Grant Description
Grant to a USA public, private, nonprofit, or for-profit agency or organization, IHE, or Tribal organization to improve outcomes for individuals who have sustained burn injuries. Applicants are advised to initiate required registrations a minimum of two weeks prior to the deadline. Funding is intended for a Burn Injury Model Systems National Data and Statistical Center that advances medical rehabilitation by increasing the rigor and efficiency of scientific efforts to longitudinally assess the experience of people with burns.

The purpose of NIDILRR's Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) is to plan and conduct research and dissemination and utilization activities to develop knowledge, methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technology that maximize the full inclusion and integration into society, employment, independent living, family/caregiver support, and economic and social self-sufficiency of individuals with disabilities, especially individuals with the greatest support needs, and to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (Rehabilitation Act). The purpose of this particular DRRP is to maintain the Burn Model Systems National Database and to provide training, technical assistance and support for the Burn Model Systems Centers as they contribute data to this database. 

The Administrator of the Administration for Community Living establishes a DRRP priority for the funding of a Burn Injury Model Systems National Data and Statistical Center that advances medical rehabilitation by increasing the rigor and efficiency of scientific efforts to longitudinally assess the experience of people with burns. This Data Center must maintain the national longitudinal database for data submitted by each of the Burn Model Systems Centers. The Data Center must also ensure collection of high-quality data and support rigorous research by the Burn Model Systems centers by monitoring data quality, providing training in collecting data for the Burn Model Systems database and providing methodological consultation to these centers.

Applicants must ensure that all materials, websites and information technology tools and products that they plan to develop or maintain are accessible, and that electronic materials are produced in full compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794d). For websites this compliance currently requires meeting Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0/2.1 AA success criteria. Applications must demonstrate an ability to meet these requirements.
