The purpose of the Field Initiated Projects program is to generate new knowledge through research or to develop methods, products, procedures, or technologies — to maximize the full inclusion and integration into society, employment, independent living, family\/caregiver support, and economic and self sufficiency of people with disabilities, especially people with disabilities who have the greatest support needs. A grantee must identify one or more hypotheses or research questions and, based on the hypotheses or research questions identified, perform an intensive, systematic study directed toward producing (1) new scientific knowledge, or (2) better understanding of the subject, problem studied, or body of knowledge. Grants will have a 36-month project period, with three 12-month budget periods.<\/p>\n
