Deadline  March 28, 2022 

The purpose of the RERC program is to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, by conducting advanced engineering research on and development of innovative technologies that are designed to solve particular rehabilitation problems or to remove environmental barriers for people with disabilities. RERCs also demonstrate and evaluate such technologies, facilitate service delivery system changes, stimulate the production and distribution of new technologies and equipment in the private sector, and provide training opportunities.  In this field-initiated area of "Strategies, Techniques, and Interventions," NIDILRR seeks to fund research and development that leads to rehabilitation technologies, practices, and services that improve the health, and the physical, cognitive, sensory, and communication abilities of people with a wide range of disabling conditions.  Rehabilitation engineering in this area should result in new or improved products, devices, and technological advances that enhance rehabilitation services in clinical or community settings.
