SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Disability and Rehabilitation Research
Projects (DRRP) Program
The purpose of the DRRP program is
to plan and conduct research,
E:\FR\FM\05MYN1.SGM
05MYN1
23846
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 86 / Thursday, May 5, 2005 / Notices
demonstration projects, training, and
related activities that help to maximize
the full inclusion and integration of
individuals with disabilities into society
and to improve the effectiveness of
services authorized under the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended
(Act).
Under the DRRP program, we define
a development activity as using
knowledge and understanding gained
from research to create materials,
devices, systems, or methods beneficial
to the target population, including
design and development of prototypes
and processes (34 CFR 350.16). We
define a dissemination activity as the
systematic distribution of information or
knowledge through a variety of ways to
potential users or beneficiaries (34 CFR
350.18). We define a technical
assistance activity as the provision of
expertise or information for use in
problem-solving (34 CFR 350.19).
Background
KDU projects ensure widespread
distribution, in usable formats, of
practical scientific and technological
information generated by research,
development, and demonstration
projects. The effective dissemination
and utilization of disability and
rehabilitation research results are
critical to achieving NIDRR’s mission.
Research findings can improve the
quality of life of people with disabilities
and further their full inclusion into
society. These benefits are feasible only
if the findings and technologies are
available to, known by, and accessible
to potential users.
NIDRR is particularly interested in
ensuring that information to be
disseminated is of high quality and is
based on scientifically rigorous research
and development and that potential
users have the information they need to
judge the quality of research and
development findings and products and
the relevance of these findings and
products to their particular needs. Endusers with limited scientific training, in
particular, may need assistance in order
to understand competing research
claims or determine the relevance of
particular findings to their individual
situations. In addition, given the nature
of scientific study, practical information
often is based on cumulative
knowledge, not upon the results of any
one study. Therefore, we encourage
potential applicants to examine
procedures used by such organizations
as the Campbell Collaboration (https://
www.campbellcollaboration.org/), the
Cochrane Collaboration (https://
www.cochrane.org/), and the

when designing synthesis and
dissemination activities. NIDRR is
committed to establishing high-quality
procedures for the dissemination of
information from rehabilitation and
disability research and development
projects and will be working, together
with its grantees, to identify standards
to guide its work in this area.
Analysis of Comments and Changes
We published a notice of proposed
priorities (NPP) for this program in the
Federal Register on August 27, 2004 (69
FR 52651). This notice of final priorities
(NFP) contains a number of substantive
differences from the NPP. We discuss
these changes in the Analysis of
Comments and Changes section
published as an appendix to this notice.
After further review of the structure of
the priority language in the NPP, we
believe that it would be clearer to
characterize the requirements under the
topic areas as separate priorities rather
than topic areas. This change in the
structure of the priority language does
not substantively change the
requirements proposed in the NPP.
Note: This notice does not solicit
applications. In any year in which we choose
to use either of these final priorities, we
invite applications through a notice in the
Federal Register. When inviting applications
we designate each priority as absolute,
competitive preference, or invitational. The
effect of each type of priority follows:
Absolute priority: Under an absolute
priority, we consider only applications that
meet the priority (34 CFR 75.105(c)(3)).
Competitive preference priority: Under a
competitive preference priority, we give
competitive preference to an application by
either (1) awarding additional points,
depending on how well or the extent to
which the application meets the competitive
priority (34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i)); or (2)
selecting an application that meets the
competitive priority over an application of
comparable merit that does not meet the
priority (34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(ii)).
Invitational priority: Under an invitational
priority, we are particularly interested in
applications that meet the invitational
priority. However, we do not give an
application that meets the invitational
priority a competitive or absolute preference
over other applications (34 CFR 75.105(c)(1)).
Note: NIDRR supports the goals of
President Bush’s New Freedom Initiative
(NFI). The NFI can be accessed on the
Internet at the following site: https://
www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/newfreedom/.
These final priorities are in concert
with NIDRR’s 1999–2003 Long-Range
Plan (Plan). The Plan is comprehensive
and integrates many issues relating to
disability and rehabilitation research
topics. While applicants will find many
PO 00000

sections throughout the Plan that
support the activities to be conducted
under these final priorities, specific
references to the topics of the priorities
are included elsewhere in this notice.
The Plan can be accessed on the Internet
at the following site: https://www.ed.gov/
rschstat/research/pubs/.
