Activities
The grantee CoP offers opportunities:
- to hear from external presenters about how to raise awareness and promote use of their NIDILRR-funded products by employment-oriented audiences, including businesses;
- to engage in peer-to-peer learning to identify and share information about the use of disability employment research and, in particular, how these methods can most beneficially be used with specific audiences, such as business, policymakers, and people with specific disability conditions;
- for small group discussion about shared participation in KTER Center technical assistance, for example, a walkthrough of KT plans or brainstorming about what new findings would be appropriate for the KTER Center to feature in an Infobrief or other dissemination format we can co-develop with you.
