ACL's National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) has opened three new funding opportunities: the Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems; and the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program on Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center, and Disability and Pregnancy.
The purpose of the DRRP program is to plan and conduct research, demonstration projects, training, and related activities (including international activities) to develop methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technology that maximize the full inclusion and integration into society, employment, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficiency of individuals with disabilities.
Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems: The SCIMS program is designed to provide research-based knowledge to support a multidisciplinary system of rehabilitation care specifically to meet the needs of individuals with SCI. To be eligible for a SCI Model Systems grant, an applicant institution must provide a continuum of care for people with SCI, including emergency medical services, acute care services, acute medical rehabilitation services, and post-acute services. For purposes of this program, SCI is defined as a clinically discernible degree of neurologic impairment of the spinal cord following a traumatic event. SCIMS Centers must conduct site-specific and collaborative research. SCIMS Centers must also collect and contribute data to the SCIMS longitudinal database.

DRRP on Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center (MSKTC): Under this particular opportunity, a DRRP must conduct knowledge translation and related activities in collaboration with the Burn Model System, Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Model System, and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Model System grantees. Specifically, the MSKTC will be required to collaborate with the model system centers to produce systematic reviews of existing research and information products for SCI, TBI, and Burn; identify effective strategies for disseminating those products and SCI, TBI, and Burn Model System programs’ research findings; serve as the central resource for product dissemination; and provide training and technical assistance in knowledge translation for the Model System grantees.
