Description

As authorized under section 1110 of the Social Security Act, SSA announces the solicitation of competitive applications for cooperative agreements to establish a Retirement and Disability Research Consortium (RDRC). SSA seeks applications in support of the RDRC that will continue to serve as a national resource fostering high quality research on matters related to retirement and disability policy. The RDRC may consist of one or more research “centers” (see section C.1. Eligible Applicants). The RDRC’s program purpose is to benefit the public through the following activities: a. Research, evaluation, and data development. SSA expects the RDRC to plan, initiate, and maintain a high-quality, multi-disciplinary research program that will cover issues related to Social Security programs in addition to broader retirement and disability policy. To facilitate the production of research, the RDRC can conduct data development activities including both the development of and expanded access to research data. b. Dissemination. The RDRC will disseminate policy research findings using a variety of media to inform the academic community, policymakers, stakeholders in community-based organizations, and the public. c. Training. The RDRC will train and provide funding support for undergraduate students, graduate students, and postgraduates to conduct research on retirement and disability policy related matters.
