NIDILRR Stakeholder Match-Making Sessions

Announcement

ACL/NIDILRR is inviting stakeholders with similar interests to meet each other and find partners for collaboration

The Administration for Community Living’s (ACL) National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) is sponsoring virtual match-making sessions for ACL/NIDILRR stakeholders to connect with each other to share information, discuss common research interests, and ultimately find partners for research collaboration.

From October – November 2022, stakeholders will be matched based on similar research interests and will be provided with a virtual Zoom room to meet and talk. Each session will consist of one or more presenters and participants.

Presenters are stakeholders who are seeking partnership and collaboration for research purpose or stakeholders who have a research question or a specific research topic idea and want to make a pitch to the researchers. During each session presenters are asked to briefly share information about their organization and their research interest and pose questions to matched stakeholders.
Participants are stakeholders who are have similar research interests and who will be listening during the session, provide feedback and respond to questions, and ask their own questions.

Based on the discussion, stakeholders may capture information about each other and connect individually with each other to partner with after the session.

Please note, ACL/NIDILRR is sponsoring the sessions but will not be participating in the sessions in order to maintain integrity in future grant processes such as peer review, and is not endorsing any content discussed.

If you are interested in joining a match-making session as presenter or participant, please complete the brief survey using the individual links by Tuesday, October 25, 2022.
