Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program: Employment (Development)
The purpose of NIDILRR's Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) is to conduct research or development projects that maximize the full inclusion and integration into society, employment, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficiency of people with disabilities,
especially individuals with the greatest support needs, to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.Under this particular DRRP priority, applicants must propose a development project that is aimed at improving employment outcomes of people with disabilities.
In carrying out a development project under this program, 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's three field-initiated DRRP awards in the employment domain will be (1) research projects, (2) development projects, or (3) a combination of research and development projects, depending on the ranking of applications provided by the peer review panel.
The grants will have a 60-month project period, with five 12-month budget periods.
