No. NIDRR does not have a program of direct rehabilitation services to individuals. As our name indicates, research is our focus. NIDRR is a Federal agency under the Department of Education that conducts comprehensive and coordinated programs of research and related activities to assist in the achievement of the full inclusion, social integration, employment, and independent living of people with disabilities. NIDRR’s research is conducted through a network of individual research projects and centers of excellence. Most NIDRR grantees are universities or providers of rehabilitation or related services.
