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

George Gotto presented information on the field-initiated project “Determining the Efficacy of the Self-Determined Career Development Model of Instruction to Improve Employment Outcomes for Adults With Developmental Disabilities,” funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). Dr.

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.

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.
