Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers
Introduction
The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research funds approximately 30 Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers (RRTCs). Purposes for RRTCs include:
- To conduct research targeted toward the production of new knowledge which will improve rehabilitation methodology and service delivery systems, alleviate or stabilize disabling conditions, and promote maximum social and economic independence.
- To institute related teaching and training programs to disseminate and promote the utilization of research findings, thereby reducing the usual long intervening delay between the discovery of new knowledge and its wide application in practice.
Please visit individual sites to find RRTC ATS and ATD Training Opportunities.
