Outcome Goals of the Award

All grantees are required to identify a limited number of reasonably ambitious outcome-oriented goals that
they intend to achieve by the end of the funding cycle. For (Switzer) Research Fellowships the minimum
number of outcome goals is 1 and the maximum is 2. These goals or expected outcomes should be derived
from your existing application. Each question in this section asks for a specific piece of information about
the key goals or expected outcomes you listed in your application. Your Project Officer assumes the
answers to these questions are based on goals in your application and will use your answers to track your
progress toward achieving these goals over the course of the entire funding cycle. Include the 1-2 "most
important" goals from your proposal that specify what you intend to accomplish and should be written in
terms of any of the following: significant outputs; advances in knowledge; increased capacity for research,
training or knowledge translation; and/or changes/improvements in policy, practice, or systems capacity.
Please provide a brief 2-3 sentence description of the 1-2 "most important" outcome-oriented goals you
plan to achieve by the end of the funding cycle. For each goal, you must complete questions 1-5. You can
access these questions by adding or editing a record.
NOTE: The fields in this section will be locked after you submit your first report. You will not be able to
update and/or revise your goals in any subsequent reports.

federal hospitals in the state of New Jersey during the time period August 1 1976, to July 31, 1977; all persons 18 years or
older with spinal cord injuries living in federally-subsidized nursing homes in Los Angeles County; all business establishments
with public retail outlets, employing more than 100 persons in the city of Los Angeles on June 30, 1978 (adapted from Frankel,

HELP:
1. Survey: In a sample survey, data are collected from a sample of a population to determine the incidence, distribution,
and interrelation of naturally occurring events and conditions. The overriding concern in the sample survey strategy is
to collect information in such a way that conclusions can be drawn about elements of the population that are not in the
sample as well as about elements that are in the sample (source: United States General Accounting Office, Program
Evaluation and Methodology Division. (1991). Designing evaluations (Pub. No. GAO/PEMD-10.1.4). Washington, DC:
Author, p. 33. Retrieved March 27, 2008 from http://www.gao.gov/...pdf)
2. Observation, or naturalistic study, is a study where no explicit intervention is given but organizations or groups or
individuals are observed naturally carrying out their business or practices and this is documented in a detailed way
(source: Penrose-Wall, J., Greene, D., & Merinda, T. (2007). Thinking research: Key concepts: A primer for capacity
building in research by non government mental health and drug and alcohol agencies. New South Wales, Australia:
Network of Alcohol and Other Drugs Agencies and Mental Health Coordinating Council, p. 11.

3. Case studies: a case study is an analytic description of an event, a process, an institution, or a program (Hoaglin et al.
(1982), as cited in United States General Accounting Office, Program Evaluation and Methodology Division. (1991).
Designing evaluations (Pub. No. GAO/PEMD-10.1.4). Washington, DC: Author, p. 43. Retrieved March 27, 2008 from
http://archive.gao.gov/t2pbat7/144040.pdf)
4. Focus groups combine both interviewing and observation skills and allow the observation of a large amount of
interaction on a topic in a short time (source: Penrose-Wall, J., Greene, D., & Merinda, T. (2007). Thinking research:

