| Description: | 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 on and development of innovative technologies that are designed to solve particular rehabilitation problems or to remove environmental barriers for people with disabilities. 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. This particular opportunity is for an RERC to conduct research and development activities toward technologies that will promote independence and community living among people who are blind or who have low vision. NIDILRR plans to make one grant under this announcement. The grant will have a 60-month project period with five 12-month budget periods. |
