This week, as part of the Disability and Rehabilitaion Research Coalition (DRRC), BIAA signed on to comments regarding the proposed long range plan (Fiscal Years 2010-2014) for the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR).

The NIDRR proposal focuses mainly on employment, making only passing references to health and function research.

In the comments, BIAA and other members of the DRRC urge NIDRR to restore the broad focus of research and development activities by recognizing the critical importance of all major life domains affecting persons with disabilities, i.e., participation and community living, health and function, as well as employment.
