SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program

    The purpose of the DRRP program is to plan and conduct research, 
demonstration projects, training, and related activities that help to 
maximize the full inclusion and integration of individuals with 
disabilities into society and to improve the effectiveness of services 
authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (the Act).
    An applicant for assistance under this program must demonstrate in 
its application how it will address, in whole or in part, the needs of 
individuals with disabilities from minority backgrounds (34 CFR 
350.40(a)).
    The approaches an applicant may take to meet this requirement may 
include one or more of the following (34 CFR 350.40(b)):
    (1) Proposing project objectives addressing the needs of 
individuals with disabilities from minority backgrounds.
    (2) Demonstrating that the project will address a problem that is 
of particular significance to individuals with disabilities from 
minority backgrounds.
    (3) Demonstrating that individuals from minority backgrounds will 
be included in study samples in sufficient numbers to generate 
information pertinent to individuals with disabilities from minority 
backgrounds.
    (4) Drawing study samples and program participant rosters from 
populations or areas that include individuals from minority 
backgrounds.
    (5) Providing outreach to individuals with disabilities from 
minority backgrounds to ensure that they are aware of rehabilitation 
services, clinical care, or training offered by the project.
    (6) Disseminating materials to or otherwise increasing the access 
to disability information among minority populations.
    Under the DRRP program, we define a research project as basic or 
applied (34 CFR 350.5). Research is classified on a continuum from 
basic to applied:
    (1) Basic research is research in which the investigator is 
concerned primarily with gaining new knowledge or understanding of a 
subject without reference to any immediate application or utility.
    (2) Applied research is research in which the investigator is 
primarily interested in developing new knowledge, information, or 
understanding which can be applied to a predetermined rehabilitation 
problem or need. Applied research builds on selected findings from 
basic research.
    In carrying out a research activity under this program (34 CFR 
350.13), a grantee must:
    (a) Identify one or more hypotheses; and
    (b) Based on the hypotheses identified, perform an intensive 
systematic study directed toward--
    (1) New or full scientific knowledge; or
    (2) Understanding of the subject or problem studied.
    Under the DRRP program, we define a development activity as the use 
of knowledge and understanding gained from research to create 
materials, devices, systems, or methods beneficial to the target 
population, including design and development of prototypes and 
processes.

    Note: NIDRR supports the goals of President Bush's New Freedom 
Initiative (NFI). The NFI can be accessed on the Internet at the 
following site: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/freedominitiative/freedominitiative.html.

    The final priorities are in concert with NIDRR's Long-Range Plan 
(the Plan). The Plan is comprehensive and integrates many issues 
relating to disability and rehabilitation research topics. While 
applicants will find many sections throughout the Plan that support 
potential research to be conducted under these final priorities, a 
specific reference is included for each topic presented in this notice. 
The Plan can be accessed on the Internet at the following site: http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSERS/NIDRR/Products.
    Through the implementation of the Plan, NIDRR seeks to: (1) Improve 
the quality and utility of disability and rehabilitation research; (2) 
foster an exchange of expertise, information, and training to 
facilitate the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the unique 
needs of traditionally underserved populations; (3) determine best 
strategies and programs to improve rehabilitation outcomes for 
underserved populations; (4) identify research gaps; (5) identify 
mechanisms of integrating research and practice; and (6) disseminate 
findings.
    We published a separate notice of each proposed priority (NPP) in 
the Federal Register on May 9, 2003.

Priority 1--Research Projects (84.133A-1) (68 FR 25014).
Priority 2--Research Infrastructure Capacity Building (84.133A-4) (68 
FR 25009).
Priority 3--Technical Assistance Resource Center on Parenting with a 
Disability (84.133A-5) (68 FR 25017).
Priority 4--Development Projects (84.133A-7) (68 FR 25006).

    We have combined these four priorities in this notice of final 
priorities (NFP).
    There are no significant differences between the NPPs and this NFP.

Analysis of Comments and Changes

    In response to our invitation in the NPPs, several parties 
submitted comments.
    We discuss these comments and changes in the Analysis of Comments 
and Changes section published as an appendix to this notice.

