The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) is offering the Field Initiated Projects Research grant. This grant aims to generate new knowledge and develop methods, procedures, and technologies that promote the full inclusion, employment, independent living, family/caregiver support, and economic self-sufficiency of people with disabilities, particularly those with significant support needs. Successful research proposals will identify clear hypotheses or questions and involve intensive, systematic study to produce new scientific knowledge or enhance understanding of the subject. This specific funding opportunity is dedicated to research proposals, with development proposals announced separately. NIDILRR anticipates making 15 awards, each with a 36-month project period. Grant selection will consider both research and development applications through a combined peer review process.

| Description: | The purpose of the Field Initiated Projects program is to generate new knowledge through research or to develop methods, procedures, and 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 research project under a Field Initiated Projects research grant, a grantee must identify one or more hypotheses or research questions and, based on the hypotheses or research questions identified, perform an intensive, systematic study directed toward producing (1) new scientific knowledge, or (2) better understanding of the subject, problem studied, or body of knowledge. Please note that this will be the funding opportunity for Field Initiated Projects Research proposals. We will invite Field Initiated Projects Development proposals under a separate announcement. 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. |