Key concepts: A primer for capacity building in research by non government mental health and drug and alcohol
agencies. New South Wales, Australia: Network of Alcohol and Other Drugs Agencies and Mental Health Coordinating
Council, p. 10.
5. Secondary analysis is an approach rather than a design because the data that are involved have already been
acquired under an original design for data collection, using some technique such as self-administered questionnaires
(Source: United States General Accounting Office, Program Evaluation and Methodology Division. (1991). Designing
evaluations (Pub. No. GAO/PEMD-10.1.4). Washington, DC: Author, p. 62. Retrieved March 27, 2008 from
http://archive.gao.gov/t2pbat7/144040.pdf)
6. Meta-analysis is a way of averaging 'effect sizes' from several studies. Effect size is proportional to the difference in
outcome between a treatment group and a comparison group (Source: United States General Accounting Office,
Program Evaluation and Methodology Division. (1991). Designing evaluations (Pub. No. GAO/PEMD-10.1.4).
Washington, DC: Author, pp. 64-65. Retrieved March 27, 2008 from http://archive.gao.gov/t2pbat7/144040.pdf)
7. Intervention study--Experimental design or randomized control design: some units of study are randomly
assigned to a treatment group and some are assigned to one or more comparison groups. Random assignment means
that every unit available to the experiment has a known probability of being assigned to each group and that the
assignment is made by chance, as in the flip of a coin. The program's or intervention's effects are estimated by
comparing outcomes for the treatment group with outcomes for each comparison group (source: United States General
Accounting Office, Program Evaluation and Methodology Division. (1991). Designing evaluations (Pub. No. GAO/PEMD10.1.4). Washington, DC: Author, p. 52. Retrieved March 27, 2008 from http://archive.gao.gov/t2pbat7/144040.pdf)
8. Intervention study--Quasi-experimental design: Similar to a true experimental design /randomized control trial in
that both designs consist of a treatment group and one or more comparison groups. However, with a quasiexperimental design, membership in a treatment group or comparison group is not randomly assigned. This difference
is important because it implies that, since the groups will not be equivalent, causal statements about treatment effects
may be substantially weakened (source: United States General Accounting Office, Program Evaluation and Methodology
Division. (1991). Designing evaluations (Pub. No. GAO/PEMD-10.1.4). Washington, DC: Author, pp. 55-56. Retrieved
March 27, 2008 from http://archive.gao.gov/t2pbat7/144040.pdf)
9. Intervention study--Single-subject design: may involve only one participant but typically include multiple
participants (e.g., 3 to 8) in a single study. Each participant serves as his or her own control. Performance prior to
intervention is compared to performance during and/or after intervention. In most cases, a research participant is an
individual, but it is possible for each participant to be a group whose performance generates a single score per
measurement period, i.e., the rate of problem behavior performed by all children within a classroom during a 20-minute
period (Source: Horner, R., Carr, E. G., Halle, J., McGee, G,. Odom, S., & Wolery, M. (2005). The use of single-subject
research to identify evidenced-based practice in special education. Exceptional Children, 71(2), 165-179.
10. Qualitative Interview: Structured or unstructured interviews where the goal is understand something from the
respondent's point of view and to understand the meaning of their experiences (Source: Kvale, S. (1996) InterViews:
An Introduction to Qualitative Research Interviewing, Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications, Inc.

categorized under more than one of the research stages, or research that progresses from one stage to another, you may
specify more than one stage.
(Check all that apply)
HELP:

1. Exploration and Discovery means the stage of research that generates hypotheses or theories by conducting new
and refined analyses of data, producing observational findings, and creating other sources of research-based
information. This research stage may include identifying or describing the barriers to and facilitators of improved
outcomes of individuals with disabilities, as well as identifying or describing existing practices, programs, or policies that
are associated with important aspects of the lives of individuals with disabilities. Results achieved under this stage of
research may inform the development of interventions or lead to evaluations of interventions or policies. The results of
the exploration and discovery stage of research may also be used to inform decisions or priorities.
2. Intervention Development means the stage of research that focuses on generating and testing interventions that
have the potential to improve outcomes for individuals with disabilities. Intervention development involves determining
the active components of possible interventions, developing measures that would be required to illustrate outcomes,
specifying target populations, conducting field tests, and assessing the feasibility of conducting a well-designed
intervention study. Results from this stage of research may be used to inform the design of a study to test the efficacy
of an intervention.
3. Intervention Efficacy means the stage of research during which a project evaluates and tests whether an intervention
is feasible, practical, and has the potential to yield positive outcomes for individuals with disabilities. Efficacy research
may assess the strength of the relationships between an intervention and outcomes, and may identify factors or
individual characteristics that affect the relationship between the intervention and outcomes. Efficacy research can
inform decisions about whether there is sufficient evidence to support "scaling-up" an intervention to other sites and
contexts. This stage of research can include assessing the training needed for wide-scale implementation of the
intervention, and approaches to evaluation of the intervention in real world applications.
4. Scale-Up Evaluation means the stage of research during which a project analyzes whether an intervention is effective
in producing improved outcomes for individuals with disabilities when implemented in a real-world setting. During this
stage of research, a project tests the outcomes of an evidence-based intervention in different settings. The project
examines the challenges to successful replication of the intervention, and the circumstances and activities that
contribute to successful adoption of the intervention in real-world settings. This stage of research may also include welldesigned studies of an intervention that has been widely adopted in practice, but that lacks a sufficient evidence-base to
demonstrate its effectiveness.
a. Exploration and discovery
b. Intervention development
c. Intervention efficacy
d. Scale-up evaluation
20. Please select the primary impairment group or groups that is/are the focus of this project.
(Check all that apply)
HELP: This question asks about impairment group at the project level. Answers to this question are aggregated and used to
present an overall picture of impairment groups that grantees focus on.
a. Sensory disability
b. Psychiatric disability
c. Developmental/intellectual disability
d. Physical disability