Through the implementation of the
Plan, NIDRR seeks to: (1) Improve the
quality and utility of disability and
rehabilitation research; (2) foster an
exchange of expertise, information, and
training to facilitate the advancement of
knowledge and understanding of the
unique needs of traditionally
underserved populations; (3) determine
best strategies and programs to improve
rehabilitation outcomes for underserved
populations; (4) identify research gaps;
(5) identify mechanisms of integrating
research and practice; and (6)
disseminate findings.
Priorities
The Assistant Secretary for Special
Education and Rehabilitative Services
will use two priorities, Priority #1—
International Exchange of Information
and Experts in Disability and
Rehabilitation Research and Priority
#2—Innovative KDU for Disability and
Professional Organizations and
Stakeholders, to fund up to two DRRPs
to identify or develop dissemination
methods and provide technical
assistance that focus on innovative
knowledge sharing solutions to improve
the lives of persons with disabilities.
The goal of the KDU projects is to
provide end-users with the information
they need to make choices based on
high-quality scientific research and
development. Under each of these
priorities, the KDU project, in
consultation with the NIDRR project
officer, must:
(1) Identify topic areas and target
audiences, which must include people
with disabilities and their families;
(2) Help NIDRR identify standards to
guide the systematic review and
synthesis of disability and rehabilitation
research and development studies;
(3) Help NIDRR identify research
syntheses in selected topic areas and
make this information available, in
preferred formats, to the target
audiences; and
(4) Help NIDRR identify or develop
effective and cost-effective outreach
strategies to provide target audiences
with evidence-based information, and
determine whether and how the
information is used.
In carrying out these requirements
within either priority, each KDU project
also must:
E:\FR\FM\05MYN1.SGM
05MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 86 / Thursday, May 5, 2005 / Notices
• Involve, as appropriate, individuals
with disabilities or their family
members, or both, in all aspects of the
design and development of
dissemination activities;
• Demonstrate how the project will
yield measurable results for people with
disabilities;
• Identify specific performance
targets and propose outcome indicators,
along with timelines to reach these
targets; and
• Coordinate with other NIDRRfunded KDU projects as identified
through consultation with the NIDRR
project officer.
A project must focus on one of the
following priority areas:
Priority 1—International Exchange of
Information and Experts in Disability
and Rehabilitation Research: The
purpose of a project under this priority
is to improve the exchange of disability
and rehabilitation research and
development information between the
United States and other countries in
order to develop new knowledge and
methods in the rehabilitation of
individuals with disabilities in the
United States, share information found
useful in other nations, and increase the
skill levels of rehabilitation personnel.
Under this priority, the KDU project
must:
• Develop innovative methods for
compiling and exchanging information
between the United States and other
nations on rehabilitation research and
development, as well as information on
disability policies that maximize the full
inclusion, social integration,
employment, and independent living of
individuals of all ages with disabilities.
• Provide targeted outreach to and
obtain insight from sources such as
researchers; consumers; and voluntary,
non-profit, and philanthropic
organizations that are operating
programs related to disability and
rehabilitation research in other nations.
• Conduct at least one rehabilitation
research information conference per
funding cycle involving participants
from the United States and other
countries to provide state-of-the-art
information on international
rehabilitation research efforts and
policies that affect people with
disabilities.
• Conduct an international exchange
of researchers and technical assistance
experts between other countries and the
United States to provide firsthand
experiences in cross-cultural
communication and to form alliances
for collaborative research or information
sharing.

Jkt 205001
Chapter 10, Enhancing NIDRR’s
Management of Research.
Priority 2—Innovative KDU for
Disability and Professional
Organizations and Stakeholders: The
purpose of a project under this priority
is to disseminate information on
disability and rehabilitation research
and development findings to a
particular constituency by using
organizations that serve that
constituency as intermediaries. Such
organizations, because they have
established strategies for providing
information to their constituencies—
e.g., conferences, newsletters, and
workshops—may represent an effective
means of dissemination. Under this
priority, the KDU project must:
• Produce information digests that
will be suitable for further
dissemination through the partner
organizations.
• Be knowledgeable about the target
audiences represented by the
organizations.
• Develop innovative means of
communication with the community
served by the organizations.
• Serve as an information conduit for
interactive discussions with the
organizations that will help inform
future NIDRR research priorities and
disseminate the findings of NIDRRsponsored research.
The reference to the topic of this
priority may be found in the Plan,
Chapter 8, Knowledge Dissemination
and Utilization, and Chapter 10,
Enhancing NIDRR’s Management of
Research.
