ACL's National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) is announcing five 2024 Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Program grant awards.
The ARRT grants are intended to increase the number of high-quality disability and rehabilitation researchers. Grants are made to institutions of higher education to provide research training to individuals with doctorates or similar advanced degrees. The disability and rehabilitation researchers trained by these grants will improve community living and participation, employment, and health and function outcomes among people with disabilities.
The planned project period for these grants is five years, with an estimated funding amount of up to $200,000 per year for each grantee.
