Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers (RERC) Program: RERC on Universal Design Applications
The purpose of the RERC program is to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act by conducting advanced engineering research on and development of innovative technologies that are designed to solve particular rehabilitation problems or to remove environmental barriers.
RERCs also demonstrate and evaluate such technologies, facilitate service delivery system changes, stimulate the production and distribution of new technologies and equipment in the private sector, and provide training opportunities.
Under this particular RERC priority, the grantee must conduct research and development activities toward universally designed products or built environments that promote positive health and function, employment, or community living outcomes among people with disabilities.
This grant will have a 60-month project period, with five 12-month budget periods.
