Project Description:
The Partnership for People with Disabilities is proposing to improve VCU's capacity to conduct PCOR/CER by convening a diverse group of people with IDD, families, advocates, medical professionals, interdisciplinary researchers, and VCU IRB staff to hold three web-based "community conversations" over the course of a year. Conversations will be focused on identifying IDD research focus areas grounded in the needs, desires, and priorities of people with IDD and developing a strategic plan for IDD PCOR at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) (an R1 University), with particular attention to preparing for PCOR/CER to improve health outcomes for people with IDD. The Partnership will work with VCU's Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation and engage our cultural brokering program to ensure that we will have representation from a diverse group of stakeholders.
