International Exploration of Rehabilitation Length of Stay Following Spinal Cord Injury

The purpose of the DRRPs is to achieve the goals of, and improve the effectiveness of, services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act, by generating new knowledge, or developing methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that advance a wide range of health and function, community living, and employment outcomes among people with disabilities, especially people with disabilities who have the greatest support needs. Under this particular DRRP priority, the grantee must conduct research on the international variation in rehabilitation intensity and length of stay following spinal cord injury (SCI), and the relationship between this variation and rehabilitation outcomes. The U.S. based grantee must have international collaborators, and must explore the experiences and outcomes of people with SCI in the U.S. and other countries. NIDILRR plans to make one grant under this opportunity in FY 2023. This grant will have a 60-month project period, with five 12-month budget periods
