NIDILRR is the federal government’s primary disability research organization. NIDILRR’s plan will present a five-year agenda to advance the work being done in applied disability, independent living and rehabilitation research and development.

These sessions will provide more details on NIDILRR’s Long-Range Plan framework and allow stakeholders to provide input and ask questions. Participants will be given approximately 3 minutes each to share their input.

Stakeholders not participating in the listening sessions can provide input and questions in writing.  Comments are due by November 21st.
