Overview


As part of the development process for the NIH Strategic Plan for Disability Health Research, NIH is engaging with a wide range of individuals and organizations in disability communities to obtain their input regarding the health and research concerns and unique needs and preferences of people with disabilities. DPCPSI’s Disability Health Research Coordination Team will lead these efforts, in close coordination with other NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices via the Disability Health Research Coordinating Committee.
