    The Department of Health and Human Services invites applications for the Medical Rehabilitation Research Resource Centers (MRRC) program, aimed at fostering medical rehabilitation research infrastructure. Institutions are encouraged to apply to establish centers centered on specific rehabilitation themes, composed of a research project and three supporting cores: administrative, resource, and community engagement. The goal is to advance understanding and strategies for functional recovery, addressing gaps in clinical care for individuals with disabilities. Key priorities for research include precision rehabilitation, digital health biomarkers, and social determinants of health. Applications must include a plan detailing the inclusion of people with lived experience (PWLE) relevant to the research theme. Up to $6.1 million is available for approximately 4-5 awards, with a maximum budget of $750,000 per year for direct costs, excluding an additional $150,000 for a pilot program. The administrative core will oversee operations and manage communication among centers, while promoting early-stage research through an optional pilot program. The NOFO also emphasizes data sharing compliance and requires a strong rationale for any proposed clinical trials. With a deadline for letters of intent on June 30, 2024, and applications due by 5:00 PM local time, the initiative reflects a commitment to enhancing health outcomes for individuals with disabilities through collaborative and impactful research endeavors.
