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 research project that is aimed at improving employment outcomes among people with disabilities. In carrying out a research project under this program, 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 or full scientific knowledge or (2) understanding of the subject or problem studied. 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.
