FINAL REPORT




ALL PROGRAMS EXCEPT RFP
























Public Reporting Burden



According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0985-0050, with an expiration date of xx/xx/2019. The web-based system is designed so that, whenever possible, information entered by grantees will be carried forward from one year to the next, with only verification and any necessary updating of that information required. The time required to complete this form is estimated to average 52 hours per response in a grantees first year of award, including the time to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and review the information collection. In subsequent years, grantees will be asked to update that information, which we anticipate will require approximately 22 hours for NIDILRR’s major programs (i.e., RRTC, RERC, MS, DRRP) and 10 hours for the other program mechanisms. If you have any comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this form, please write to: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Washington,

    1. 20201-0004. If you have comments or concerns regarding the status of your individual submission of this form, write directly to: Office of the Chief Financial Officer, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 200 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20201-0004.

Type 2 Outputs - Most Important Tools

Reporting Period: 10/01/2012 to 09/30/2017


Type 2 outputs focus on the most important tools, measures, or intervention protocols directly funded by this award since you submitted your last APR. NIDILRR defines "tool" (which includes measures and intervention protocols) to include instruments or processes created to acquire quantitative or qualitative information, knowledge, or data on a specific disability or rehabilitation issue.


"Most important" tools refers to those that, in your judgment, contribute the most to achieving the outcome-oriented goals for the award by advancing knowledge; increasing capacity for research, training or knowledge translation; or facilitating changes in policy, practice, or system capacity.


NIDILRR did not provide a place within the APR for grantees to report on the presentations made within a reporting period. This is because the agency does not have a performance measure that corresponds to presentations and, as a result, is no longer collecting information on the number and titles of presentations made within a given reporting performance period. However, there is nothing to prevent grantees from reporting a presentation as a "most important" accomplishment, if they feel it meets the definition of most important. This can be done in two places: first, under outputs Types 2-4 for Tools, Technology Products, and/or Information Products; and/or, second, under "Other Accomplishments and Contributions," if grantees feel a presentation falls within the criteria for this item.


You may enter as many as 2 type 2 outputs produced since you submitted your last APR. The system will not allow you to enter more than two.


You can edit or delete new entries, but not those carried forward from a previous APR.

NIDILRR did not provide a place within the APR for grantees to report on the presentations made within a reporting period. This is because the agency does not have a performance measure that corresponds to presentations and, as a result, is no longer collecting information on the number and titles of presentations made within a given reporting performance period. However, there is nothing to prevent grantees from reporting a presentation as a "most important" accomplishment, if they feel it meets the definition of most important. This can be done in two places: first, under outputs Types 2-4 for Tools, Technology Products, and/or Information Products; and/or, second, under "Other Accomplishments and Contributions," if grantees feel a presentation falls within the criteria for this item.


You may enter as many as 2 type 4 outputs produced since you submitted your last APR. The system will not allow you to enter more than two.


You can edit or delete new entries, but not those carried forward from a previous APR.

Outcomes (Accomplishments) Since Last APR Instructions

Reporting Period: 10/01/2012 to 09/30/2017


This section includes: (1) external use and adoption of NIDILRR-funded outputs; and (2) other accomplishments and contributions.


The external use and adoption subsection requests information about the external use or adoption since your last APR of up to five outputs that are related to the objectives of the current award and that were produced by you with NIDILRR funding either under the current award or in a previous NIDILRR funding cycle. "External use or adoption" refers to use or adoption by persons or groups external to the grant (i.e., not project staff or collaborators).


Due to the length of records in this subsection, it does not include a table summarizing information from your previous annual reports. If you are in doubt about whether the external use or adoption of an output has been previously reported, please refer to your previously submitted APRs, which you can access on- line.


If an output has been used or adopted since your last APR, you may enter a record for that output even if you previously reported on a different use or adoption.


Shape113 The "other accomplishments and contributions" subsection includes a table summarizing information from your previous annual reports, beginning with reports for the period ending May 31, 2007. If you have completed any other such accomplishments since you submitted your last APR, please add them to this table. Otherwise, the information is for reference in completing Section V, following. (You cannot edit or delete previously entered records.)

External Use and Adoption of NIDILRR-Funded Outputs (a)

Reporting Period: 10/01/2012 to 09/30/2017


Complete the "Types 1-4 Outputs" section before entering information in this section. All "most important" outputs since you submitted your last APR must be reported in the "Types 1-4 Outputs" section.


This section requests information about the external use or adoption since you submitted your last APR of up to five outputs that are related to the objectives of the current award and that were produced by you with NIDILRR funding either under the current award or in a previous NIDILRR funding cycle. "External use or adoption" refers to use or adoption by persons or groups external to the grant (i.e., not project staff or collaborators). Click here for examples of external use and adoption.

HELP: Examples of external use or adoption include, but are not limited to:


Shape120 A research finding, a new prototype, tool, engineering standard, or information product of this grant is discussed in a publication, a syndicated story with regional or national circulation, a consumer newsletter, etc., by someone who is not project staff, a collaborator, or a person otherwise associated with your project or its members.


Shape121 Your program—possibly in a previous NIDILRR funding cycle--created an instrument that is related to the objectives of the current award. This instrument is now being used in someone else's research.


Shape122 Your program—possibly in a previous NIDILRR funding cycle--developed an assistive device that is related to the objectives of the current award. This device is now being manufactured for, and used by, individuals with disabilities.


NOTE: It is important to stress that outputs reported in this section can be based on NIDILRR research, development, and related activities that you conducted in a previous reporting period or NIDILRR funding cycle as long as the outputs are related to the objectives of the current award and were used or adopted during the current reporting period by persons or groups external to the grant.


To complete this sub-section, you will either select from a list of previously reported outputs (beginning with the 2007 reporting period, and including outputs entered in earlier sections of the current report) or enter new outputs not previously reported. You must complete the Performance: Outputs section before the External Use section so that all of this year's outputs will be included in the list. Examples of outputs not previously reported are outputs produced prior to the 2007 reporting period, produced in a previous funding cycle (under a different grant number), Type 2-4 outputs not previously reported because they were not considered "most important," or outputs you did not report at the appropriate time.


If you answer "yes" to both Question 1 and Question 2 below, you must report at least one output on the following page. If you answer "no" to either of these questions, this section is complete.


You may upload up to 5 files to provide evidence of use/adoption in question 6 and up to 5 files to provide evidence of the output's role in bringing about changes in question 13. In questions 5-6 and 12-13, you may also both upload evidence and describe where NIDILRR can find documentation.


Shape123 You may use the list of previously reported outputs for this award (beginning with the 2007 reporting period, and including outputs entered in earlier sections of your current report) for reference in answering the following questions. For additional details concerning any of the outputs listed, please access the relevant report.


    1. Were any outputs produced under this award, or produced in a previous NIDILRR funding cycle and related to the objectives of the current award, used or adopted by persons or groups external to the grant since you submitted your last APR?


NOTE: If "no," system will take grantee back to the Table of Contents.
