pursue a discrimination complaint by
filing a grievance through your agency’s
administrative or negotiated grievance
procedures, if such procedures apply
and are available.
Contact the Defense Information Systems
Agency (DISA), Equal Employment
Opportunity and Cultural Diversity Office
(EEOCD) to make contact with an EEO
Counselor; or the Manpower, Personnel and
Security Directorate (MPS1) for additional
information concerning administrative or
negotiated grievances. (See contact
information below).
Whistleblower Protection Laws
A Federal employee with authority to
take, direct others to take, recommend
or approve any personnel action must
not use that authority to take or fail to
take, or threaten to take or fail to take,
a personnel action against an employee
or applicant because of disclosure of
information by that individual that is
reasonably believed to evidence
violations of law, rule or regulation;
gross mismanagement; gross waste of
funds; an abuse of authority; or a
substantial and specific danger to public
health or safety, unless disclosure of
such information is specifically
prohibited by law and such information
is specifically required by Executive
order to be kept secret in the interest of
national defense or the conduct of
foreign affairs.
Retaliation against an employee or
applicant for making a protected
disclosure is prohibited by 5 U.S.C.
2302(b)(8). If you believe that you have
been the victim of whistleblower
retaliation, you may file a written
complaint (Form OSC–11) with the U.S.
Office of Special Counsel at 1730 M
Street NW., Suite 218, Washington, DC
20036–4505 or online through the OSC
Web site—https://www.osc.gov.
Contact the DISA, Office of Inspector
General (IG) for additional information
concerning or to report fraud, waste and
abuse. (See contact information below).
Retaliation for Engaging in Protected
Activity
A Federal agency cannot retaliate
against an employee or applicant
because that individual exercises his or
her rights under any of the Federal
antidiscrimination or whistleblower
protection laws listed above. If you
believe that you are the victim of
retaliation for engaging in protected
activity, you must follow, as
appropriate, the procedures described in
the Antidiscrimination Laws and
Whistleblower Protection Laws sections
or, if applicable, the administrative or
negotiated grievance procedures in
order to pursue any legal remedy.
For additional information, contact the
OSC (see contact information above); or the
appropriate DISA office (see contact
information below).
Disciplinary Actions
Under the existing laws, each agency
retains the right, where appropriate, to
discipline a Federal employee for
conduct that is inconsistent with
Federal Antidiscrimination and
Whistleblower Protection Laws up to
and including removal. If OSC has
initiated an investigation under 5 U.S.C.
1214, however, according to 5 U.S.C.
1214(f), agencies must seek approval
from the Special Counsel to discipline
employees for, among other activities,
engaging in prohibited retaliation.
Nothing in the No FEAR Act alters
existing laws or permits an agency to
take unfounded disciplinary action
against a Federal employee or to violate
the procedural rights of a Federal
employee who has been accused of
discrimination.
Contact MPS1 for additional information
concerning disciplinary actions. (See contact
information below).
Additional Information
For further information regarding the
No FEAR Act regulations, refer to 5 CFR
part 724, as well as the appropriate
offices within your agency (e.g., EEO/
civil rights office, human resources
office or legal office). Additional
information regarding Federal
antidiscrimination, whistleblower
protection and retaliation laws can be
found at the EEOC Web site—https://
www.eeoc.gov and the OSC Web site—

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance
(CFDA) Number: 84.133S–1.
Dates: Applications Available:
November 17, 2006. Deadline for
Transmittal of Applications: January 31,
2007.
Eligible Applicants: Entities that are,
at the time of award, small business
concerns as defined by the Small
Business Administration (SBA). This
definition is included in the application
package.
All technology, science, or
engineering firms with strong research
capabilities in any of the priority areas
listed in this notice are encouraged to
participate.
Consultative or other arrangements
between these firms and universities or
other non-profit organizations are
permitted, but the small business
concern must serve as the grantee. For
Phase I projects, at least two-thirds of
the research and/or analytic activities
must be performed by the proposing
firm. Furthermore, the total of all
consultant fees, facility leases or usage
fees, and other subcontracts or purchase
agreements may not exceed one-third of

If it appears that an applicant
organization does not meet the

eligibility requirements, we will request
an evaluation by the SBA. Under
circumstances in which eligibility is
unclear, we will not make an SBIR
award until the SBA makes a
determination.
Estimated Available Funds: The
Administration has requested
$5,000,000 for the SBIR program for FY
2007, of which we intend to use an
estimated $1,125,000 for new Phase I
awards. The actual level of funding, if
any, depends on final congressional
action. However, we are inviting
applications to allow enough time to
complete the grant process if Congress
appropriates funds for this program.
Note: The estimated amount of funds
available for new Phase I awards is based
upon the estimated threshold SBIR allocation
for the Office of Special Education and
Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), minus prior
commitments for Phase II continuation
awards.
Estimated Range of Awards: $70,000–
75,000.
Estimated Average Size of Awards:
$72,000.
Maximum Award: We will reject any
application that proposes a budget
exceeding $75,000 for a single budget
period of six months. The Assistant
Secretary for Special Education and
Rehabilitative Services may change the
maximum amount through a notice
published in the Federal Register.
Note: The maximum award amount
includes direct and indirect costs and fees.
Estimated Number of Awards: 15.
Note: The Department is not bound by any
estimates in this notice.
Project Period: Up to six months for
Phase I awards.

the return on investment from federally

understanding of the unique needs of

(3) Determine best strategies and
programs to improve rehabilitation

mechanisms of integrating research and
practice; and (6) Disseminate findings.
