This grant is for the purpose of funding the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers (RERC) program, with a specific focus on Prosthetics and Orthotics. The RERC program aims to enhance the effectiveness of rehabilitation services by supporting advanced engineering research and the development of innovative technologies. These technologies are designed to solve particular rehabilitation problems or eliminate environmental barriers for individuals with disabilities. This particular grant will specifically fund research, development, and related activities dedicated to advancing prosthetics and orthotics technologies. The ultimate goal is to significantly improve health, function, employment, and community living outcomes for people experiencing limb loss or impaired limb function. Grantees are also expected to demonstrate and evaluate technologies, facilitate service delivery system changes, and foster the production and distribution of new equipment.
