Opportunity Information: Apply for ARDRAW DRW 23 001
The Social Security Administration (SSA) grant opportunity titled "Analyzing Relationships between Disability, Rehabilitation and Work Small Grant Program" is a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number: ARDRAW DRW 23 001; CFDA 96.007) designed to fund one organization to run and manage a small-grants program for graduate student research. Rather than directly funding individual student projects, SSA is looking for an educational, policy, or research institution that can administer the program end-to-end, including selecting or overseeing student projects and handling the distribution of stipend funds to graduate students who will conduct the research.
The core purpose of the program is to generate innovative, graduate-level research that strengthens SSA's understanding of how disability, rehabilitation, and work intersect, and how those relationships affect SSA disability programs and outcomes. SSA will identify suggested priority research areas, which means the student research topics are expected to align with issues SSA considers important for administering and improving its disability programs. The funded student work is intended to be substantive and deliverable-oriented: each project should result in a research product that may include original data collection (if needed), formal data analysis, and a final evaluation report. Collectively, the projects should expand practical knowledge relevant to SSA program operations, policy questions, and beneficiary experiences related to work and rehabilitation.
A key expectation is that the awardee will provide active program management and coordination. The managing organization must assign an individual or team to serve as program manager to coordinate the portfolio of student research projects. In practice, this implies responsibilities like organizing the solicitation and selection process for student proposals, ensuring that funded projects remain aligned with SSA priorities, tracking progress and timelines, supporting research compliance where applicable, and consolidating reporting or evaluation materials so SSA receives clear and usable findings. Because this is a structured grant program and not a single research study, strong administrative capacity and research oversight are central to what SSA is buying with the award.
Eligibility for this opportunity is broad and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and for-profit organizations that are not small businesses, as well as other entities as clarified in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted by SSA on June 26, 2023, with an original closing date of August 10, 2023. SSA anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $450,000, indicating a single managing organization would be funded to operate the program at a national or multi-institutional scale rather than distributing funds across multiple administrative partners.
Overall, this grant is best understood as a program administration award that uses SSA funds to sponsor multiple graduate student research efforts under one coordinated umbrella. The expected outcome is a set of student-led research projects and final reports that provide actionable insights into disability, rehabilitation, and work, directly supporting SSA's ongoing need to evaluate and improve how its disability programs operate and how beneficiaries engage with rehabilitation services and employment.Apply for ARDRAW DRW 23 001
