Transfer from 90DPHF0016 to memorial hermann health system

Memorial Hermann Health System received a $454,789 Project Grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) under CFDA 93.433, effective September 1, 2025, with a completion date of August 31, 2030. This five-year award supports research and development activities aligned with NIDILRR's three outcome domains: employment, health and function, and community living and participation. Based on Memorial Hermann's existing federal grant portfolio, this funding likely supports research initiatives related to disability rehabilitation and specialized healthcare delivery, potentially including work on interpersonal violence affecting individuals with spinal cord injuries, eHealth training tools, or aging-related research for persons with disabilities—areas in which the health system has demonstrated expertise.

As a prime grantee, Memorial Hermann Health System is responsible for conducting rigorous, high-quality research activities designed to improve outcomes for individuals with disabilities. The organization will be required to submit annual progress reports and demonstrate substantial progress toward project objectives to receive continuation funding in subsequent budget periods. Grantees under this program must maintain proper accounting records and comply with federal audit requirements, with Memorial Hermann's larger organizational budget likely subject to single or program-specific audits given the scale of federal funding received across its portfolio.