Executive Order 12866
This NFP has been reviewed in
accordance with Executive Order 12866.
Under the terms of the order, we have
assessed the potential costs and benefits
of this regulatory action.
The potential costs associated with
the NFP are those resulting from
statutory requirements and those we
have determined as necessary for
administering this program effectively
and efficiently.
In assessing the potential costs and
benefits—both quantitative and
qualitative—of this NFP, we have
determined that the benefits of the final
priorities justify the costs.
Summary of potential costs and
benefits: The potential costs associated
with these final priorities are minimal,
while the benefits are significant.
Grantees may incur some costs
associated with completing the
application process in terms of staff
time, copying, and mailing or delivery.
The use of e-Application technology
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4703

reduces mailing and copying costs
significantly.
The benefits of the DRRP Program
have been well established over the
years. Similar projects have been
completed successfully and have
produced findings that help improve the
lives of individuals with disabilities.
These final priorities will generate new
strategies for disseminating findings
from disability and rehabilitation
research and development that will
improve the full integration of
individuals with disabilities into
society.

Appendix—Analysis of Comments and
Changes
In response to our invitation in the NPP,
we received nine comments. An analysis of
the comments and of the changes in the
priorities since publication of the NPP
follows. We discuss substantive issues that
apply to both priorities under the heading
General and other substantive issues under
the title of the priority to which they pertain.
Generally, we do not address technical and
other minor changes and suggested changes
we are not authorized to make under the
applicable statutory authority.
General
Comment: Four commenters suggested that
combining the requirements for drafting
standards and conducting research syntheses
would be problematic because it could lead
E:\FR\FM\05MYN1.SGM
05MYN1
23848
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 86 / Thursday, May 5, 2005 / Notices
to the development of conflicting standards
and dissemination of conflicting information
through different forms of media.
Discussion: NIDRR agrees that coordinated
efforts among relevant agencies, groups, and
organizations are needed. NIDRR also
believes that it is appropriate to add the term
‘‘identify’’ to the priority requirements in
recognition of the many effective KDU
strategies in use for research and
development products.
Change: The third activity has been deleted
and the second, fourth, and fifth activities,
which are now the second, third, and fourth
activities, have been changed so they read:
‘‘Help NIDRR identify standards’’, ‘‘Help
NIDRR identify research syntheses’’ and,
‘‘Help NIDRR identify or develop effective
and cost-effective outreach strategies.’’ In
addition, a bullet has been added to the
additional requirements to ‘‘Coordinate with
other NIDRR funded KDU projects.’’ NIDRR
anticipates that a national KDU technical
assistance project (which it plans to fund
under a separate priority that is being
proposed in a notice of proposed priority
published elsewhere in this issue of the
Federal Register) will help projects with the
tasks outlined in these priorities and lessen
the possibility of conflicting evidence
grading methods or duplication of efforts.
Comment: One commenter believes that a
three-year project period for a funded KDU
project under one of these priorities would be
too short to accomplish the tasks outlined in
the proposed priorities.
Discussion: The length of the project
period is not part of the NPP and therefore
is not subject to public comment.
Change: None.
Comment: One commenter suggested that
the KDU projects funded under these
priorities should be required to coordinate
standards development and topic selection,
along with a steering committee not
associated with a particular discipline. The
commenter also suggested that an outside
committee be a part of the coordination of
standards development and topic selection
process to avoid the appearance of bias.
Discussion: As revised, these priorities
now require applicants to help NIDRR
identify standards and develop technical
assistance in the use of the standards. NIDRR
anticipates that the national KDU technical
assistance project, which NIDRR intends to
fund under a separate priority that is being
proposed in a notice of proposed priority
published elsewhere in this issue of the
Federal Register, will help projects with the
tasks outlined in these priorities and improve
coordination of NIDRR KDU activities.
Applicants can propose coordinated efforts.
The peer review process will evaluate the
merits of the activities proposed.
Change: None.
Comment: One commenter proposed that
there be only one center for standards
development, coordination, and technical
evidence synthesis products and that this one
center should involve a range of
stakeholders.
Discussion: NIDRR anticipates that the
national KDU technical assistance project,
which it intends to fund under a separate
priority that is being proposed in a notice of
VerDate jul<14>2003
13:10 May 04, 2005
Jkt 205001
proposed priority published elsewhere in
this issue of the Federal Register, will help
NIDRR and its grantees address issues
relating to the identification of standards,
and the development of evidence-based
synthesis products.
