COMMENTS SOUGHT ON LONG-RANGE PLAN FOR DISABILITY & REHABILITATION RESEARCH

People with disabilities, their families and advocates, and
researchers and service providers will have an opportunity to review
and comment on a draft long-range plan prepared by the federal
government's key agency for disability and rehabilitation research. In
its plan, the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation
Research (NIDRR), an organization within OSERS, emphasizes five
"domains" as areas for expanded research efforts in the next five
years in support of people with disabilities: employment;
participation and community living; health and function; technology
for access and function; and disability demographics.

The proposed plan was published in the Federal Register in a
supplementary section on July 27, 2005, and is accessible at

NIDRR will consider all comments received within 30 days and make any
necessary revisions to the plan. For more information on NIDRR, go to
