Two New Model System Centers Funding Opportunities from NIDILRR

March 15, 2022

The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) at ACL has opened two new funding opportunities under the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program for the Burn Injury and Traumatic Brain Injury Model System Centers.


Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects Program

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. 

Burn Injury Model Systems Centers: provide comprehensive, multidisciplinary services to people with burn injury as a prerequisite for conducting research that contributes to the development of and access to evidence-based burn rehabilitation with the ultimate goal of improving the health and function, community living and participation, and employment outcomes of people with burn injury. Burn Model System Centers generate new knowledge through site-specific research projects, collaborative projects, and contributions of data to the Burn Model System national longitudinal database.