Change: None.
Comment: None.
Discussion: The term ‘‘evidence-based’’ is
a generally accepted technical term that is
widely used in the field of disability and
rehabilitation research in reference to the
assessment of the quality of research
findings. Information for readers who are
interested in this topic may be found on
numerous internet sites including: https://
www.excelgov.org/display
content.asp?keyword=prppc HomePage and
https://www.ncddr.org/du/ researchexchange/
v08n02/.
Change: In order to make the goals of these
priorities to provide end-users with highquality scientific research and development
more understandable, the term ‘‘evidencebased’’ has been substituted for the term
‘‘research-based’’ in #4 of the general
requirements.
Comment: Commenters expressed concern
that the priority areas emphasized by NIDRR
in the NPP are really means of dissemination
rather than areas of focus. In addition, one
commenter felt that it would better serve
NIDRR’s purpose to have each KDU project
include all methods of dissemination
established under the priorities.
Discussion: NIDRR’s KDU projects and
activities address a wide range of topics and
methods. The priorities in this notice as well
as ongoing and possible future activities
reflect this range. This notice includes both
general requirements common to all projects
applying for funding under one of the
priorities as well as specific methods and
target audiences required under each
individual priority. The peer review process
will evaluate the merits of the approaches
proposed.
Change: None.
Comment: One commenter felt that it is not
beneficial to ‘‘serve only one particular
constituency and one organization.’’ Due to
the multi-disciplinary nature of rehabilitation
research and the type of expertise resident in
NIDRR’s large centers, such as Rehabilitation
Research and Training Centers and
Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers,
this would be detrimental.
Discussion: Nothing in these priorities
requires a KDU project to serve a single
constituency and organization. Applicants
can propose working with certain disability
organizations or groups of organizations. The
peer review will evaluate the merits of the
approaches proposed in each application.
Change: None.
Comment: One commenter suggested that
the priority for the professional organization
and stakeholder group should take the lead
in coordinating activities among the
priorities.
Discussion: NIDRR believes that there is no
basis for giving one project funded under
these priorities a special role in coordination.
The national KDU project, which NIDRR
intends to fund under a separate priority that
is being proposed in a notice of proposed
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
priority published elsewhere in this issue of
the Federal Register, will provide needed
coordination among these and other NIDRR
grantees.
Change: None.
Dissemination Using the Mainstream Media
Comment: Three commenters expressed
support for this priority and strongly urged
NIDRR to fund a priority to increase the use
of the mainstream media for dissemination.
Discussion: NIDRR takes note of the
support for this priority, but has decided not
to finalize the Dissemination Using the
Mainstream Media priority in this notice.
Change: We are not including the
Dissemination Using the Mainstream Media
priority in this notice.
International Exchange of Information and
Experts in Rehabilitation and Independent
Living
Comment: One commenter stressed the
need for the proposed international exchange
activity to benefit the field of rehabilitation
in the United States.
Discussion: We agree with the commenter
that the proposed international exchange
activity must benefit the field of
rehabilitation in the United States. However,
no change is necessary because we believe
the wording of the priority already clearly
states this requirement.
Change: None.
Comment: One commenter suggested that
rather than name the types of organizations
that might be involved in international
exchanges, more general language should be
used.
Discussion: The language was not meant to
restrict the individuals, agencies, or
organizations with which the applicant might
propose to work.
Change: The second activity bullet under
this priority has been changed to include the
words ‘‘sources such as’’ before the
illustrative list of individuals and
organizations with which applicants may
work.
Comment: One commenter suggested that
the title of the proposed priority not use the
term ‘‘independent living’’ which may have
different meanings in other cultures. In
addition, the commenter suggested that the
use of this term may limit information from
other areas of the Plan, such as Health and
Function, Employment, Technology, etc.
Discussion: NIDRR believes independent
living is an important area for inclusion in
international literature. In including
independent living in the title of the priority,
NIDRR did not intend to limit the areas of
research or exchange that might be proposed.
The applicant can propose a project relating
to any of the areas in the Plan. To address
the concern expressed in comments that
specifying independent living in the priority
title may give disproportionate attention to
that topic, a more general title will be used.
The peer review process will evaluate the
merits of the approaches proposed in each
application.
Changes: The title of this priority has been
changed to read ‘‘International Exchange of
Information and Experts in Disability and
Rehabilitation Research.’’

