In practical terms, the work is meant to produce actionable information that can be used by people with disabilities themselves, family members and caregivers, rehabilitation and service providers, policymakers, and other stakeholders who shape systems of care and community supports.
NIDILRR planned to make a single award under this opportunity in fiscal year 2023, which makes it a highly competitive, single-center funding announcement.
