NIDRR's Long-Range Plans
- Long-Range Plan for Fiscal Years 2005 Through 2009.
NIDRR's current Long-Range Plan, the guiding document for NIDRR-supported
research, was published in the Federal Register on Feb. 15, 2006. The
plan reflects consideration of comments on the draft plan from members of
the public, including people with disabilities, their families and advocates,
and researchers and service providers. The final plan emphasizes five "domains"
as areas for expanded research efforts through 2009 in support of people with
disabilities: employment; participation and community living; health and function;
technology for access and function; and disability demographics.

- Previous Long-Range Plan for Fiscal Years 1999 Through 2003.
The previous NIDRR Long-Range Plan presented a five-year agenda to advance
the vital work being done in applied rehabilitation research. This Long-Range
Plan fulfilled NIDRR's obligation under the Rehabilitation Act to provide
a plan that identified research needs and set research priorities for the
disability field. This plan was intended to balance the competing demands
of consumer relevance and scientific rigor, to present an agenda that was
scientifically sound and accountable, and to contribute to the refinement
of the nation's science and technology policy. The Executive Summary describes
the purpose and scope of the previous Long-Range Plan, which was published
in the Federal Register on December 7, 1999 (64 FR 68575-68614).
