Advance Preparation for NIDRR Grantee Pre-NARRTC Workshop
Is GRADE "The One" for Disability and Rehabilitation Research?
Sunday, May 2, 2010 (1:00-5:00 PM)
This workshop will NOT present the "nuts and bolts" of GRADE, but will focus on the development process and lead to discussion on its application for disability/rehabilitation research. Our presenter has suggested that participants review the following to help them prepare and receive the most benefit from the workshop.
