Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2023 ACL NIDILRR DPKT 0000
The Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program: Center on Knowledge Translation for Technology Transfer is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Community Living (ACL), through the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). It is listed under CFDA 93.433 and sits in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category. The broader DRRP program exists to support research and related activities that build practical knowledge, tools, and rehabilitation technology aimed at improving the lives of people with disabilities, particularly those with the greatest support needs. The program emphasizes outcomes tied to full participation in society, employment, independent living, family and caregiver support, and both economic and social self-sufficiency, while also strengthening the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended).
This specific competition focuses on one key gap in the rehabilitation technology pipeline: getting promising devices and products successfully transferred from development into real-world use. The Center on Knowledge Translation for Technology Transfer is intended to carry out rigorous research, development, technical assistance, dissemination, and utilization efforts that improve technology transfer outcomes for rehabilitation technology products and devices created by NIDRR-funded technology grantees. In practical terms, the project is meant to identify what works in moving innovations beyond prototypes and pilot demonstrations, translate that know-how into usable guidance and supports, and help technology developers and stakeholders apply proven strategies so that more rehabilitation technologies actually reach consumers, service systems, and markets.
NIDILRR planned to make a single award under this opportunity in FY 2023, meaning it is structured as one national center-type project rather than multiple smaller awards. The maximum annual funding listed (award ceiling) is $925,000, and the project period is 60 months total, organized into five 12-month budget periods. That multi-year structure signals an expectation of sustained work over time, such as building an evidence base around technology transfer practices, creating and refining training and technical assistance resources, conducting ongoing dissemination to different audiences, and measuring whether supported technology transfer approaches lead to better adoption and utilization of rehabilitation technology.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of applicants that could credibly operate a national research and technical assistance center. Eligible applicants include state, county, city, and special district governments; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); small businesses; and other entities as described in the notice. The opportunity was posted with a creation date of February 13, 2023, and an original application deadline of April 14, 2023, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
Overall, the grant is designed to strengthen the bridge between rehabilitation technology research and practical impact. Instead of funding the creation of a single device, it funds a center whose job is to develop and spread knowledge, methods, and hands-on support that increase the likelihood that NIDRR/NIDILRR-funded rehabilitation technologies can be successfully transferred, implemented, and ultimately used by people with disabilities and the systems that serve them.Apply for HHS 2023 ACL NIDILRR DPKT 0000