    Note: This NFP does not solicit applications. In any year in 
which we choose to use one or more of these priorities, we invite 
applications through a notice in the Federal Register. A notice 
inviting applications for FY 2003 awards was published in the 
Federal Register on May 29,

[[Page 44056]]

2003 (68 FR 32026). When inviting applications we designate each 
priority as absolute, competitive preference, or invitational. The 
effect of each type of priority follows:

    Absolute priority: Under an absolute priority, we consider only 
applications that meet the priority (34 CFR 75.105(c)(3)).
    Competitive preference priority: Under a competitive preference 
priority, we give competitive preference to an application by either 
(1) Awarding additional points, depending on how well or the extent to 
which the application meets the priority (34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i)); or 
(2) selecting an application that meets the priority over an 
application of comparable merit that does not meet the priority (34 CFR 
75.105(c)(2)(ii)).
    Invitational priority: Under an invitational priority, we are 
particularly interested in applications that meet the invitational 
priority. However, we do not give an application that meets the 
priority a competitive or absolute preference over other applications 
(34 CFR 75.105(c)(1)).

Background

    The background statements for the following priorities were 
published in the NPPs on May 9, 2003.

Priorities

Priority 1--Research Projects
    The Assistant Secretary will fund one or more DRRPs that will focus 
on stabilizing and improving lives of persons with disabilities. In 
carrying out the purposes of this priority, projects awarded under each 
of the following topics must, in consultation with the NIDRR project 
officer:
    [sbull] Coordinate and establish partnerships, as appropriate, with 
other academic institutions and organizations that are relevant to the 
project's proposed activities;
    [sbull] Demonstrate use of culturally appropriate data collection, 
evaluation, dissemination, training and research methodologies, and 
significant knowledge of the needs of individuals with disabilities 
from traditionally underserved populations;
    [sbull] Involve, as appropriate, individuals with disabilities or 
their family members, or both, in all aspects of the research as well 
as in the design of clinical services and dissemination activities;
    [sbull] Demonstrate how the research project can transfer research 
findings to practical applications in planning, policy-making, program 
administration, and delivery of services to individuals with 
disabilities; and
    [sbull] Disseminate findings to appropriate audiences, including 
information on best practices, where applicable.
    An applicant must propose research activities and dissemination of 
findings under one of the following topics:
    (a) Self-Determination in Transition to Adulthood for Youth with 
Disabilities: Under this topic, a project must conduct research and 
disseminate information about factors that enhance and promote self-
determination for youth with disabilities who are transitioning into 
adulthood. The project may include research on interventions that (1) 
enable successful transition to life activities such as independent 
living, higher education, and employment; and (2) improve functional 
outcomes such as enhanced memory, learning, visual perception, auditory 
reception, literacy, and self-advocacy. The reference for this topic 
can be found in the Plan, chapter 3, Employment Outcomes: Transition 
from School to Work.
    (b) Examining Violence Against People With Disabilities: Under this 
topic, a project must conduct research and disseminate information on 
violence against persons with disabilities. Activities may include 
research on statistics related to criminal victimization of people with 
disabilities compiled under the 1998 Crime Victims with Disabilities 
Awareness Act (Pub. L. 301-105); study of data from enhanced crime 
incident reports; and analysis of data and research findings on the 
impact of violence on specific populations such as, but not limited to, 
individuals with cognitive or intellectual disabilities, women with 
disabilities, individuals with sensory disabilities, and individuals 
with mobility disabilities. The reference for this topic can be found 
in the Plan, chapter 2, Dimensions of Disability: Emerging Universe of 
Disability.
    (c) Family and Cultural Aspects of Independent Living: Under this 
topic, a project must conduct research and disseminate information on 
how individuals with disabilities draw upon their families (or those 
with whom they share living arrangements) to obtain necessary supports 
such as economic assistance, informal and formal care giving, and 
emotional nurturing. Activities may include: (1) Identifying factors 
that help or hinder NFI goals regarding educational attainment, home 
ownership, and full access in community life; (2) research on ways that 
family and shared-community living arrangements may facilitate 
independence and help implement the Supreme Court's Olmstead v. L.C. 
ruling; and (3) research on how family and shared-community living 
arrangements may facilitate meeting the objectives for people with 
disabilities in Healthy People 2010. The references for this topic can 
be found in the Plan, chapter 2, Dimensions of Disability: Disability, 
Employment, and Independent Living, and chapter 6, Research on Social 
Roles.
    (d) Older Women and Falls: Under this topic, a project must 
identify and compare outcomes-oriented rehabilitation interventions for 
older women to overcome the disabilities and secondary conditions 
associated with falls and to prevent secondary falls and other 
complications. The project must examine risk factors for falls (e.g., 
age, disability, medications use, health, functional ability, 
environmental hazards). The references for this topic can be found in 
the Plan, chapter 2, Dimensions of Disability: Emerging Universe of 
Disability, and chapter 4, Health and Function: Research on Trauma 
Rehabilitation; Research on Aging.
    (e) Issues in Asset Accumulation and Tax Policy for People with 
Disabilities: Under this topic, a project must conduct research on 
fiscal and social environmental barriers to economic empowerment and 
self-sufficiency for people with disabilities and the impact of 
legislation designed to promote economic self-sufficiency and 
facilitate community integration. The project must conduct systematic 
analysis of the relationship between tax policy and asset accumulation 
for individuals with disabilities and improved economic and community 
integration outcomes. This includes testing the impact of asset 
accumulation on economic improvements and community integration for 
individuals with disabilities. The reference for this topic can be 
found in the Plan, chapter 3, Employment Outcomes: Economic Policy and 
Labor Market Trends.
    (f) Identifying Opportunities and Barriers to Entrepreneurship for 
People with Disabilities: Under this topic, a project must conduct 
research on ways to improve employment outcomes of individuals with 
disabilities through self-employment and entrepreneurial strategies and 
how to train both people with disabilities and counselors in successful 
use of these strategies. The research must include analysis of the 
effects of policies and practices of the vocational rehabilitation 
system; related programs such as those of the Small Business 
Administration; and other public, private, or nonprofit employment 
organizations on self-employment options for individuals with 
disabilities. The reference for this topic can be found in the Plan, 
chapter

