Deadline: 12 June 2018

Applications are now open for the “Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program: Center on Knowledge Translation for Technology Transfer” to promote the use of high-quality disability and rehabilitation research that is relevant to the needs of intended audiences by serving as the main knowledge translation (KT) resource for other NIDILRR grantees, including NIDILRR grantees that serve as KT centers (NIDILRR KT Centers).

Knowledge translation (KT) is a process to ensure that new knowledge and products gained through research and development will ultimately be used to improve the lives of people with disabilities and further their participation in society. From NIDILRR’s perspective, technology transfer is a subset of KT that focuses on ensuring that technology-based products will be transferred into benefits for people with disabilities through commercialization, engineering standards, and other tangible applications.
