View Award Description

Advanced Training in Translational and Community Engaged Scholarship to Improve Community Living and Participation of People with Disabilities - <p>The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) proposes to provide an intensive interdisciplinary postdoctoral training program that will actively engage scholars in research designed to improve the community living and participation outcomes for persons with disabilities. This advanced training program will focus on sub-populations of disabled persons who are most likely to encounter the greatest number of barriers to community living and participation: minorities, persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and persons with severe physical disabilities. Moreover, the training program will emphasize preparing scholars to conduct research that has real world impact (i.e., guiding and changing services, programs, organizations and policies that influence the lives of persons with disabilities). As such it will emphasize: a) translational scholarship that uses empirical knowledge to develop, refine, and test optimal community participation assessment instruments, services and environmental strategies to support these outcomes; and b) community-engaged scholarship premised on the notion that knowledge is generated by researchers, practitioners and individuals with disabilities and other stakeholders collaborating not only to generate theory and research but also to advance practice. Engaged scholarship employs participatory methodologies that involve stakeholders in the research process and directly improve services, programs, organizations and policies. Both, knowledge translation and community-engaged scholarship aim at addressing environmental and social barriers to community living and participation. The proposed postdoctoral training program will recruit and enroll up to 6 highly qualified post doctoral fellows from a variety of disciplines. Particular efforts will be made to recruit postdoctoral trainees with disabilities as well as those from ethnically diverse backgrounds. Each trainee will complete an intensive advanced training program (average of two years) designed to assure acquisition of key skills critical to successful research careers. The training program will include: a) didactic preparation, b) close mentoring by highly qualified researchers, c) immersion in ongoing research, and d) field placement in carefully selected programs or organizations that serve the target populations. Trainees will undergo a structured and closely-supervised training process with a range of opportunities for didactic and experiential training using the latest technology and with common expected milestones. Trainees will be matched with faculty mentors conducting research on community living and participation. At the same time, each trainee's program will be individually designed to assure that the trainee has access to the most rigorous and relevant concepts and research methodologies in community living and participation. The project will monitor and assure high quality training, and will support trainees to develop capacity to enter productive research careers that directly improve services, programs, policies, and societal attitudes toward people with disabilities.</p>
