NIDILRR is offering the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers (RERC) grant to fund advanced engineering research and development of innovative technologies. This grant aims to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act by addressing specific rehabilitation problems and removing environmental barriers. Through this RERC, the goal is to create, demonstrate, and evaluate technologies that enhance independence and community living for adults with cognitive disabilities. The program also facilitates service delivery system changes, encourages private sector production of new equipment, and provides valuable training opportunities. NIDILRR plans one award for a 60-month project period, structured into five 12-month budget periods, focusing on empowering individuals with cognitive disabilities.
