| | Summary: | | The purpose of the RERC program is to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. The sponsor intends this priority to improve rehabilitation services and outcomes for individuals with disabilities. |
Details: | Under this priority, the RERC must determine the physiological measurement tools that are available in a specific sub-specialty of rehabilitation. A sub-specialty may be based on underlying disabling condition (e.g., spinal cord injury, and Parkinson's disease), or on specific sequelae that may be common to a wide variety of disabling conditions (e.g., pain, spasticity). The RERC must then develop and evaluate models and methods for determining the relationships between basic physiological measurements and functional performance. These models and methods must take the characteristics of individuals and their environments into consideration when attempting to delineate
these relationships, so that the results of this research are relevant to clinical practice and the real-world experiences of individuals with disabilities.
Funding
One five-year award of $950,000 is expected to be made. |
