tested with NIDRR funding that have
been judged by expert panels to be of
high quality and to advance the field.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice of final priority is in concert with
NIDRR’s Final Long-Range Plan for FY
2005–2009 (Plan). The Plan, which was
published in the Federal Register on
February 15, 2006 (71 FR 8165), can be
accessed on the Internet at the following
site: https://www.ed.gov/about/offices/
list/osers/nidrr/policy.html.
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.
Purpose of Program:
The purpose of the DRRP program is
to improve the effectiveness of services
authorized under the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, as amended, by developing
methods, procedures, and rehabilitation
technologies that advance a wide range
of independent living and employment
outcomes for individuals with
disabilities, especially individuals with
the most severe disabilities. DRRPs
carry out one or more of the following
types of activities, as specified and
defined in 34 CFR 350.13 through
350.19: Research, training,
demonstration, development,
dissemination, utilization, and technical
assistance. An applicant for assistance
under this program must demonstrate in
its application how it will address, in
whole or in part, the needs of
individuals with disabilities from
minority backgrounds (34 CFR
350.40(a)). The approaches an applicant
may take to meet this requirement are
found in 34 CFR 350.40(b). In addition,
NIDRR intends to require all DRRP
applicants to meet the requirements of
the General Disability and
Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP)
Requirements priority that it published
in a notice of final priorities in the
Federal Register on April 28, 2006 (71
FR 25472).
Additional information on the DRRP
program can be found at: https://

We published a notice of proposed
priority (NPP) for NIDRR’s Disability
and Rehabilitation Research Projects
and Centers Program in the Federal
Register on December 29, 2009 (74 FR
68808). The NPP included a background
statement that described our rationale
for the priority proposed in that notice.
There is one significant difference
between the NPP and this notice of final
priority (NFP) as discussed in the
following section.
Public Comment:
In response to our invitation in the
NPP, five parties submitted comments
on the proposed priority. An analysis of
the comments and of any changes in the
priority since publication of the NPP
follows.
Generally, we do not address
technical and other minor changes or
suggested changes the law does not
authorize us to make under the
applicable statutory authority. In
addition, we do not address general
comments that raised concerns not
directly related to the proposed priority.
Analysis of Comments and Changes:
Comment: One commenter suggested
that the priority address the effect of
State budget crises on transition
programs.
Discussion: Although the priority
does not explicitly include a
requirement for research on State
finances, nothing in the priority
precludes an applicant from proposing
to examine the effect of this factor on
transition programs and employment
outcomes for youth with disabilities.
However, NIDRR has no basis for
requiring all applicants to focus on State
finances. The peer review process will
determine the merits of each proposal.
Changes: None.
Comment: One commenter asked how
NIDRR envisions the relationship
between this priority and other NIDRRfunded projects that address specific
populations of youth with disabilities,
and whether the priority requests a
focus on different subpopulations or is
inclusive of all youth with disabilities.
Discussion: This priority focuses
specifically on transition to
employment, rather than on other
aspects of transition, such as selfdetermination or community
participation. Accordingly, the target
population for this priority is transitionage youth with disabilities who are at
risk for poor employment outcomes,
rather than all youth with disabilities.
We note that under paragraph (b) of the
priority, applicants must identify the
specific at-risk group or groups of
transition-age youth with disabilities

VI. Award Administration Information
1. Award Notices: If your application is successful, we notify your

Notification (GAN). We may notify you informally, also.
If your application is not evaluated or not selected for funding,
we notify you.
2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements: We identify
administrative and national policy requirements in the application
package and reference these and other requirements in the Applicable
Regulations section of this notice.
We reference the regulations outlining the terms and conditions of
an award in the Applicable Regulations section of this notice and
include these and other specific conditions in the GAN. The GAN also
incorporates your approved application as part of your binding
commitments under the grant.
3. Reporting: At the end of your project period, you must submit a
final performance report, including financial information, as directed
by the Secretary. If you receive a multi-year award, you must submit an
annual performance report that provides the most current performance
and financial expenditure information as directed by the Secretary
under 34 CFR 75.118. The Secretary may also require more frequent
performance reports under 34 CFR 75.720(c). For specific requirements
on reporting, please go to: https://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/appforms/appforms.html.
In the annual and final reports, applicants must provide
documentation of their efforts to collect, research, display, and
interpret artifacts, digital resources, and other materials that
collect, preserve, and disseminate information on the Underground
Railroad's history, including the lessons to be drawn from such
history. If they have created or designated satellite centers, they
must provide documentation of their creation or designation of
satellite centers, an account of the satellite centers' activities, and
documentation of the satellite centers' 4:1 cost share. Grantees must
also provide evidence of their creation of electronic links to other
organizations and facilities that have collections and programs that
interpret the history of the Underground Railroad and lessons drawn
from such history. Grantees must document their efforts to make their
resources and efforts available through electronic means to elementary
and secondary schools, to institutions of higher education, and to the
general public. Finally, each annual report must contain the audited
financial statement of the organization for the preceding fiscal year.
4. Performance Measures: Under the Government Performance and
Results Act (GPRA), the following measure will be used by the
Department in assessing the performance of the Underground Railroad
Educational and Cultural Program: The extent to which funded projects
have been institutionalized and are able to continue after URR funding
ends.
If funded, you will be asked to collect and report data on this
measure in your project's annual performance report (EDGAR, 34 CFR
75.590).
