ACTION: Notice of Pre-application Meeting for a New Award Under the 
Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) Program for Fiscal 
Year 1994.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On October 19, 1993, and March 16, 1994, the National 
Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) published a 
notice in the Federal Register at 58 FR 54006 and 59 FR 12268 inviting 
applications for a new award under the RRTC program for fiscal year 
1994 on Rehabilitation in the Pacific Basin. The priority published in 
the Federal Register on October 19, 1993 at 58 FR 54004 on 
Rehabilitation in the Pacific Basin applied to these competitions. 
Based upon the selection criteria, the Secretary did not receive an 
acceptable application in response to these notices for the RRTC. 
Because there is a continuing need for the research, NIDRR published a 
third notice on July 5, 1994, in the Federal Register at 59 FR 34420 
again inviting applications for a new award under the RRTC Program for 
fiscal year 1994 on Rehabilitation in the Pacific Basin. The closing 
date for the transmittal of applications is August 19, 1994.
    The purpose of this notice is to invite interested parties to 
participate in a pre-application meeting to discuss the funding 
priority for the RRTC on Rehabilitation in the Pacific Basin or to 
receive technical assistance through individual consultation. The 
meeting will be held at the Department of Education, Office of Special 
Education and Rehabilitative Services, Federal Office Building, Room 
441, 50 United Nations Plaza, San Francisco, CA, on August 4, 1994, 
between 9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. NIDRR staff will also be available at 
this location from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on that same day to provide 
individual consultation and information about the funding priority.
