January 15, 2013 — Two new National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) priorities were proposed in January. The first recommends a Disability and Rehabilitation Research Project (DRRP) on the development of inclusive Cloud and Web computing infrastructure that incorporates accessibility features and allows individuals with disabilities to easily operate, interact with, and understand the software [FR Doc No: 2013-00577]. The second proposes a DRRP to function as the Center on Knowledge Translation for Technology Transfer, which would be responsible for the “research, development, technical assistance, dissemination, and utilization activities” to assist with the “successful technology transfer of rehabilitation technology products and devices developed by NIDRR-funded technology grantees” priority [FR Doc No: 2013-00580]. Comments are invited on both proposed priorities on or before February 14, 2013.
