As we begin a new year, we’re excited to welcome you to the very first edition of the Center on Knowledge Translation for Employment Research (KTER Center) newsletter, KTER Today. The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) funds the KTER Center. Its mission is to make sure that people with disabilities, and other audiences involved in the business of employing people with disabilities, are aware of and use the findings and products that NIDILRR grantees who work on employment have to offer. In this newsletter, you’ll find updates, resources, and practical takeaways focused on improving employment outcomes for people with disabilities. As we move into the year ahead, we look forward to learning, sharing, and working together to turn research into action.
If you missed the KTER Center Kickoff Webinar—or want to revisit it—this grantee-only event introduces how the KTER Center supports employment grantees’ knowledge translation (KT) work.
The KTER Center provides technical assistance (TA) to NIDILRR-funded employment grantees seeking support with knowledge translation (KT). Whether you need help planning KT activities, identifying strategies for specific audiences, or applying KT approaches to your work, the KTER Center is here to help. TA may include problem-focused meetings, targeted group support, assistance developing a KT plan, and access to web-based resources such as technical briefs, archived webcasts, and social media content. Submit a TA request to start the conversation.
KTER’s Working Groups help guide and strengthen the center’s knowledge translation efforts for employment research. The National Advisory Board provides strategic guidance and reviews research and products, the Business Advisory Council advises on dissemination from a business perspective, and the Employment Grantee Community of Practice (CoP) supports peer learning and practical application of KT strategies. Learn more about each group and how they support KTER’s mission.