[[Page 44057]]

3, Employment Outcomes: Economic Policy and Labor Market Trends.
Priority 2--Research Infrastructure Capacity Building
    The Assistant Secretary will fund one DRRP that will focus on a 
research, development, and dissemination project on Research 
Infrastructure Capacity Building. The reference for this topic can be 
found in the Plan, chapter 9, Capacity Building: Priorities in Capacity 
Building. In carrying out this priority the DRRP must:
    (1) Develop and evaluate an innovative method(s) for establishing 
long-term collaborative research partnerships, with an emphasis on 
relationships among minority entities, Indian tribes, and nonminority 
entities;
    (2) Research, develop, and evaluate strategies to assess the 
efficacy of existing research theories, methodologies, and measures for 
studying and describing underrepresented individuals with disabilities 
from minority racial and ethnic populations and their needs;
    (3) Research, identify and modify or develop, and evaluate 
scientifically valid measurement strategies and methodologies for 
research involving the study of underrepresented minority racial and 
ethnic populations; determine their efficacy; and examine the 
implications of introducing newly developed approaches designed 
specifically for the study of this population;
    (4) Develop and evaluate research principles or standards for 
culturally appropriate and linguistically competent disability and 
rehabilitation research, and disseminate guidelines; and
    (5) Develop, implement, and evaluate approaches for disseminating 
research findings, information about best practices for research 
involving underrepresented minority racial and ethnic populations, and 
information about research collaboration.
    In carrying out the purposes of the priority, the DRRP must:
    [sbull] In the first three months of the grant, develop and 
implement a research partnership plan ensuring that all activities are 
predominantly focused on research infrastructure capacity building and 
provide for mutual benefit for each member of the partnership, 
including persons with disabilities or their representatives;
    [sbull] In the first year of the grant, implement a plan to 
disseminate research results;
    [sbull] In the third year of the grant, conduct a state-of-the-
science conference focused on the funded area of research and related 
topics;
    [sbull] In the fourth year of the grant, publish and disseminate a 
comprehensive report on the outcomes and proceedings of the conference;
    [sbull] Demonstrate how the research project can transfer research 
findings to practical applications in planning, policy-making, program 
administration, and delivery of services to individuals with 
disabilities; and
    [sbull] Conduct ongoing program evaluation and produce a closing 
report describing research outcomes, as they relate to the research 
goals and objectives, and future directions for research infrastructure 
development and capacity building.
Priority 3--Resource and Technical Assistance Center on Parenting with 
a Disability
    The Assistant Secretary will fund one DRRP that will focus a 
dissemination, utilization, training, and technical assistance project 
to be a ``Resource and Technical Assistance Center on Parenting with a 
Disability.'' The references for this topic can be found in the Plan, 
chapter 2, Dimensions of Disability: Disability, Employment, and 
Independent Living, and chapter 8, Knowledge Dissemination and 
Utilization: Overview. The DRRP must:
    (1) Develop quality standards to guide the identification of 
information for dissemination;
    (2) Provide information and technical assistance to people with 
disabilities who are or wish to be parents. A variety of methods and 
tools will be developed to provide information and technical 
assistance. Tools might include such items as: catalogues and listings 
of assistive technology, fact sheets, and articles for publication in 
various media. Methods to reach interested parties might include: 
interactive features of the Internet, wide area telephone service, 
presentations at meetings or conferences and personal visits;
    (3) Develop parent-to-parent support methods, including approaches 
for sharing of information about ``best practices'' in parenting with a 
disability;
    (4) Train parents, potential parents, service providers, and others 
on issues relating to parenting with a disability and the research, 
information, and services available to them; and
    (5) Evaluate project technical assistance and information 
dissemination activities.
    In carrying out the purposes of the priority, the DRRP must:
    [sbull] Through consultation with the NIDRR project officer, 
coordinate and establish partnerships, as appropriate, with other 
projects sponsored by OSERS, academic institutions, and organizations 
that are relevant to the project's proposed activities;
    [sbull] Demonstrate how the project will yield measurable results 
for people with disabilities;
    [sbull] Identify specific performance targets and propose outcome 
indicators, along with time lines to reach these targets; and
    [sbull] Using information developed from the project's 
dissemination, training, and technical assistance activities, with 
emphasis on materials from NIDRR projects, provide materials, 
consultation, technical assistance, and related capacity-building 
activities to NIDRR grantees on how to assist parents with 
disabilities.
Priority 4--Development Projects
    The Assistant Secretary will fund one or more DRRPs that will focus 
on stabilizing and improving lives of persons with disabilities. In 
carrying out the purposes of the priority, projects awarded under each 
of the following topics, in consultation with the NIDRR project 
officer, must:
    [sbull] Coordinate and establish partnerships, as appropriate, with 
other academic institutions and organizations that are relevant to the 
project's proposed activities;
    [sbull] Demonstrate use of culturally appropriate data collection, 
evaluation, dissemination, training, and development methodologies and 
significant knowledge of the needs of individuals with disabilities 
from traditionally underserved populations;
    [sbull] Involve, as appropriate, individuals with disabilities or 
their family members, or both, in all aspects of development as well as 
in the design of clinical services and dissemination activities;
    [sbull] Demonstrate how the project will yield measurable results 
for people with disabilities;
    [sbull] Identify specific performance targets and propose outcome 
indicators, along with time lines to reach these targets; and
    [sbull] Disseminate findings on products and technologies to 
appropriate audiences, including information on best practices, where 
applicable.
    An applicant must propose development activities and dissemination 
of findings under one of the following topics:
    (a) Voting Access and Privacy. Under this topic, a project must 
develop technologies, strategies, and approaches that can be used to 
improve and expand access, including physical accessibility,

