FINAL REPORT
ALL PROGRAMS EXCEPT RFP

Public Reporting Burden
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 5 CFR § 1320.8(b)(3), no persons are
required to respond to a collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB
control number (OMB 0985-0050). Public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average 52 hours per response, including time for gathering, maintaining the data
needed, completing, and reviewing the collection of information. The obligation to respond to this
collection is required to obtain or retain benefits under Part §75.342 Uniform Administrative
Requirements and the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 P.L. 103-62.
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) plans to collect data through these forms to
facilitate program planning and management; respond to Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) Grants Policy Administration Manual (GPAM) requirements; and respond to the
reporting requirements of the GPRA. ACL uses this APR to address specific DHHS regulations
that shall be met by applicants and grantees. Data may be kept confidential to the extent
permitted by law. Send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the Administration for
Community Living, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 330 C Street, SW,
Washington, DC 20201-0008, Attention: Annual Performance Reporting Forms for NIDILRR
Grantees or email nidilrr-mailbox@acl.hhs.gov and reference the OMB Control Number
0985-0050. Note: Please do not return the completed APR to this address.

Type 2 Outputs - Most Important Tools

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.

Type 3 Outputs - Most Important Technology Products and Devices

Reporting Period:

Type 3 outputs focus on the "most important" technology products and devices directly funded by this
award since your last APR. The determination as to what is "most important" is left to the judgment of the
principal investigator. Technology products and devices include but are not limited to: specifications,
industry standards and guidelines; software or netware; inventions; patents, licenses, and patent
disclosures; working prototypes; products/concepts evaluated; products transferred to industry for
potential commercialization; and products in the marketplace.
"Most important" technology products and devices refer 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.
NIDILRR did not provide a place within the APR for grantees to report on the presentations made within a

Type 4 Outputs - Most Important Informational Products

Type 4 outputs focus on the "most important" informational products directly funded by this award since
your last APR. Information products can include training manuals or curricula; fact sheets; newsletters;
audiovisual materials; marketing tools; educational aids; web sites or other Internet sites that were
produced in conjunction with your research and development, training, dissemination, knowledge
translation, and/or consumer involvement activities.
"Most important" informational products refer to those that contribute the most to achieving the outcomeoriented 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 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.

Reporting Period:

Type 5 Outputs - All Datasets
For use by grants that started on or after September 30, 2018.

Grantees are required to report specific information about the submission of scientific data collected under this
grant. Datasets must be submitted to either the Interuniversity Consortium for Political and Social Research
(ICPSR) or an equivalent repository, as indicated in the grantee's approved Data Management Plan (DMP). The
information you provide in this section demonstrates your compliance with the requirements for public access
to scientific data, per the terms and conditions of this grant.
Enter all datasets produced during the entire performance period of this grant that were directly funded
by this award. Include only datasets that were directly funded by the current award.
Report all datasets, not just the "most important" ones.
NIDILRR defines "dataset" to refer to an electronic data file that consists of numeric and/or text data from a
research or development project. A research/development project may produce more than one dataset if it is
appropriate to store different types of data in separate files. There may be multiple research/development
projects in one grant award.
Note: It is important to stress that datasets reported in this section must be directly funded by the current
award.

Outcomes (Accomplishments) Since Last APR Instructions

Logged in as: SampleFinal | Logout

Reporting Period:

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 online.
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.
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)

Logged in as: SampleFinal | Logout

Reporting Period:

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:
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 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.
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.
HELP: This section of the APR is very important to NIDILRR because part of NIDILRR's mission is to promote the use of new
knowledge that our grantees create.
a. yes
b. no

2. If 'yes,' can you provide evidence of the use or adoption of any of these outputs (e.g., an electronic copy of descriptions of the
use or adoption, such as in professional journals or books, websites, newspapers, newsletters, or testimonial letters)?
NOTE: If "no," system will take grantee back to the Table of Contents.
a. yes
b. no

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

Reporting Period:

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.

8. a. Select the one NIDILRR domain that corresponds most closely to the setting or topical area where this
accomplishment/output is occurring. If the accomplishment/output is occurring in more than one domain, grantees may check
"cross-cutting" and specify the multiple domains that apply. (Note: Accomplishments that result from Technology,
Demographics, and/or Knowledge Translation activities and projects are also expected to fit into the following domains.)
(Select only one)
HELP: NIDILRR is often asked to generate lists of informational products by domains in our Long-Range Plan. Responses are
used to categorize the number of informational products produced by domain of the Long-Range Plan.
(1) health and function
(2) employment
(3) participation and community living
(4) cross-cutting (specify two or more domains that
apply)
b. If 'cross-cutting,' specify two or more domains that apply.
HELP: The cross-cutting domain shows that a disability research project often spans two or more Long-Range Plan domains
because of the multi-disciplinary nature of disability research.
(1) health and function
(2) employment
(3) participation and community living

Reporting Period:

In addition to the outputs previously described, please describe any other accomplishments that occurred
since you submitted your last APR that contributed to the achievement of your outcome goals for this
award; that is, any additional accomplishments or contributions that did not fall under Type 1, Type 2,
Type 3, or Type 4 outputs. This can include (1) awards and other forms of recognition key personnel have
received for activities and accomplishments associated with this award: (2) organizational
accomplishments that strengthen the infrastructure for conducting high-quality disability and rehabilitation
research and related activities; and (3) more consumer-oriented accomplishments that affect the lives of
individuals with disabilities and their family members more directly. You may also report on conferences
you sponsored in this section. For all accomplishments that fall into this "other" category, be sure to
provide enough detail to describe the nature of this (or these) accomplishments and how they are related
to your outcome goals.
You can edit or delete new entries, but not those carried forward from a previous APR. (To delete an entry,

Award Summary

Logged in as: SampleFinal | Logout

Reporting Period:

The information you provide in the Award Summary and Future Implications sections should be considered
an "Executive Summary" of your award overall.
For reference, your project abstract is provided below.

1. For each Research and Development project conducted over the entire course of this award, what are the key findings or
discoveries that resulted from it? Please respond using a bulleted format. List the findings or discoveries neatly under the title of
each research or development project that generated them.
(Limit: 20,000 characters)

2. For all other types of projects (e.g. Knowledge Translation, Capacity Building, etc.), what are the key contributions of this
award? Please respond using a bulleted format. List the key contributions under the title of each Knowledge Translation,
Capacity-Building, Training or Other Project you conducted.
(Limit: 20,000 characters)

3. Please list in bulleted format the most significant problems you encountered in carrying out the grant.
(Limit: 20,000 characters)

4. Please explain your methods for addressing the problems listed above and describe their impact on the final outcome of the
grant.
(Limit: 20,000 characters)

5. Looking over all of the projects you conducted and the outputs you produced over the course of the entire grant, what outcomes
(changes in learning or knowledge or policy, practice, behavior, or systems capacity) can you say your work helped to bring
about? Outcomes do not happen on their own. Therefore, it is important to show: (1) how the research, development, capacitybuilding, training, and knowledge translation projects you carried out relate to the outputs you produced and (2) how the
documented use of these outputs by intended audiences resulted in the occurrence of the type of outcome you are claiming.
(Limit: 20,000 characters)

6. What are the most important "lessons learned" in conducting the activities associated with this award? Note: Lessons learned
are different from problems encountered; lessons learned focuses on what you might have done differently if you had to do the
work in your grant over again.
(Limit: 20,000 characters)
