ADMINISTRATION FOR COMMUNITY LIVING: Funding Opportunity for Research on Communication Technologies
Funding Opportunity for Research on Communication TechnologiesApplications due Friday, April 4, 2025
ACL's National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) is announcing a new funding opportunity for a Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers (RERCs) program on communication technologies. The purpose of the RERCs program is to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act by conducting advanced engineering research and development of innovative technologies designed to solve particular rehabilitation problems or remove environmental barriers. RERCs also demonstrate and evaluate such technologies, facilitate service delivery system changes, stimulate the production and distribution of new technologies and equipment in the private sector, and provide training opportunities.
The grantee must conduct research and development activities toward new technologies and products that facilitate communication among people with disabilities who cannot rely on speech alone to be heard and understood. This grant will have a 60-month project period, with five 12-month budget periods. Contact Thomas.Corfman@acl.hhs.gov at NIDILRR if you have questions about this funding opportunity. |