[[Page 44058]]

to voting accurately, independently, and privately for all citizens 
with disabilities. Voting is a citizen's most basic right. Yet many 
individuals with disabilities find it difficult, if not impossible, to 
vote without a poll worker's or another individual's assistance. 
Development products may address, but are not limited to, voting 
apparatus, accommodations information, training materials (i.e., books, 
guidelines, electronic materials) for public elections officials and 
citizens, and cost analysis and evaluation of products and technologies 
to enhance voting access for citizens with disabilities. The reference 
for this topic can be found in the Plan, chapter 5, Technology for 
Access and Function: Research to Improve Accessibility of 
Telecommunications and Information Technology.
    (b) Technologies for Families and Caregivers. Under this topic, a 
project must develop technologies, strategies, and approaches that will 
facilitate and improve the continuum of activities and reduce the 
demands involved in care giving for individuals with disabilities. The 
upsurge of programs such as ``Long-Term Care'' and ``Home-Health Care'' 
has stimulated the need for tools and strategies that enable 
individuals with disabilities to live longer and more productively in 
their communities. New and improved technologies for care giving will 
help implement the Supreme Court's Olmstead v. L.C. decision. 
Development products may address, but are not limited to, evaluation 
and assessment of existing technology solutions, accommodations 
information, training materials (i.e., books, guidelines, electronic 
materials) for public officials and citizens, and cost analysis and 
evaluation of products and technologies to enhance community 
integration, personal assistance services, and independent living for 
citizens with disabilities. The reference for this topic can be found 
in the Plan, chapter 5, Technology for Access and Function: Assistive 
Technology for Individuals.

Executive Order 12866

    This NFP has been reviewed in accordance with Executive Order 
12866. Under the terms of the order, we have assessed the potential 
costs and benefits of this regulatory action.
    The potential costs associated with the NFP are those resulting 
from statutory requirements and those we have determined as necessary 
for administering this program effectively and efficiently.
    In assessing the potential costs and benefits--both quantitative 
and qualitative--of this NFP, we have determined that the benefits of 
the priorities justify the costs.

