Description
The
purpose of the Field Initiated (FI) Projects program is to generate new
knowledge through research or to develop methods, procedures, and rehabilitation
technology that maximize the full inclusion and integration into society,
employment, independent living, family support, and economic and social
self-sufficiency of individuals with disabilities, especially individuals with
the most severe disabilities. Another purpose of the FI Projects program is to
improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, as amended. In carrying out a development activity under an FI
Projects development grant, a grantee must use knowledge and understanding
gained from research to create materials, devices, systems, methods, measures,
techniques, tools, prototypes, processes, or intervention protocols, that are
beneficial to the target population. In carrying out a research activity under
an FI Projects research grant, a grantee must identify one or more hypotheses or
research questions and, based on the hypotheses or research questions
identified, perform an intensive, systematic study directed toward producing
(1) new scientific knowledge, or (2) better understanding of the subject,
problem studied, or body of knowledge.
