Description of Special Education Research Program
NCSER seeks applications for a Center on Serious Behavior Disorders at the Secondary Level that conducts a focused and systematic program of research on interventions for students with SBD involving the development of new interventions, or the adaptation of existing interventions to meet the behavior and academic needs of students with SBD in high school settings. The research must target students with disabilities as defined by IDEA who exhibit serious behavior disorders (regardless of primary disability category). Students with serious behavior disorders who are not currently served under IDEA may also be included as an ancillary population of interest. NCSER is particularly interested in a program of focused research along with dissemination, supplemental studies, and national activities that represent a comprehensive effort to develop and evaluate interventions and to move them from theory and research to deployment of widespread effective practices. Proposals must describe how they will address the pressing concerns in a systematic, integrated and programmatic manner within the program of research and supplemental studies. Applications that propose to develop only singular interventions that do not represent a comprehensive research effort, or interventions without a plan for supplemental studies and dissemination will not be accepted under this Request for Applications; instead, applicants should refer to the Serious Behavior Disorders Grants Topic.
