This grant, offered by NIDILRR, is for the purpose of generating new knowledge and developing innovative methods and rehabilitation technologies to significantly enhance the inclusion, employment, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency of people with disabilities, particularly those with high support needs. A key objective of the Field Initiated Projects (FIP) program is to bolster the capacity of Minority-Serving Institutions (MSI) in conducting high-quality disability and rehabilitation research and development. Grantees undertaking development activities will apply research insights to create materials, devices, systems, or intervention protocols beneficial to the target population. This specific funding opportunity focuses on FIP-MSI Development proposals, with NIDILRR planning to award four grants, each with a 36-month project period.
