ACL's National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) is announcing four 2024 Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers (RERC) program grant awards.
The purpose of the RERC program is to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act by conducting advanced engineering research on and development of innovative technologies that are designed to solve particular rehabilitation problems or to remove environmental barriers. RERCs also demonstrate and evaluate such technologies, facilitate service delivery system changes, stimulate the production and distribution of new technologies and equipment in the private sector, and provide training opportunities.
The planned project period for these grants is five years, with an estimated funding amount of around $925,000 per year for each grantee.
Contact [email protected] at NIDILRR if you have questions about the RERC Program.
