PROJECT SPONSORS

NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DISABILITY AND REHABILITATION RESEARCH (NIDRR), U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

"The NIDRR mission is manifold: to provide for research and demonstration projects, training, and related activities; to maximize the full inclusion and integration into society, employment, independent living, of individuals with disabilities and to provide support to their families; to increase the economic and social self-sufficiency of individuals with disabilities of all ages, and to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act."

- Katherine Seelman Director, NIDRR

The NIDRR is the federal government's single largest funding source for assistive technology research and development programs. These programs include fifteen Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers, each focused on a particular assistive technology industry or research topic.

MID ATLANTIC REGION OF THE FEDERAL LABORATORY CONSORTIUM

The Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) represents the resources of all of the Federal laboratories. In partnership with the T²RERC, the FLC is seeking ways to integrate their laboratories' technologies with the needs identified by consumers, manufacturers, and researchers in the assistive technology industry.
