Disability Research Institute Request for Applications (RFA) (Program Announcement No. SSA-ORES-00-1)

The Social Security Administration's disability programs play a vital role in society, paying benefits to over 8 million disabled individuals. It is essential that the nation invest in research designed to examine the disability programs and ensure that these programs are designed effectively to improve the lives of disabled Americans. The Social Security Administration plans to establish a Disability Research Institute (DRI). This institute would help fill the need for more extensive research in the disability area for policymakers around the country. The DRI is an important initiative on the part of SSA's Office of Policy to strengthen the Agency's research capacity since it became independent in 1995. Authorized under section 1110 of the Social Security Act, SSA announces the solicitation of applications for a cooperative agreement to create a DRI in order to inform the public and policymakers about disability policy alternatives and their consequences. Initially, we anticipate the Institute will be one, university-based, multi- disciplinary center. The Institute will have an annual budget consisting of $1.25 million for the first year and $1 million per year for subsequent year
