The Hunter College School of Education, in partnership with the Center for Independence of the Disabled New York (CIDNY), the Independent Living Research Utilization (ILRU), and Mathematica propose a disability and rehabilitation research project (DRRP) on Minority Youth and Centers for Independent Living (MY-CIL). The goal of MY-CIL is to support NIDILRR’s priority for generating and sharing new knowledge that empowers CILs to improve transition outcomes of out-of-school youth from minority backgrounds. All of our research and knowledge translation activities will be developed with input from CILs and other stakeholders. These activities and objectives include a survey of CILs, qualitative interviews with CILs, pilot testing practices and services with CILs, developing and testing a manualized randomized control trial (RCT) intervention designed to improve outcomes for the target population, learning collaboratives, and technical assistance related to outreach, data analysis, collaboration, and other practices that show promise for improving outcomes for out-of-school youth with disabilities from minority backgrounds. Anticipated outcomes include new knowledge on CIL practices and services, an expanded evidence base on effective CIL practices, increased CIL capacity to deliver evidence-based best practices to improve transition outcomes more out-of-school youth from minority backgrounds. The expect products include CIL practice briefs, manuscripts for publication, podcasts, conference and webinar presentations, and a website and shareable media to disseminate these products widely.
