NIDRR Grantees Receive Recognition

During recent telephone interviews with the NIDRR grantees, the NCDDR asked if the project had been given an award, citation, or other special recognition during the past twelve months. The NCDDR selected representatives from the Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers (RRTCs) for special recognition in this issue of The Research Exchange. We congratulate each of the grantees, and encourage all NIDRR grantees to contact the NCDDR with information to share in future issues.
