closed

In 2024, SSA is looking for a new organization to help manage the ARDRAW program through a cooperative agreement. The new ARDRAW program will include one-year $15,000 stipends for supervised independent graduate-level student research on rehabilitation, work, and disability topics to a broad spectrum of graduate students, to cultivate new scholars in the field of disability research. In accordance with recent Executive Orders to advance racial equity, support underserved communities, and increased access to federal funding opportunities (including EO 13895 and EO 14112), a new objective for ARDRAW is to the increase the recruitment and participation of students of color and other underrepresented populations in the research areas of work, rehabilitation, and disability, for the purpose of fostering new and inclusive perspectives on disability research.