Performance: Type 1-4 Outputs Instructions
The questions in these sections, and the "other accomplishments and contributions" section, ask you to report
on four different types of outputs and accomplishments directly funded by your (Switzer) Research Fellowship.
Type 1 Outputs asks you to list the peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed publications directly funded by
this award, and to describe the "most important accomplishments" related to these publications;
Type 2 Outputs asks about any "tools" directly funded by this award;
Type 3 Outputs asks about any "technology products and devices" directly funded by this award;
Type 4 Outputs asks about other "informational products" directly funded by this award; and
Other Accomplishments and Contributions asks you to report on other types of achievements under
this award that do not fit into one of the four types of outputs.
NOTE: It is important to stress that outputs and accomplishments reported in this section must be related to
the objectives of your (Switzer) Research Fellowship. NIDILRR defines outputs as the direct products of your
research and/or development activities that have been delivered and/or disseminated to external audiences
outside of the boundaries of project staff and collaborators associated with this award, including outside of the
NIDILRR-sponsored (Switzer) Research Fellowship Seminar. Accomplishments refer to the documented
"outcomes" of your research, which are defined as changes or improvements in policy, practice, behavior,
and/or system capacity.
The Performance: Outcomes section also asks you to report on the external use and adoption of NIDILRRfunded outputs and the overall status of outcome-oriented goals.

Type 5 Outputs Instructions
Grants with start dates of 9/30/2018 or later will also see the "Type 5 outputs - all datasets" section, which
they need to complete.

Type 2 Outputs - Most Important Tools

Logged in as: SampleRFP | Logout

Reporting Period: 10/01/2014 to 09/30/2017

Type 2 outputs focus on the most important tools, measures, or intervention protocols directly funded by
this award during the current reporting period. Include only tools, measures, and intervention protocols
that were directly funded by the current award. 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 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.
NOTE: It is important to stress that tools, measures, and intervention protocols reported in this section
must: (1) be directly funded by the current award, (2) be delivered or disseminated to external audiences
during the current reporting period. NIDILRR defines "external audiences" as audiences that exist outside
of the boundaries of project staff and collaborators associated with an award, including outside of NIDILRRsponsored project directors' meetings.

External Use and Adoption of NIDILRR-Funded Outputs

Logged in as: SampleRFP | Logout

Reporting Period: 10/01/2014 to 09/30/2017

Complete the "Performance: Outputs" section of your APR before entering information in this
section. All Type 1 outputs (publications) for the current reporting period and all "most
important" Type 2-4 outputs (tools, measures, and intervention protocols; technology products
and devices; and informational products) for the current reporting period must be reported in
the "Performance: Outputs" section.
This section requests information about the external use or adoption during the current reporting period 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:
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.
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.
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 APR) 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

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

Reporting Period: 10/01/2014 to 09/30/2017

As you report outputs that have been used or adopted by persons or groups external to the grant during
the current reporting period, they will appear in Table 1 below. This table will be empty until you select or
enter the outputs you want to report for the current reporting period.
To report the use or adoption of a previously reported output, go to Table 2, find the output you
want to report, and click on the "Select Output" link. The selected output will then appear in Table 1 and
will be grayed out in Table 2.
For each output that you select, you will be asked a series of questions about the output and its external
use or adoption. The information provided at the top of the page in the shaded area cannot be edited or
deleted as it is information you have previously reported for this output. Once you have completed the
questions about the first output and clicked "save," you will be taken back to the previous page where you
can choose to report another output. You may report up to five outputs.
To report the use or adoption of an output not previously reported, use the "Add Type..." links at
the bottom of the page. Use these links only if you do not find the output listed in Table 2. There is
a link for each type of output. Choose the appropriate one and enter details about the output you want to
report. Once you answer all the questions and click "save" you will be taken to another page where you
will report on the external use and adoption of the output. Outputs not previously reported will be
identified in Table 1 by an asterisk and a footnote that reads, "Output not reported in previous APRs." You
will be asked to answer a series of questions about each output you report. Once you have completed the
questions about the first output and clicked "save," you will be taken back to the previous page where you
can choose to report another output. You may report up to five outputs.