Innovative KDU for Disability and
Professional Organizations and Stakeholders
Comment: One commenter expressed
strong support for the proposed priority on
‘‘Innovative KDU for Disability and
Professional Organizations and
Stakeholders.’’
Discussion: NIDRR takes note of this
support.
Change: None.
Comment: One commenter suggested that
evidence-based products developed by and
for a single professional or consumer
organization might be considered biased. It
was suggested that the language be changed
from ‘‘particular constituency’’ to ‘‘relevant
constituency’’ or ‘‘stakeholder
constituencies.’’
Discussion: NIDRR believes that the word
‘‘particular adequately describes the intent of
this priority. The peer review process will
evaluate the merits of the approaches
proposed.
Change: None.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program
The purpose of the DRRP program is to plan and conduct research,
[[Page 23846]]
demonstration projects, training, and related activities that help to
maximize the full inclusion and integration of individuals with
disabilities into society and to improve the effectiveness of services
authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (Act).
Under the DRRP program, we define a development activity as using
knowledge and understanding gained from research to create materials,
devices, systems, or methods beneficial to the target population,
including design and development of prototypes and processes (34 CFR
350.16). We define a dissemination activity as the systematic
distribution of information or knowledge through a variety of ways to
potential users or beneficiaries (34 CFR 350.18). We define a technical
assistance activity as the provision of expertise or information for
use in problem-solving (34 CFR 350.19).
Background
KDU projects ensure widespread distribution, in usable formats, of
practical scientific and technological information generated by
research, development, and demonstration projects. The effective
dissemination and utilization of disability and rehabilitation research
results are critical to achieving NIDRR's mission. Research findings
can improve the quality of life of people with disabilities and further
their full inclusion into society. These benefits are feasible only if
the findings and technologies are available to, known by, and
accessible to potential users.
NIDRR is particularly interested in ensuring that information to be
disseminated is of high quality and is based on scientifically rigorous
research and development and that potential users have the information
they need to judge the quality of research and development findings and
products and the relevance of these findings and products to their
particular needs. End-users with limited scientific training, in
particular, may need assistance in order to understand competing
research claims or determine the relevance of particular findings to
their individual situations. In addition, given the nature of
scientific study, practical information often is based on cumulative
knowledge, not upon the results of any one study. Therefore, we
encourage potential applicants to examine procedures used by such
organizations as the Campbell Collaboration (https://
www.campbellcollaboration.org/), the Cochrane Collaboration (https://
www.cochrane.org/), and the Department of Education What Works
Clearinghouse (https://www.w-w-c.org/) when designing synthesis and
dissemination activities. NIDRR is committed to establishing high-
quality procedures for the dissemination of information from
rehabilitation and disability research and development projects and
will be working, together with its grantees, to identify standards to
guide its work in this area.
Analysis of Comments and Changes
We published a notice of proposed priorities (NPP) for this program
in the Federal Register on August 27, 2004 (69 FR 52651). This notice
of final priorities (NFP) contains a number of substantive differences
from the NPP. We discuss these changes in the Analysis of Comments and
Changes section published as an appendix to this notice. After further
review of the structure of the priority language in the NPP, we believe
that it would be clearer to characterize the requirements under the
topic areas as separate priorities rather than topic areas. This change
in the structure of the priority language does not substantively change
the requirements proposed in the NPP.
Note: This notice does not solicit applications. In any year in
which we choose to use either of these final priorities, we invite
applications through a notice in the Federal Register. When inviting
applications we designate each priority as absolute, competitive
preference, or invitational. The effect of each type of priority
follows:
Absolute priority: Under an absolute priority, we consider only
applications that meet the priority (34 CFR 75.105(c)(3)).
Competitive preference priority: Under a competitive preference
priority, we give competitive preference to an application by either
(1) awarding additional points, depending on how well or the extent
to which the application meets the competitive priority (34 CFR
75.105(c)(2)(i)); or (2) selecting an application that meets the
competitive priority over an application of comparable merit that
does not meet the priority (34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(ii)).
Invitational priority: Under an invitational priority, we are
particularly interested in applications that meet the invitational
priority. However, we do not give an application that meets the
invitational priority a competitive or absolute preference over
other applications (34 CFR 75.105(c)(1)).
Note: NIDRR supports the goals of President Bush's New Freedom
Initiative (NFI). The NFI can be accessed on the Internet at the
following site: https://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/newfreedom/.
