NIDRR Grantees Receive Recognition
→ NOTICE for NIDRR Grantees
In 1997 and 1998, one of the most-requested products from the NCDDR was the paper version of the listing of NIDRR Grantees' World Wide Web sites. NCDDR staff are now updating this document for the third time, for planned publication in August, 1999. All NIDRR grantees have been asked on several occasions to give their Web site addresses and updates when changes are made, so that we can maintain an up-to-date listing.
Please visit the NCDDR Web site's NIDRR Projects on the Internet at http://www.ncddr.org/urllist.html and verify that the Project Name, URL, mailing address, and telephone number(s) listed for your NIDRR-funded project are accurate. The listing is by type of project, and projects are listed alphabetically within each category. If there are errors, or your project does not appear but it does have a Web site, we would appreciate it if the PI or Contact Person would get in touch with NCDDR staff so that we can include your information, both on our Web site and in the upcoming booklet.

The NCDDR and the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Drugs and Disability (Wright State University/New York State University) have jointly developed a Guide to Substance Abuse and Disability Resources Produced by NIDRR Grantees. The NCDDR contacted a large number of NIDRR grantees most likely to have produced research information concerning drug and alcohol abuse relating to their research topic, including mental health, brain injury, spinal cord injury, and other areas. The resulting Guide includes 109 items that are identified according to product type, subject terms co-existing with substance abuse, and by grantee.
The Guide is intended to be a resource for use by researchers, professionals and people with disabilities. It contains scholarly items as well as a number of immediately functional resources for use by teachers, rehabilitation personnel and others in their work with substance abuse issues. The Guide serves as a link between research and practice by providing readers with a basic description of available items and how to obtain the items directly from NIDRR grantees, or from the National Rehabilitation Information Center (NARIC). It is hoped that the Guide will serve as a model for similar collaborations with NIDRR grantees on additional topics.
To date the Guide has been distributed to NIDRR grantees, state directors of general and blind vocational rehabilitation services, selected members of the U.S. Congress, state directors of mental health services, state directors of special education, and administrators of Centers for Independent Living across the United States. A limited number of additional copies of the Guide to Substance Abuse and Disability Resources Produced by NIDRR Grantees are available from the NCDDR upon request. An online version of the Guide is available at http://www.ncddr.org/du/products/saguide/ .
