Research, Statistics
This page lists a number of sites that offer information on disability research projects and let you obtain monographs detailing research results. We've included several of the federal government's "Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers (RRTCs)" and "Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers (RERCs)", but, in keeping with our Independent Living philosophy, we have not included those that focus on medical cures, treatments, or remediation.