These final priorities are in concert with NIDRR's 1999-2003 Long-
Range Plan (Plan). The Plan is comprehensive and integrates many issues
relating to disability and rehabilitation research topics. While
applicants will find many sections throughout the Plan that support the
activities to be conducted under these final priorities, specific
references to the topics of the priorities are included elsewhere in
this notice. The Plan can be accessed on the Internet at the following
site: https://www.ed.gov/rschstat/research/pubs/.
Through the implementation of the Plan, NIDRR seeks to: (1) Improve
the quality and utility of disability and rehabilitation research; (2)
foster an exchange of expertise, information, and training to
facilitate the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the unique
needs of traditionally underserved populations; (3) determine best
strategies and programs to improve rehabilitation outcomes for
underserved populations; (4) identify research gaps; (5) identify
mechanisms of integrating research and practice; and (6) disseminate
findings.
Priorities
The Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitative
Services will use two priorities, Priority #1--International Exchange
of Information and Experts in Disability and Rehabilitation Research
and Priority #2--Innovative KDU for Disability and Professional
Organizations and Stakeholders, to fund up to two DRRPs to identify or
develop dissemination methods and provide technical assistance that
focus on innovative knowledge sharing solutions to improve the lives of
persons with disabilities. The goal of the KDU projects is to provide
end-users with the information they need to make choices based on high-
quality scientific research and development. Under each of these
priorities, the KDU project, in consultation with the NIDRR project
officer, must:
(1) Identify topic areas and target audiences, which must include
people with disabilities and their families;
(2) Help NIDRR identify standards to guide the systematic review
and synthesis of disability and rehabilitation research and development
studies;
(3) Help NIDRR identify research syntheses in selected topic areas
and make this information available, in preferred formats, to the
target audiences; and
(4) Help NIDRR identify or develop effective and cost-effective
outreach strategies to provide target audiences with evidence-based
information, and determine whether and how the information is used.
In carrying out these requirements within either priority, each KDU
project also must:
[[Page 23847]]
Involve, as appropriate, individuals with disabilities or
their family members, or both, in all aspects of the design and
development of dissemination activities;
Demonstrate how the project will yield measurable results
for people with disabilities;
Identify specific performance targets and propose outcome
indicators, along with timelines to reach these targets; and
Coordinate with other NIDRR-funded KDU projects as
identified through consultation with the NIDRR project officer.
A project must focus on one of the following priority areas:
Priority 1--International Exchange of Information and Experts in
Disability and Rehabilitation Research: The purpose of a project under
this priority is to improve the exchange of disability and
rehabilitation research and development information between the United
States and other countries in order to develop new knowledge and
methods in the rehabilitation of individuals with disabilities in the
United States, share information found useful in other nations, and
increase the skill levels of rehabilitation personnel. Under this
priority, the KDU project must:
Develop innovative methods for compiling and exchanging
information between the United States and other nations on
rehabilitation research and development, as well as information on
disability policies that maximize the full inclusion, social
integration, employment, and independent living of individuals of all
ages with disabilities.
Provide targeted outreach to and obtain insight from
sources such as researchers; consumers; and voluntary, non-profit, and
philanthropic organizations that are operating programs related to
disability and rehabilitation research in other nations.
Conduct at least one rehabilitation research information
conference per funding cycle involving participants from the United
States and other countries to provide state-of-the-art information on
international rehabilitation research efforts and policies that affect
people with disabilities.
Conduct an international exchange of researchers and
technical assistance experts between other countries and the United
States to provide firsthand experiences in cross-cultural communication
and to form alliances for collaborative research or information
sharing.
The reference to the topic of this priority may be found in the
Plan, Chapter 10, Enhancing NIDRR's Management of Research.
Priority 2--Innovative KDU for Disability and Professional
Organizations and Stakeholders: The purpose of a project under this
priority is to disseminate information on disability and rehabilitation
research and development findings to a particular constituency by using
organizations that serve that constituency as intermediaries. Such
organizations, because they have established strategies for providing
information to their constituencies--e.g., conferences, newsletters,
and workshops--may represent an effective means of dissemination. Under
this priority, the KDU project must:
Produce information digests that will be suitable for
further dissemination through the partner organizations.
Be knowledgeable about the target audiences represented by
the organizations.
Develop innovative means of communication with the
community served by the organizations.
Serve as an information conduit for interactive
discussions with the organizations that will help inform future NIDRR
research priorities and disseminate the findings of NIDRR-sponsored
research.
The reference to the topic of this priority may be found in the
Plan, Chapter 8, Knowledge Dissemination and Utilization, and Chapter
10, Enhancing NIDRR's Management of Research.
