Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 ACL NIDILRR RTEM 0082
The Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) on Employment Among Transition-Age Youth with Disabilities is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Administration for Community Living (ACL), through the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). It sits within the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program and is focused on strengthening the real-world effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act. The central idea is to fund a coordinated, multi-year center that combines rigorous research with practical training, technical assistance, and broad dissemination so that evidence actually reaches the people and systems that can use it.
This specific RRTC competition targets employment outcomes for transition-age youth with disabilities, meaning youth who are moving from secondary school into adult life, postsecondary education, training, and the workforce. The funded center is expected to generate useful knowledge about what improves employment-related outcomes for this age group and then actively translate that knowledge into tools, training, and support that can be applied by rehabilitation and workforce systems. The intended beneficiaries extend beyond youth themselves to include families, service providers, policymakers, and other stakeholders who influence services and employment pathways.
NIDILRR expects to fund one award under this announcement, making it a single-center competition. The project period is 60 months total, structured as five consecutive 12-month budget periods. The award ceiling is $875,000, and the funding activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflected in CFDA number 93.433. The funding instrument is a grant.
Eligibility is broad across public and private sectors, which is typical for NIDILRR center programs that rely on research and implementation partnerships. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, and special district governments; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding those that are institutions of higher education when applicable); for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses); small businesses; and other qualified entities. Faith-based and community organizations are eligible as long as they meet the stated requirements. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible to compete for or receive an award under this opportunity.
