Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACL NIDILRR DPGE 0358
The Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program opportunity titled "Independent Living Transition Services for Youth and Young Adults with Significant Disabilities from Minority Backgrounds" is a federal research grant designed to strengthen what works in helping young people with significant disabilities move successfully from school into adult life. It sits within the broader DRRP purpose of building and testing research, demonstrations, training, and related efforts that improve inclusion in society, employment outcomes, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficiency for people with disabilities, especially those with the most severe disabilities. The work is intended to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
This specific competition is a joint effort between two offices within the Administration for Community Living (ACL) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) and the Independent Living Administration (ILA). The central focus is on Centers for Independent Living (CILs) and the transition supports they provide. The target population is youth and young adults with significant disabilities from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds who were eligible for individualized education programs (IEPs) and who have completed secondary education or otherwise left school. In practical terms, the grant aims to help CILs deliver transition services that are more clearly defined, better supported by evidence, and more responsive to the needs and experiences of minority youth with significant disabilities as they enter postsecondary life.
Applicants are required to carry out a structured set of research and development activities. First, they must systematically identify promising practices that help minority youth and young adults with significant disabilities transition into adulthood, which implies a deliberate, methodical approach to mapping what is already being done and what shows potential. Second, they must develop at least two manualized transition interventions. "Manualized" means the interventions need to be clearly documented in a way that others can follow and replicate, typically including defined components, steps, staffing roles, materials, and guidance on implementation and fidelity. Third, applicants must assess both feasibility and efficacy of these interventions, meaning they need to test whether the interventions can realistically be delivered in real-world settings (feasibility) and whether they produce meaningful improvements in outcomes (efficacy).
Beyond producing research findings, the grant expects a strong "use and uptake" plan. Each applicant must include dissemination, training, and technical assistance for CILs, specifically aimed at improving how CILs support the transition of youth and young adults with significant disabilities from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds. This requirement reflects the grant's emphasis on translating research into practice rather than leaving results on paper. A key condition tied to relevance and practicality is that CILs must be substantially involved throughout the project, not just as sites for recruitment, but in the design and implementation of the work across research, intervention development, dissemination, training, and technical assistance.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant competition (not a formula program) in the "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" category, listed under CFDA 93.433. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2019-ACL-NIDILRR-DPGE-0358. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and other Native American tribal organizations, along with additional eligible entities as clarified in the full announcement. The agency anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $1,293,390. The opportunity was created on June 19, 2019, with an original closing date of August 19, 2019, and electronic submissions were due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline.
Overall, the grant is aimed at building a stronger evidence base for CIL-led transition services for minority youth and young adults with significant disabilities, producing replicable intervention models, testing whether those models work and can be implemented at scale, and actively equipping the CIL network with training and technical assistance so the results lead to better real-world transition outcomes.Apply for HHS 2019 ACL NIDILRR DPGE 0358
