Subject: NIDRR seeks peer reviewers in emergency preparedness and
disability Forwarded to you at the request of Bonnie
Gracer of OSERS. Respond directly to her at [EMAIL PROTECTED].
The
National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) (http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/osers/nidrr/index.html)
is pleased to announce the inclusion of emergency preparedness in its Long-Range
Plan for Fiscal Years 2005-2009, and invites interested persons to submit
resumes for inclusion in a pool of potential peer reviewers for future research
and development projects in emergency preparedness and
disability. NIDRR supports applied research on
all aspects of disability and rehabilitation, and NIDRR's work is aimed at
improving the lives of people of all ages with disabilities. Published in
the Federal Register on February 15, 2006, NIDRR's Long-Range Plan sets out five
domains of research -- employment, participation and living in the community,
health and function, technology for access and function, and disability
demographics. New this year, the Plan incorporates emergency preparedness
in the discussion of the national policy context for NIDRR research. The
Plan is available at http://www.ed.gov/legislation/FedRegister/other/2006-1/021506d.html.
NIDRR seeks peer reviewers
with expertise in research, statistics, and/or engineering who also have expertise in any of the myriad issues related to
emergency preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery for people with
disabilities. Reviewers are required to evaluate applications based on a
series of criteria in areas such as research design, development, technical
assistance, and dissemination. NIDRR strives to create diverse panels of
peer reviewers. Persons
with disabilities, and persons from diverse racial, ethnic, geographic and other
backgrounds are encouraged to respond. Regulations prohibit
Federal employees from participating as NIDRR peer reviewers. However,
everyone is encouraged to forward this email to persons who may be interested in
participating. Interested
parties are invited to send current and detailed resumes to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for
consideration. Bonnie L. Gracer, MA, MSW |
