Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 ACL NIDILRR SFGE 0071
The Switzer Research Fellowships Program is a federal discretionary grant opportunity run by the Administration for Community Living (ACL), through the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). Its central goal is to strengthen research capacity in the disability and rehabilitation field by funding highly qualified individual researchers, including researchers with disabilities, to carry out original research focused on rehabilitation, independent living, and the real-world experiences and outcomes of people with disabilities. The research topic must fall within areas authorized under Section 204 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, which broadly supports research that improves knowledge, services, and outcomes related to disability, rehabilitation, and community living.
This opportunity is structured as a fellowship-style grant made directly to a person rather than to a university, nonprofit, or any other organization. Only individuals are eligible to apply, and institutions and organizations are explicitly not eligible applicants. Because of that structure, the applicant (the individual) must personally sign the required application forms, and institutional representatives do not sign on the applicant's behalf. Another practical implication is that institutional indirect costs (often called overhead or F&A) cannot be taken out of the fellowship award, since the award is not made to an institution. Applicants should also plan for the tax impact, because fellowship funds are treated as taxable income.
NIDILRR expects to make up to six awards under this program. Each fellowship covers a single 12-month project period, meaning the proposed research plan is designed to be carried out over one year. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $90,000, which is intended to support the fellow's research activities during that one-year period. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed under science and technology and other research and development (CFDA/Assistance Listing 93.433).
Citizenship and eligibility requirements are also important for prospective applicants. U.S. citizenship is not stated as an absolute requirement, but applicants who are not U.S. citizens must provide documentation showing they are eligible to receive research funding directly from a U.S. government agency. In other words, a non-U.S. citizen can apply only if they can document that they are legally able to be paid directly by the U.S. government for this type of award.
Key administrative details from the published listing include the opportunity number HHS-2024-ACL-NIDILRR-SFGE-0071, an original application deadline of January 30, 2024, and a posting/creation date of December 1, 2023. Overall, the program is designed to invest in individual talent and research leadership in disability and rehabilitation, with a clear emphasis on producing original, policy- and practice-relevant knowledge that can improve independent living and outcomes for people with disabilities.Apply for HHS 2024 ACL NIDILRR SFGE 0071
