ACL’s NIDILRR has made #disability research #MentalHealth research a national priority, bringing real programs and inclusive practices into our communities. Learn more about this critical work and why #NIDILRRMatters.
From Research to Practice. ACL programs and NIDILRR research help make interdependent community living possible. These agencies are invaluable for the disability and aging communities. Recent actions to restructure HHS have made the future of ACL and NIDILRR uncertain. Learn why NIDILRR matters. An older man in a wheelchair is speaking to a young man on an outdoor stroll. The Administration for Community Living (ACL) has been home to the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). In FY 2023, ACL’s NIDILRR funded 271 grants totaling $112.5 million. These grants enabled more than 1,500 disability research projects to support community health needs. These projects have been paving the way toward greater community inclusion. NIDILRR programs fund research toward the development of new knowledge, innovative technological devices, prototypes, measurement tools, interventions, and other informational products to enhance community living, health and function, and employment among people with disabilities. Pie charts are visible showing FY 2023 Research and Development Projects hosted by NIDILRR. The Research Projects are 30% about Health and Function; 31% are related to Employment; 17% are around participation and community living, and 41% are cross-cutting across two or more domains. The Development projects are 21% around health and function; 11% around employment; 13% around participation and community living; and 55% cross-cut across multiple domains. Thanks to ACL’s NIDILRR-funded research: ACL supports recovery and rehabilitation for people who have experienced traumatic injuries. They have been a hub for health research supporting people with spinal cord injury, burns injuries, and TBI. The Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center (MSKTC) offers accessible health information to support these patients and their families and caregivers. NIDILRR grantees have developed accessible exercise equipment, active video game controllers adapted for use by people with disabilities, virtual environments to socially motivate recreational exercise, and standards for the universal design of fitness equipment. NIDILRR grantees have contributed to significant innovations in robotic and exoskeleton-based rehabilitation strategies for improved mobility and manipulation among children with cerebral palsy.
