Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 ACL NIDILRR REGE 0077
This funding opportunity, titled "Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers (RERCs) Program: RERC on Technology for People who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2024-ACL-NIDILRR-REGE-0077; CFDA 93.433), is a discretionary grant from the Administration for Community Living (ACL) through NIDILRR. It supports the establishment of a single Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center focused specifically on advancing technology and related services that are used by people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The overall RERC program exists to strengthen the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act by funding advanced engineering research, development, demonstration, and evaluation of innovative technologies that address concrete rehabilitation challenges or reduce environmental barriers that limit participation.
The center funded under this competition is expected to carry out research and development that improves understanding of, and helps optimize, technologies and service approaches relevant to deaf and hard of hearing communities. In practice, this means the award is meant to move beyond basic research and into applied engineering work that can lead to better tools, better ways to deploy those tools, and stronger evidence about what works. Consistent with the broader RERC model, the work is also intended to encourage changes in service delivery systems, support training opportunities, and help stimulate private-sector production and distribution of promising new technologies and equipment, so that advances do not remain stuck in the lab and can realistically reach end users.
NIDILRR expects to make one award under this announcement. The project period is 60 months total, structured as five consecutive 12-month budget periods, allowing for multi-year planning, iterative development, and evaluation over time. The maximum annual award amount (award ceiling) is $925,000, reflecting the scale typically required for a national center that performs research, development, demonstration, evaluation, training, and knowledge translation activities in parallel.
Eligibility is broad and includes state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other tribal organizations, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), small businesses, and other eligible entities as permitted in the notice. Faith-based and community organizations are eligible as long as they meet the stated eligibility requirements. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible to apply for or receive an award under this opportunity.
Key administrative details include an original application closing date of May 6, 2024, an activity category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and a grant funding instrument type. Overall, the opportunity is designed to fund one national-level RERC that can drive practical, engineering-based innovation and evidence generation around technologies and services that support communication access, participation, and improved outcomes for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, while also helping move successful solutions into real-world adoption through training, service system influence, and engagement with industry.Apply for HHS 2024 ACL NIDILRR REGE 0077
