Together, we can provide the quality evidence that gives rehabilitation a strong voice during these transformative times.

 

GOALS

1. Increase capacity for conducting and disseminating rehabilitation-relevant health services research.
2. Conduct timely, policy-relevant projects that demonstrate the value of rehabilitative care and inform decision-making.
