Description
The purpose of NIDILRR's Disability and Rehabilitation Research Project (DRRP) grants is to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act by generating knowledge or developing methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that advance a wide range of independent living and employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities, especially those with the greatest support needs. Under this particular opportunity, a DRRP must conduct knowledge translation and related activities in collaboration with the Burn Model System, Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Model System, and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Model System grantees. Specifically, the MSKTC will be required to collaborate with the model system centers to produce and promote systematic reviews of existing research and information products for SCI, TBI, and Burn; identify and implement effective strategies for disseminating SCI, TBI, and Burn Model System programs’ research findings; serve as the central resource for the Model System programs' knowledge and product dissemination; and provide training and technical assistance in knowledge translation for the Model System grantees. This grant will have a 60-month project period, with five 12-month budget periods.
