This opportunity supports development projects under the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program, specifically focused on community living and participation for individuals with disabilities. Projects must leverage existing research to design and develop models, methods, tools, applications, and devices that benefit the target population. The program encourages proposals that translate research findings into practical interventions, prototypes, or processes to enhance independence and community engagement for people with disabilities. Depending on peer review rankings, awards may support research, development, or a combination of both.
