This grant, offered by the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers (RERC) Program, aims to significantly enhance services for people with disabilities as authorized by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Specifically, it supports advanced engineering research and development of innovative technologies designed to address rehabilitation challenges and eliminate environmental barriers. The initiative also focuses on demonstrating and evaluating these technologies, facilitating systemic improvements in service delivery, and encouraging the private sector production of new equipment. A core objective is to provide training opportunities and, importantly, this particular grant prioritizes research and development of technologies that promote exercise and overall health for individuals with disabilities. One grant will be awarded for a 60-month project period.