Executive Order 12866
This NFP has been reviewed in accordance with Executive Order
12866. Under the terms of the order, we have assessed the potential
costs and benefits of this regulatory action.
The potential costs associated with the NFP are those resulting
from statutory requirements and those we have determined as necessary
for administering this program effectively and efficiently.
In assessing the potential costs and benefits--both quantitative
and qualitative--of this NFP, we have determined that the benefits of
the final priorities justify the costs.
Summary of potential costs and benefits: The potential costs
associated with these final priorities are minimal, while the benefits
are significant. Grantees may incur some costs associated with
completing the application process in terms of staff time, copying, and
mailing or delivery. The use of e-Application technology reduces
mailing and copying costs significantly.
The benefits of the DRRP Program have been well established over
the years. Similar projects have been completed successfully and have
produced findings that help improve the lives of individuals with
disabilities. These final priorities will generate new strategies for
disseminating findings from disability and rehabilitation research and
development that will improve the full integration of individuals with
disabilities into society.
Applicable Program Regulations: 34 CFR part 350.

Appendix--Analysis of Comments and Changes
In response to our invitation in the NPP, we received nine
comments. An analysis of the comments and of the changes in the
priorities since publication of the NPP follows. We discuss
substantive issues that apply to both priorities under the heading
General and other substantive issues under the title of the priority
to which they pertain.
Generally, we do not address technical and other minor changes
and suggested changes we are not authorized to make under the
applicable statutory authority.
General
Comment: Four commenters suggested that combining the
requirements for drafting standards and conducting research
syntheses would be problematic because it could lead
[[Page 23848]]
to the development of conflicting standards and dissemination of
conflicting information through different forms of media.
Discussion: NIDRR agrees that coordinated efforts among relevant
agencies, groups, and organizations are needed. NIDRR also believes
that it is appropriate to add the term ``identify'' to the priority
requirements in recognition of the many effective KDU strategies in
use for research and development products.
Change: The third activity has been deleted and the second,
fourth, and fifth activities, which are now the second, third, and
fourth activities, have been changed so they read: ``Help NIDRR
identify standards'', ``Help NIDRR identify research syntheses''
and, ``Help NIDRR identify or develop effective and cost-effective
outreach strategies.'' In addition, a bullet has been added to the
additional requirements to ``Coordinate with other NIDRR funded KDU
projects.'' NIDRR anticipates that a national KDU technical
assistance project (which it plans to fund under a separate priority
that is being proposed in a notice of proposed priority published
elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register) will help projects
with the tasks outlined in these priorities and lessen the
possibility of conflicting evidence grading methods or duplication
of efforts.
Comment: One commenter believes that a three-year project period
for a funded KDU project under one of these priorities would be too
short to accomplish the tasks outlined in the proposed priorities.
Discussion: The length of the project period is not part of the
NPP and therefore is not subject to public comment.
Change: None.
Comment: One commenter suggested that the KDU projects funded
under these priorities should be required to coordinate standards
development and topic selection, along with a steering committee not
associated with a particular discipline. The commenter also
suggested that an outside committee be a part of the coordination of
standards development and topic selection process to avoid the
appearance of bias.
Discussion: As revised, these priorities now require applicants
to help NIDRR identify standards and develop technical assistance in
the use of the standards. NIDRR anticipates that the national KDU
technical assistance project, which NIDRR intends to fund under a
separate priority that is being proposed in a notice of proposed
priority published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register,
will help projects with the tasks outlined in these priorities and
improve coordination of NIDRR KDU activities. Applicants can propose
coordinated efforts. The peer review process will evaluate the
merits of the activities proposed.
Change: None.
Comment: One commenter proposed that there be only one center
for standards development, coordination, and technical evidence
synthesis products and that this one center should involve a range
of stakeholders.
Discussion: NIDRR anticipates that the national KDU technical
assistance project, which it intends to fund under a separate
priority that is being proposed in a notice of proposed priority
published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, will help
NIDRR and its grantees address issues relating to the identification
of standards, and the development of evidence-based synthesis
products.
Change: None.
Comment: None.
Discussion: The term ``evidence-based'' is a generally accepted
technical term that is widely used in the field of disability and
rehabilitation research in reference to the assessment of the
quality of research findings. Information for readers who are
interested in this topic may be found on numerous internet sites
including: https://www.excelgov.org/display content.asp?keyword=prppc
HomePage and https://www.ncddr.org/du/researchexchange/ v08n02/.
