Description
This grant opportunity supports the Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Program in the domain of community living and participation. The ARRT Program aims to increase the capacity for high-quality disability and rehabilitation research by funding institutions of higher education to provide advanced research training to individuals with doctorates or equivalent advanced degrees (such as clinical doctorates, MD, JD). The training must be multidisciplinary and emphasize scientific methodology, mentorship, and practical research experience, with a focus on improving community living and participation outcomes among people with disabilities. Projects are expected to recruit and train researchers, including those with disabilities, and provide them with the skills and experience needed to conduct independent research that aligns with the objectives of the Rehabilitation Act.
