60 months, structured as five consecutive 12-month budget periods, indicating a long-term, multi-year research effort with annual budgeting and performance planning. The funding opportunity lists an award ceiling of $500,000. The posted expected awards value in the source data is 1 for this particular notice, while the program description also explains NIDILRRs broader plan to make two awards in the domain across the paired research and development opportunities.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of entities that commonly conduct applied disability and rehabilitation research. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories); and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, along with other applicants as described in the full announcement. Applications must be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date specified in the announcement (the original closing date listed is April 4, 2022), and the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2022-ACL-NIDILRR-DPCP-0022, created February 2, 2022.
In practical terms, a strong application under this priority would be expected to do more than describe a problem area; it would define measurable research questions, justify the importance of the community living and participation outcomes being targeted, and lay out a rigorous study approach capable of producing generalizable evidence or a clearer understanding of the barriers, supports, interventions, policies, or systems that shape real-world participation for people with disabilities.Apply for HHS 2022 ACL NIDILRR DPCP 0022
