In the group: a Black trans man using a power wheelchair, an Afro-Latina woman who’s an arm amputee, a Black Autistic person holding a star-shaped fidget, an invisibly disabled Asian femme, and a multiracial person using a mobility scooter. Stars twinkle in the overhead dome as soft purple light fills the room and an air purifier hums in the background. A wheelchair access symbol can be seen beneath the mobility scooter.

Recent actions to restructure HHS have made the future of ACL and NIDILLR uncertain. Their programs and research are valuable and essential for the disability and aging communities. Community living is the most fiscally efficient and life-giving way that we can support people who might be pushed into institutional living. ACL programs help make interdependent community living possible. NIDILRR research provides the evidence for why this matters.

NIDILRR’s work has empowered and uplifted disabled researchers and emerging scholars. NIDILRR’s ARRT Program funds institutions of higher education to provide postdoctoral training, supporting approximately 70 research fellows every year. . In FY23, 51 NIDILRR grants were led by a main PI who self-identified as disabled, representing 19.5% of currently active main PIs of NIDILRR grants.  Grantees employ advanced methodologies to conduct research, including randomized controlled trials, longitudinal studies, and qualitative studies.
