Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACL NIDILRR ARHF 0369
The Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Program - Health and Function is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Community Living (ACL) and its National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). It sits within NIDILRR's broader Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program and is focused on building the next generation of highly skilled rehabilitation and disability researchers. The core idea is to fund a training program that gives advanced research preparation and hands-on experience to professionals who already hold a doctorate (or a comparable advanced degree) and who also bring relevant clinical or related professional experience.
The program is designed to strengthen the national capacity for high-quality, multidisciplinary rehabilitation research, with an emphasis on improving outcomes for people with disabilities specifically within NIDILRR's "health and function" domain. In practice, this means the funded project is expected to offer structured, advanced-level research training that helps trainees deepen their ability to design rigorous studies, work across disciplines, and contribute meaningful evidence that can improve real-world services and supports. A notable priority is developing rehabilitation researchers who can connect research to practice and policy, particularly where research can improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act.
ARRT projects are expected to train rehabilitation researchers broadly, and they explicitly encourage the inclusion and development of researchers with disabilities. The training focus should align with research areas that support the implementation and objectives of the Rehabilitation Act, meaning the work is not just academic; it is meant to generate knowledge and develop researchers whose work can translate into better systems, services, and outcomes for individuals with disabilities. Although the opportunity description does not list specific required research topics beyond the "health and function" domain, the intent is clear: the training should prepare researchers to produce strong, actionable evidence in disability and rehabilitation research that can improve health-related functioning and participation.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 93.433. The funding opportunity number is HHS 2020 ACL NIDILRR ARHF 0369. Eligible applicants are limited to institutions of higher education, including both public/state-controlled universities and private universities. The award ceiling is $200,000, and the announcement anticipates making one award, which suggests a competitive process with a single funded training program under this particular competition.
Key dates included in the announcement show it was created on November 19, 2019, with an original closing date of January 21, 2020. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Overall, this opportunity supports one university-led advanced training program intended to produce well-prepared rehabilitation researchers capable of conducting multidisciplinary research that improves health and functional outcomes for people with disabilities and advances the goals of the Rehabilitation Act.Apply for HHS 2020 ACL NIDILRR ARHF 0369
