NEW YORK RDRC 2024-2025 GRANT PROPOSAL
We are excited to announce a call for RFP submissions for the 2024-2025 New York Retirement and Disability Research Centers grant proposal. The role of Retirement and Disability Research Centers is to build and strengthen the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) capacity to undertake a broad range of research, evaluation, and policy analysis for the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI), Disability Insurance (DI), and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. Because specific research needs evolve over time, SSA provides a list of focal areas of research each year.
Grants will be awarded at funding levels ranging from $50,000 to $100,000.
The New York Retirement and Disability Research Center (RDRC) brings together the CUNY Institute for Demographic Research, the Brookdale Center for Healthy Aging, and the Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis to illuminate the multifaceted challenges facing older adults and people with disabilities, caused by the political economy, geographical divides, the changing workplace, and climate instability.
Two topics are relevant to all the focal areas and should be considered when developing all research proposals:
- Racial equity and support for communities facing barriers. SSA encourages all researchers to consider equity—including the structural barriers that may contribute to disparate outcomes among people who have been historically underserved, marginalized, or adversely affected by persistent poverty—as they develop their proposals.
- The COVID-19 pandemic and how it impacts SSA programs and the populations SSA serves. In particular, we are interested in studies that consider how Long COVID may affect health, employment, and participation in Social Security programs.
Please review the attached RFP outline for eligibility, requirements & expectations, and application instructions. RFPs are due by Fri. May 10th, 2024 via the webform on the NY-RDRC website.
For more information, please visit our website RFP — New York Retirement & Disability Research Center (nyrdrc.org) or feel free to reach out to Lawrence MacLean (CIDR.Admin@baruch.cuny.edu).
