Disability and Rehabilitation Engineering Research
Research and development is only meaningful if it gets into the hands of people who will use it to:
- make better decisions,
- improve available products,
- implement better policies and
- develop better programs and services.
We'd like to use these pages to increase awareness about completed research, research in progress and the areas where research is still needed.
National Center for the Dissemination of Disability Research
The National Center for the Dissemination of Disability Research (NCDDR) in Austin, Texas was developed to help with the important job of disseminating research funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR).
NIDRR funds these large categories of disability and research projects:
