The Administration for Community Living is inviting applications for the Field Initiated Projects Program targeting Minority-Serving Institutions (MSI) for fiscal year 2025. This program supports research and development projects focused on enhancing the inclusion and self-sufficiency of individuals with disabilities, particularly from minority communities. Funding of approximately $500,000 is available with a maximum award of $250,000 over a 36-month period. Eligible applicants include minority entities defined as historically black colleges, Hispanic-serving institutions, and tribal colleges, among others. The application process requires a detailed project narrative, data management plan, and budget justification. Key criteria for evaluation include the identification of the target population's needs, the potential impact of proposed activities, and the feasibility of the project's design and methodology. Applications must demonstrate inclusion of diverse racial and ethnic groups and comply with accessibility standards. An informational conference call for potential applicants is scheduled prior to the application deadline of March 17, 2025, with a due date for letters of intent on January 16, 2025. This funding opportunity aims to bolster the capacities of underrepresented minority institutions in conducting quality disability and rehabilitation research, fostering innovation that benefits the broader community.
