Field Initiated Projects Program: Minority-Serving Institutions (MSI) - Development
The purpose of the Field Initiated Projects (FIP) 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.
Another purpose of this grant opportunity is to improve the capacity of minority serving institutions (MSI) to conduct high-quality disability and rehabilitation research and development.
In carrying out a development project under a FIP 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.
Please note that this will be the funding opportunity for FIP-MSI Development proposals.
We will invite FIP-MSI Research proposals under a separate announcement.
NIDILRR plans to make four FIP-MSI awards.
Grants will have a 36- month project period, with three 12-month budget periods.
NIDILRR's FIP-MSI grants 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.
