The M-ISIG Executive Committee would like to introduce you to our current 7 task forces and provide you an opportunity to spend time with some of the task force chairs to learn about opportunities to become involved in these groups. Our current task forces include: 

  • Applied Cognition, 
  • Biomarkers and Biometrics, 
  • Long-Term Community Measurement, 
  • Rehab Measures Database, 
  • Stakeholder Engagement, 
  • Standards, and  
  • The Measurement Forum. 

Each task force engages in a variety of projects, such as systematic reviews and generation of guidelines which often leads to manuscripts and presentations. There are opportunities to suggest new task forces and get involved in symposia or presentations for the upcoming Annual Conference.

We look forward to seeing you and your input on January 18th at 9:30 AM ET

Seeking subject matter experts to develop common data elements

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), and National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) are convening a working group of subject matter experts (clinicians, researchers, patient advocates, allied health professionals) to develop common data elements (CDEs) for rehabilitation research in neurological disorders. The goal is to develop data standards for clinical research in rehabilitation that are a current and useful tool for investigators and their research teams. The M-ISIG is eager to support this effort and invites ACRM members to serve as subject matter experts.

There is a particular need for subject matter experts in comorbid/behavioral conditions (e.g., sleep, pain) and speech language/communication disorders (e.g., deafness, aphasia).  Contact Allen Heinemann or Noelle Carlozzi to learn more.

JOIN US!

The opportunity to participate in more than 20 specialized interdisciplinary special interest groups (ISIG) and networking groups and to engage in their task forces is one of the most valuable benefits of ACRM membership.

Membership is available at various levels and includes a subscription to the most-cited journal in rehabilitation, Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, as well as discounted member pricing on all ACRM products and events.
