The Field Initiated Projects program aims to advance knowledge and develop innovative methods, products, procedures, or technologies that enhance the inclusion, integration, and independence of people with disabilities, particularly those with the most significant support needs. The program focuses on research projects driven by clearly identified hypotheses or research questions, with the goal of producing new scientific knowledge or a deeper understanding of the issues faced by this population. This funding opportunity specifically supports research proposals, while development proposals will be addressed under a separate announcement. Administered by the Administration for Community Living within the Department of Health and Human Services, the program plans to award 13 grants, which will consist of both research and development projects selected based on peer review rankings. Each grant offers a 36-month project period divided into three 12-month budget periods. The program encourages intensive, systematic studies that contribute to the field’s understanding and capacity to support employment, independent living, family and caregiver support, and economic self-sufficiency for people with disabilities. Interested applicants can contact the program officer, Radha Holavanahalli, for more information.
