Grant Description
Grant to a USA Tribe, IHE, nonprofit or for-profit organization, or government agency for research to build an effective employment program for people with disabilities. Applicants are advised to complete required registrations well in advance of the deadline. Funding is intended to establish strong evidence regarding the effectiveness of employment interventions to generate positive competitive integrated employment outcomes among people with disabilities, and to conduct research to test the effectiveness of such interventions when implemented widely in real-world settings.

The purpose of the DRRPs is to achieve the goals of, and improve the effectiveness of, services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act, by generating new knowledge, or developing methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that advance a wide range of health and function, community living, and employment outcomes among people with disabilities, especially people with disabilities who have the greatest support needs. Under this particular DRRP priority, the grantee must conduct research to further build the evidence base for an employment intervention or program that promotes competitive integrated employment among people with disabilities. The DRRP must focus its research on an existing intervention or program that has previous evidence of efficacy. The DRRP must further strengthen that evidence base or bring the intervention to scale in real-world settings.
