The KTER Center presented several brief “webisodes” to share up-to-date information about our research efforts with a goal of improving employment outcomes for people with disabilities.

The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), under its Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program, periodically issues a funding opportunity entitled “Projects for Translating the Findings and Products of Disability and Rehabilitation Research and Development into Practice.” The aim of awards in this NIDILRR funding categor

From October 2008 through September 2013, the NIDILRR funded project, Vocational Rehabilitation Service Models for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders housed at SEDL, worked to improve employment outcomes for people with autism spectrum disorders by conducting research and disseminating information about effective strategies and services.

The Knowledge Translation for Employment Research (KTER) Center (https://kter.org) at American Institutes for Research (AIR) is funded to test, in vocational rehabilitation (VR) agency settings, a knowledge broker model in which individuals are positioned to bridge the worlds of research and practice (Long, Cunningham and Braithwaite, 2013).

This webcast outlines a newly created tool to help individuals interested in knowledge translation & exchange (KTE)--e.g., researchers, knowledge brokers, and others--to assess created research for KTE potential. Not all knowledge is born equal; it exists on a continuum of readiness for use.

Ryan Williams, PhD, Research Director for the Center on Knowledge Translation for Employment Research presented findings from a study testing a knowledge translation strategy among a business-oriented audience.

The unemployment rate in the United States for people who have suffered traumatic brain injury (TBI) was around 60 percent for 2001-10, compared to a national average of around 7 percent.

Programs for adults who have suffered traumatic brain injury may improve employment status. All programs lead to employment, although no single program was more effective than the other programs.