Change: In order to make the goals of these priorities to
provide end-users with high-quality scientific research and
development more understandable, the term ``evidence-based'' has
been substituted for the term ``research-based'' in 4 of
the general requirements.
Comment: Commenters expressed concern that the priority areas
emphasized by NIDRR in the NPP are really means of dissemination
rather than areas of focus. In addition, one commenter felt that it
would better serve NIDRR's purpose to have each KDU project include
all methods of dissemination established under the priorities.
Discussion: NIDRR's KDU projects and activities address a wide
range of topics and methods. The priorities in this notice as well
as ongoing and possible future activities reflect this range. This
notice includes both general requirements common to all projects
applying for funding under one of the priorities as well as specific
methods and target audiences required under each individual
priority. The peer review process will evaluate the merits of the
approaches proposed.
Change: None.
Comment: One commenter felt that it is not beneficial to ``serve
only one particular constituency and one organization.'' Due to the
multi-disciplinary nature of rehabilitation research and the type of
expertise resident in NIDRR's large centers, such as Rehabilitation
Research and Training Centers and Rehabilitation Engineering
Research Centers, this would be detrimental.
Discussion: Nothing in these priorities requires a KDU project
to serve a single constituency and organization. Applicants can
propose working with certain disability organizations or groups of
organizations. The peer review will evaluate the merits of the
approaches proposed in each application.
Change: None.
Comment: One commenter suggested that the priority for the
professional organization and stakeholder group should take the lead
in coordinating activities among the priorities.
Discussion: NIDRR believes that there is no basis for giving one
project funded under these priorities a special role in
coordination. The national KDU project, which NIDRR intends to fund
under a separate priority that is being proposed in a notice of
proposed priority published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal
Register, will provide needed coordination among these and other
NIDRR grantees.
Change: None.
Dissemination Using the Mainstream Media
Comment: Three commenters expressed support for this priority
and strongly urged NIDRR to fund a priority to increase the use of
the mainstream media for dissemination.
Discussion: NIDRR takes note of the support for this priority,
but has decided not to finalize the Dissemination Using the
Mainstream Media priority in this notice.
Change: We are not including the Dissemination Using the
Mainstream Media priority in this notice.
International Exchange of Information and Experts in Rehabilitation and
Independent Living
Comment: One commenter stressed the need for the proposed
international exchange activity to benefit the field of
rehabilitation in the United States.
Discussion: We agree with the commenter that the proposed
international exchange activity must benefit the field of
rehabilitation in the United States. However, no change is necessary
because we believe the wording of the priority already clearly
states this requirement.
Change: None.
Comment: One commenter suggested that rather than name the types
of organizations that might be involved in international exchanges,
more general language should be used.
Discussion: The language was not meant to restrict the
individuals, agencies, or organizations with which the applicant
might propose to work.
Change: The second activity bullet under this priority has been
changed to include the words ``sources such as'' before the
illustrative list of individuals and organizations with which
applicants may work.
Comment: One commenter suggested that the title of the proposed
priority not use the term ``independent living'' which may have
different meanings in other cultures. In addition, the commenter
suggested that the use of this term may limit information from other
areas of the Plan, such as Health and Function, Employment,
Technology, etc.
Discussion: NIDRR believes independent living is an important
area for inclusion in international literature. In including
independent living in the title of the priority, NIDRR did not
intend to limit the areas of research or exchange that might be
proposed. The applicant can propose a project relating to any of the
areas in the Plan. To address the concern expressed in comments that
specifying independent living in the priority title may give
disproportionate attention to that topic, a more general title will
be used. The peer review process will evaluate the merits of the
approaches proposed in each application.
Changes: The title of this priority has been changed to read
``International Exchange of Information and Experts in Disability
and Rehabilitation Research.''
[[Page 23849]]
Innovative KDU for Disability and Professional Organizations and
Stakeholders
Comment: One commenter expressed strong support for the proposed
priority on ``Innovative KDU for Disability and Professional
Organizations and Stakeholders.''
Discussion: NIDRR takes note of this support.
Change: None.
Comment: One commenter suggested that evidence-based products
developed by and for a single professional or consumer organization
might be considered biased. It was suggested that the language be
changed from ``particular constituency'' to ``relevant
constituency'' or ``stakeholder constituencies.''
Discussion: NIDRR believes that the word ``particular adequately
describes the intent of this priority. The peer review process will
evaluate the merits of the approaches proposed.
Change: None.
