We Value Our Partners and Collaborators

As leaders in rural disability research, our projects incorporate the collaboration of stakeholders and consumers from the disability community. We seek input and advice in shaping research projects both during their development and throughout the research process. These partnerships ensure the relevance of our research as we work to improve the overall quality of life of people with disabilities.

Our goal is to make sure research results and products are useful and relevant to people with disabilities, their families, and service providers.
