Project Description:
The American Association on Health and Disability is working with 20 national, state, and local disability organizations to form the National Consortium for Disability Inclusion (Disability Consortium), an integral aspect of AAHD's Disability Community Engagement Partner Project (DCEPP). AAHD and the DCEPP are funded by the NIH All of Us Research Program to support outreach and engagement activities related to NIH"s goal to "...involve over 1 million Americans in research that will study health and disease and improve individualized health care, especially for underrepresented populations based on disability status, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, education, and diverse communities from different races, ethnicity, age groups, and regions of the country."
More information is available about the NIH announcement and the roles of the AAHD and DCEPP.
