The purpose of this workshop is to inform social work researchers and schools/departments of social work about applying for federal funding for participatory action research, qualitative and quantitative research, demonstration projects, fellowships, and other related activities at The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) in the Administration for Community Living. NIDILRR funds research and development projects designed to maximize the full inclusion and integration into society, employment/education, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficiency of individuals of all ages who have a behavioral or emotional, physical, cognitive, intellectual, developmental, neurological, or sensory disability. NIDILRR Project Officers will share information about 1) NIDILRR funding mechanisms, 2) knowledge translation and dissemination activities, 3) developing a successful NIDILRR proposal, 4) NIDILRRs unique peer review process, and 5) criteria used in scoring applications. In addition, resources will be shared such as where to sign up for automatic forecast and funding alerts, locating information on past funded projects in topic areas of interest, and becoming a peer reviewer. The workshop will conclude with a dialogue between participants and project officers for questions and answers. NIDILRR funding mechanisms of most interest to social work researchers and schools/departments of social work include: Mary Switzer Research Fellowships Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training Field-Initiated Projects (Research and Development) Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects
NIDILRR Section 21 program focuses on research capacity building for minority entities, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities and institutions, serving primarily Hispanic, Asian, and American Indian or Alaska Native students, and non-minority entities with an interest in improving understanding about the needs and outcomes of individuals with disabilities from minority populations. NIDILRR's Section 21 program includes grants from across NIDILRR's other grant funding mechanisms.