Summary of Potential Costs and Benefits

    The potential costs associated with these priorities are minimal 
while the benefits are significant. Grantees may anticipate costs 
associated with completing the application process in terms of staff 
time, copying, and mailing or delivery. The use of e-Application 
technology reduces mailing and copying costs significantly.
    The benefits of the DRRP Program have been well established over 
the years in that similar projects have been successfully completed. 
These final priorities will generate new knowledge through research to 
focus on stabilizing and improving lives of persons with disabilities.
    The benefit of these final priorities and project requirements will 
be the establishment of new DRRP projects that generate, disseminate, 
and promote the use of new information that will improve the options 
for disabled individuals to perform regular activities in the 
community.

Appendix

Analysis of Comments and Changes

General

    Comment: Several commenters raised concerns that NIDRR did not 
publish a priority that specifically targeted Native Americans.
    Discussion: The priority on Research Infrastructure Capacity 
Building includes Native Americans as a proposed target group. 
Nothing in the other published priorities precludes applicants from 
proposing Native Americans as the target population for the proposed 
research. The peer review process will evaluate the merits of the 
proposal.
    Changes: None.
    Comment: One commenter expressed several concerns about 
references to racial, ethnic, and linguistic minority populations in 
the NIDRR priorities. These concerns included: (1) NIDRR's use of a 
standard statement about inclusion of minorities in research 
activities; (2) combining ethnic categories into one proposed 
priority is inappropriate; (3) NIDRR does not ensure that applicants 
demonstrate ``who, what, when, and where'' in addressing the needs 
of individuals with disabilities from minority backgrounds; and (4) 
the American Indian and Alaska Native populations are a culturally 
and linguistically diverse population. Commenters also noted that 
many caregivers do not speak, write, or read the English language, 
and they questioned whether it was likely that potential grantees 
would deal with caregivers who do not speak, write, or read the 
English language or would address minority backgrounds including 
American Indians and Alaska Natives with disabilities.
    Discussion: (1) The standard statement that each NIDRR applicant 
must demonstrate in its application how it will address, in whole or 
in part, the needs of individuals with disabilities from minority 
backgrounds is required by 34 CFR 350.40(a), and as a result, cannot 
be changed by this priority. (2) Nothing in these priorities 
precludes an applicant from focusing on any racial, ethnic, or 
minority population, including American Indians and Alaska Natives. 
(3) In section 350.40(b), NIDRR lists some of the approaches 
applicants may take to meet the requirement in Sec.  350.40(a), 
including, for example, addressing a problem that is of particular 
significance to individuals with disabilities from minority 
backgrounds and generating information pertinent to individuals with 
disabilities from minority backgrounds. (4) In the background 
section to these priorities, language barriers and lack of 
understanding about cultural values and beliefs are identified as 
challenges to the effectiveness of rehabilitation services received 
by individual with disabilities form minority backgrounds. An 
applicant may choose to include linguistic or cultural issues in the 
proposed research activities. However, NIDRR has no basis for 
requiring that all applicants adopt the same approach or

[[Page 44059]]

address the same issue. The peer review process will evaluate the 
merits of the proposal.
    Changes: None.
    Violence:
    Comment: One commenter expressed an opinion that focusing on 
analysis of ``extant data from crime reports'' might unnecessarily 
limit the scope of research in the proposed DRRP priority on 
violence.
    Discussion: NIDRR agrees that it might be valuable to collect 
new data to answer research questions in this area. Nothing in the 
priority precludes an applicant from suggesting such an approach. 
However, NIDRR has no basis for requiring all applicants to collect 
new data. The peer review process will evaluate the merits of the 
proposal.
    Changes: None.

Technical Assistance Resource Center

    Comment: One commenter suggested that the Technical Assistance 
Resource Center provide information on coordinated services for 
parents who are deaf or hard of hearing.
    Discussion: NIDRR agrees that this might be a useful service. 
Nothing in the priority prohibits an applicant from suggesting this 
approach. However, NIDRR has no basis for requiring that all 
applicants take this approach. The peer review process will evaluate 
the merits of the proposal.
    Changes: None.

Research Methods for Underserved Populations

    Comment: One commenter expressed concern that Native Americans 
and Alaska Natives are listed with other minority population 
categories as a potential focus of this priority and recommended 
that the priority should specify the target population so that 
researchers studying different ethnic populations do not have to 
compete against each other.
    Discussion: NIDRR is committed to improving research methods for 
studying all minority and ethnic populations. Nothing in the 
priority precludes an applicant from targeting a specific 
population. The peer review process will evaluate the merits of the 
proposal.
    Changes: None.
