Summary: Supports research, training, and dissemination to develop and evaluate interventions that promote community living outcomes for people with disabilities.
This funding opportunity, issued by the Administration for Community Living’s National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), supports a Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) focused on interventions to promote community living among people with disabilities. The RRTC will conduct systematic research, provide research-based training, deliver technical assistance, and disseminate evidence-based information to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act. The goal is to rigorously evaluate and scale interventions that address both individual and systemic barriers to community living for people with disabilities, and to serve as a national resource center for stakeholders.
