title: National Institute of Handicapped Research; proposed funding priorities for fiscal year 1983--Education Department. Notice of proposed funding priorities for fiscal year 1983.
abstract: The Secretary of Education proposed funding priorities for research activities to be supported by the National Institute of Handicapped Research (NIHR) in Fiscal Year 1983. NIHR is required under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, to develop a long-range research plan which identifies rehabilitation research that needs to be conducted and to determine funding priorities which will facilitate the support of these activities within available resources. These proposed priorities are derived from the NIHR Long-Range Plan and are articulated within the goals, objectives, and research activities specified in the Plan. NIHR final regulations (46 FR 45300, September 10, 1981) authorize the Secretary to establish research priorities by reserving funds to support particular research activities (see 34 CFR 351.32). Authority for the research program of NIHR is contained in section 204 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by Pub. L. 95-602. Under this program, awards are issued to public and private agencies and organizations, including institutions of higher education. NIHR is permitted to make awards for periods up to 60 months.
