The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) at ACL is announcing funding opportunities for two new Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP).
Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program
The purpose of the DRRP program is to plan and conduct research, demonstration projects, training, and related activities (including international activities) to develop methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technology that maximize the full inclusion and integration into society, employment, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficiency of individuals with disabilities.
