This grant, offered by NIDILRR, is for development activities within the Field Initiated Projects Program. Its primary purpose is to leverage existing research knowledge to create tangible materials, devices, systems, methods, or intervention protocols. These developments are specifically designed to maximize the full inclusion, successful employment, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency of people with disabilities, especially those with the greatest support needs. Grantees will focus on producing practical and beneficial solutions for the target population. NIDILRR anticipates making 15 awards, each with a 36-month project period, combining both development and research applications (research proposals will be under a separate announcement). This is a key opportunity to advance rehabilitation technologies.

| Description: | The purpose of the Field Initiated Projects program is to generate new knowledge through research or to develop methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies — to maximize the full inclusion and integration into society, employment, independent living, family/caregiver support, and economic and self-sufficiency of people with disabilities, especially people with the greatest support needs. In carrying out a development activity under a Field Initiated Projects development grant, a grantee must use knowledge and understanding gained from research to create materials, devices, systems, methods, measures, techniques, tools, prototypes, processes, or intervention protocols that are beneficial to the target population.

NIDILRR plans to make 15 Field Initiated Projects awards. Grants will have a 36-month project period, with three 12-month budget periods. NIDILRR’s Field Initiated Projects will include a combination of research applications and development applications, depending on the combined ranking of individual research and development applications by the peer review panel. |
