  1. NIDRR RERC Project Directors Meeting April 3 & 4, 2006

  2. Federal Register May 5, 2005 (Volume 70, Number 86) KT projects encompass the exchange, synthesis, and ethically sound application of knowledge within a complex system of relationships among researchers and users. (http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/7518.html)

  3. Federal Register May 5, 2005 (Volume 70, Number 86) NIDRR is particularly interested in ensuring that information to be disseminated is of high quality and is based on scientifically rigorous research and development. Potential users need to be able to assess the quality of research and development findings and products, and the relevance of these findings and products to their particular needs.

  4. Federal Register May 5, 2005 (Volume 70, Number 86) (continued) We encourage potential applicants, when identifying standards and procedures for systematic review of evidence, to examine the work of such organizations as: • the Campbell Collaboration (http://www.campbellcollaboration.org/), • the Cochrane Collaboration (http://www.cochrane.org/), and • the Department of Education What Works Clearinghouse (http://www.w-w-c.org/).

  5. Federal Register May 5, 2005 (Volume 70, Number 86) (continued) The center will help NIDRR projects prepare, maintain, and communicate evidence-based reports and syntheses in topic areas identified in conjunction with NIDRR. The center must-- (1) Identify standards, guidelines, and methods appropriate for developing evidence-based systematic reviews of disability and rehabilitation research;

  6. Federal Register May 5, 2005 (Volume 70, Number 86) (continued) (2) Serve as a technical assistance resource to NIDRR grantees to ensure that research studies will meet standards for inclusion in evidence-based systematic reviews;

  7. Federal Register May 5, 2005 (Volume 70, Number 86) (continued) (3) Develop partnerships with existing collaborations and registries to identify gaps and opportunities and to facilitate the systematic review of disability and rehabilitation research; and

  8. Federal Register May 5, 2005 (Volume 70, Number 86) (continued) (4) Identify and promote the use of evidence-based reviews in topic areas developed in collaboration with NIDRR and its grantees.

  9. National Center for the Dissemination of Disability Research (NCDDR) http://www.ncddr.org

  10. Highlights of NCDDR Scope of Work • Three Service Aims • Building of capacity of NIDRR researchers to negotiate the knowledge translation (KT) process • KT is defined as the exchange, synthesis, and ethically-sound application of knowledge — within a complex set of interactions among researchers and users — to accelerate the capture of the benefits of research through improved health, more effective services and products, and a strengthened health care system.

  11. Highlights of NCDDR Scope of Work • Three Service Aims (continued) • Increasing inclusion of NIDRR-sponsored research in systematic reviews • Improving consumers' access to and use of disability and rehabilitation research evidence in making informed choices

  12. Highlights of NCDDR Scope of Work NCDDR Service Areas • Research Quality • Development • Dissemination • Technical Assistance • Utilization Effectiveness

  13. Highlights of NCDDR Scope of Work Research Quality Services • Quality and Alignment of Research Design • Research question(s) and research design (assessment) • Type of new knowledge to be developed • Types of knowledge (1) discoveries (and descriptions), (2) measures, methods, and theories, and (3) interventions, products or devices, and environmental adaptations

  14.

  21. Highlights of NCDDR Scope of Work Utilization Effectiveness Services • Support for Conducting Systematic Reviews • Direct assistance to those conducting systematic reviews • Disability and Rehabilitation Research Coordinating Group - Campbell Collaboration • Evidence/Product Grading System • Disclosure for public dissemination and utilization • Research base • Readiness for use by consumers/families

  22. Highlights of NCDDR Scope of Work Utilization Effectiveness Services (continued) • Consumer Resources • Most effective communication and resource systems about research evidence • Plain Language Summaries • Electronic systems

  23. Highlights of NCDDR Scope of Work Utilization Effectiveness Services (continued) • Evidence-Based Technology • Merging evidence-based information in technology engineering and transfer • FOCUS on relevant topics • Community of Practice • Webcasts • Contributions to Library and Registries • Participation in Task forces (Standards, Systematic Review, KT)
