Grant Description

The purpose of NIDILRR’s DRRPs, which are funded through the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects and Centers Program, is to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act by developing methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that advance a wide range of independent living and employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities, especially individuals with the most significant disabilities. 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 systematic reviews of existing research and information products for SCI, TBI, and Burn; identify effective strategies for disseminating those products and SCI, TBI, and Burn Model System programs’ research findings; serve as the central resource for product dissemination; and provide training and technical assistance in knowledge translation for the Model System grantees.
