Greetings NIDILRR Grantees,
It is time to submit your presentation proposals for the upcoming 2025 NARRTC Conference on April 22nd – 23rd in Old Town Alexandria, VA.
Our conference theme this year Minding our Methods: Enhancing Community, Health, and Employment Outcomes with People with Disabilities builds on NIDILRR’s Long-Range Plan and commitment to rigorous disability-led research initiatives. We want to know how you have adapted your research, development, and measurement methods given the changing nature of U.S. demographics, environments (in vivo and virtual), ideologies, laws and regulations, and the interactions between them.
Proposal review:
NARRTC review committee members will prioritize proposals related to the conference theme. As always, we are particularly interested in submissions that focus on the future of disability-related research, policy and/or advocacy efforts in relation to the three domains of NIDILRR’s research and development agenda:
- Health and Function
- Employment
- Community Living and Participation.
Key Dates:
- Submissions due: November 15, 2024
